    Probably tall, DH and I are tall.

    I'm 5'1" and DH is 5'9" which is average for Filipinos! Hopefully DS will be somewhere near his dad's height.

    The predictors put him around 6'. I'm 5'4, but D is 6'1, my MIL is 5'11, and my BIL are around there. So far E hasn't strayed far or long from the mid-90 percentiles, so I'll be a bit surprised if he isn't tall.

    She is on the 98th percentile consistently, so probably

    I think he'll be tallish. I'm 5'7 and DH is 5'10. DS hovers around 85th percentile so I'm guess 5'11/6'

    We're both short but DS is long compared to his weight. Last time he had both checked, he was 1% weight and 29% height. He went through a growth spurt and bulked up, though, so he might have evened out his weight and height a little. DD was a pound heavier but an inch smaller at birth. I think she'll be shorter like DH and I.

    Probably. I'm 5'7, he's 6'3. Our daughter is already in the 90th percentile for height. She looks long to us. I'm guessing 5'8 or 5'9.

    Probably not. DH is an average 5'10 but I'm barely hitting 5'0. T is a little on the petite side...but that can change!

    DD's always been in the 90-98th % for height. I'm sure she'll be taller than me.
    I'm sure DS will be tall too.

    Probably average to tall. I am 5'11" and DH is 5'7", but LO has consistently been around 95% on length.

    Yes, he's been off the height chart since 6 months. The doctor said she would bet money he ends up over 6'.

    @LuLu Mom: ahhhh, according to that method my 2 year old girl will be over 6 feet!

    I think she'll be tall, but not that tall! I'm 5'7 and dh is 6'2

    He's only 40th percentile for height, and has always held steady around there, but who knows. I am short (5'3") and my husband is 6'0". My husband grew 6 inches in one year around the 7-8 year mark however, so you never know!

    probably not? I'm average (5'6") and my husband is 6'3". But we have a girl and DH's mom and sister are not particularly tall (like my height or maybe very slightly taller). But I guess it is possible since DH is tall. And my mom is sort of tall for a woman, at 5'9".

    (LO has been average height so far but I don't think that means anything because kid grow in fits and bursts).

    I'm 5'2" and DH is 6'2". He's tended to be in 75th percentile for length but it's too early to tell.

  16. coopsmama

    I would have to think so! Both kids have been upper 90th percentiles for height and DH and I are 6'2" and 5'10" respectively.

    She will probably be about my height (5'11") and is in the upper percentiles already

    Probably. He's 95% for his height. He's pretty leggy for a toddler. Both DH and I are tall.

    Probably taller than average to tall. I'm average height 5'4, but my husband is tall at 6'2 and his whole family is very tall. So far DS has been in the upper percentiles while DD has been in the middle.
