He's always been between 75% and 95% percentile in length/height and is the second tallest in his class.

I'm 5'1 and DH is 5'6. She's very petite, I would really be surprised if she's much over 5 feet.

His dad is 6' so even if he slows down his growth rate I think he'll be about his height if not taller.

He's in the 90% for height so I definitely think he'll be taller than me. DH is 6' so I think he will be more around that height. mrsjyw on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376557 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 10:09:28 +0000 mrsjyw 2376557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yep, both DSs are in 90% and at their last well check pedi said if they stay on their growth curve they'll likely be 6'3" + DH is 6'1" and I'm 5'7.5" yellowbird on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376550 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 10:03:15 +0000 yellowbird 2376550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think they both will be! Dd has always been 90% for height. Ds is super tall and off the charts!

People go through spurts at different spots! lovehoneybee on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376540 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:58:34 +0000 lovehoneybee 2376540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm sure he is. He's been in the 95th+ percentile for height since birth, and he already comes up past my belly button. I'm around 5'4, but D is 6'1, and his brothers, mother, maternal grandparents were all around the same, give or take an inch. lamariniere on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376535 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:56:37 +0000 lamariniere 2376535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would assume so. I'm 5'4ish but DH is 6'2 with lots of tall genes on his side. I'm guessing my son will be around 6' and my daughter a few inches taller than me. Pretty much everyone I know is taller than their parents. oliviaoblivia on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376521 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:41:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2376521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Maybe. They are both in the high nineties but so was I and I only ended up 5'-7".

I'm just shy of 5'8, and based on height predictions DS should be about 6'0. Even if the height prediction we used is wrong (double the height at 2), he's consistently 95% for height, so I imagine there's no chance he'll be shorter than 5'8 as an adult.

I'm only 5'5".

He's been above 90% for height all his life (he was born with more than 22"). My DD not so much (she wasn't even 20" at birth) she seems to take more after my husband's family who are all on the shorter side. blackbird on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376510 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:33:31 +0000 blackbird 2376510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm 5'11", so....there's that. E is projected to be a couple inches shorter than me, but I wouldn't be surprised if T ends up over 6 feet tall, even though DH Is only 5'10". Both kids have been 90-99-% for height at every appt Adira on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376507 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:31:47 +0000 Adira 2376507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I hope so... they are both boys, so I hope they are taller than me! But Xander's pretty short for his age already, so it's not looking good. Alivoo01 on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376505 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:30:30 +0000 Alivoo01 2376505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I really, really, really hope so. Otherwise, I'm going to feel really, really, really bad for him! I hope he takes to his dad. He was born small and has hung on the bottom percentile since birth so I'm hoping he's like my cousins and hits some crazy growth spurt in his teens and bam!

My husband is 6'6" and I'm 5'7". Our three year old has been trending around 60-70th percentile for height. Our second LO is still a newborn but he was almost 21 inches at birth despite only being 6lbs4ounces so I imagine he'll be tall as well. regberadaisy on "Is your LO going to be taller than you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-be-taller-than-you#post-2376484 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 09:17:42 +0000 regberadaisy 2376484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think DD1 is just a bit above average for her height. I'm 5'5" and DH is 6'3", based on her milestone heights, I think she's going to be somewhere right in between us. Probably taller than me, but not taller than DH! But who knows. Just guessing here. :)
