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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1910165 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:40:12 +0000 cascademom 1910165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably. He's 95% for his height. He's pretty leggy for a toddler. Both DH and I are tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1910161 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:35:58 +0000 blackbird 1910161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She will probably be about my height (5'11") and is in the upper percentiles already </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1910151 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:29:57 +0000 coopsmama 1910151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1910059 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:32:53 +0000 Orchid 1910059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1910002 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:11:56 +0000 Mae 1910002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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". </p> <p>(LO has been average height so far but I don't think that means anything because kid grow in fits and bursts). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909995 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:06:36 +0000 Pepper 1909995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909991 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:01:13 +0000 yellowbird 1909991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: ahhhh, according to that method my 2 year old girl will be over 6 feet! </p> <p>I think she'll be tall, but not that tall!

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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909885 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:50:29 +0000 mediagirl 1909885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909875 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:43:46 +0000 twodoghouse 1909875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909867 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:41:27 +0000 ShootingStar 1909867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909846 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:33:12 +0000 plantains 1909846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is on the 98th percentile consistently, so probably </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909832 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:27:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 1909832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909809 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:01:59 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 1909809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'1" and DH is 5'9" which is average for Filipinos! Hopefully DS will be somewhere near his dad's height. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up/page/2#post-1909772 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 17:17:55 +0000 Andrea 1909772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably tall, DH and I are tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up#post-1909771 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 17:17:39 +0000 namaste 1909771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably average/maybe tall?

She's built more like her father, so I imagine she'll be a few inches taller than me. Still pretty short, probably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-kids-will-be-tall-when-they-grow-up#post-1909725 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:42:45 +0000 .twist. 1909725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: huh!
