I just found a neat little calculator and thought it was fun! It predicted C at 5'11 by age 18. Her doctor actually told us the same a few weeks ago (told us to expect at least 5'10).
-
Wow! You guys must be tall?
LO isn't 2 yet, so I don't think it will work as well for him. He's already much bigger than either of us were at his age by now!
-
So there is a rule of thumb for double your LO's 2 year height and that will be his/her adult height... which for us would have been 5'10" (he was 2'11" at his 2 year appointment)
This predictor says 6'0"... very interesting!
We are short Asian people so 5'10" is tall already for our family.
-
@loveisstrange: whaaaat!! it says he'll be 5'7! omg. no.
I am 5'8 and DH is 6'0 - we're both average/tall. But J has always only been less than 25-30th percentile for height and weight.
-
Aw man, LO is only 16 months so we can't use it yet. Our doc is always so shocked when LO is still in the 50th% for height at each check up because I'm 5'7" and my husband is 6'6".
-
this predicts DD will be 5'8" at 18. I was hoping for 5'9, but 5'8 is good too!
-
E is in the 96%-tile at 1 year old. Everything I can find says she'll hit 5'10" at least, too!
-
LO was also at 96th % at 12m but has dropped to the 89th. We are honestly surprised she's even that tall... Dh barely stayed on the charts at that age (although I was around the 80th+%.)
She's still too young for that calculator though!
-
@2PeasinaPod: Not really! lol. Im 5'7 and DH is 5'11, both pretty average. We both have very tall siblings though.
@Raindrop: Ive heard that too. Doubling her height at 2 would put her at 6'1! lol
@blackbird: C has always run 97-100th percentile.
-
@loveisstrange: Wow you have a tall DD!
-
@loveisstrange, we can make our kids hang out and start a Tall Gang
Honestly, i'll probably put her in volleyball because I know that being SO tall can be an awkward thing for a kid, so I want her to excel in something where her height is an advantage.
-
I did a guesstimate of Ts height right now since he hasn't had his 2 yr visit and they are saying 5'7 and that seems about right.
-
According to that calculator, I ahold have been 5'9"
I'm only five feet tall!
-
Cool! DD would be 5'3" although her doctor said 5'4" and DS 5'10"
-
Aw man I can't use the predictor because DD is not 2 yet. Boo!
