[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How tall are the parents?[/quote]

He is already taller than them. Although, there are great uncles on all sides that were over 6', one 6'4".  One grandfather was 6'.[/quote]

Still a relevant question--one of the more reliable formulas for predicting adult height is to add the parents' heights together, add 5 inches for boys, then divide by two.  That number is usually plus or minus two inches of their child's adult height (according to the Mayo Clinic, I believe).  Another formula is to double a boy's height at 24 months.  Being extremely tall at 13 does not mean he will continue to grow at that rate.  I was very tall at age 12... and then pretty much stopped growing.  My parents are average height, and so am I.

Using one of those formulas would take a random guess to the level of educated guess, which is what you asked for.[/quote]

I hope this isn't that true! We both come from tall families, but I'm 5'1 and DH is 6'3. I would hope DS would make it to 5'10 at least.[/quote]
