[quote=Anonymous]The curve is an average so if you plotted the real data, it would be all over the place. I have a friend whose baby was 50% percentile for height at birth. She is 6’2” and the shortest in her family. Her husband is 6’5”. Her kid was 50% percentile for a few years and then grew and grew and grew. Her mother in law said all then babies in the family were average sized at first. Michael Jordan famously grew 6” after sophomore year of high school. The opposite happens too -I have another friend whose son was 95% for height at birth. Dad is 5’7” and mom is 5’2”. Their son (now 10) is now several inches shorter than my child, who is 8 months younger. Does anyone know if foot size is predictive of anything other than… shoe size? I think not, but just wondering. [/quote]
