[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our pediatrician told us to double our son’s height when he was two (39 inches). He is now 6’5” at 18 (and possibly still growing), so she was spot on. [/quote]

My siblings and cousins are all over the place in terms of height.  So are our kids.  I don’t know which one of us is genetically correct.     There’s a 9” difference between the shortest sister and tallest sister with a couple in between.  My brother is about 4” taller than my father.

What is the point of trying to predict a two year old’s adult height?[/quote]

I have 3 kids. DH is 6’2” and comes from a tall family where the shortest woman is 5’9”. I on the other hand am 5’3” with pretty average parents and siblings (all men are between 5’8” and 5’11” and women between 5’2” and 5’4”).

My kids were very big when young. According to this math, my eldest DD as an adult should be 6’ (93%), my middle DD 5’10” (I think 85%) and my son more average at 6’1”. 
They are still growing, but my eldest DD has been co Stanton in the 65-70% range since she was 4. My middle DD has been in the 40-55% range since she also was 4. My son on the other hand has been in the 80-85% range. I am very confident, that my son will be more like his dad and my middle daughter more like me while eldest daughter somewhere in between. 
We have several nieces on my husband’s side that are over 6’ and they were always huge… not just at 2.[/quote]

Hopefully your side will offset the over 6’ women in the family so your girls won’t be giants. [/quote]

No chance my girls will be very tall given that at 12 and 10 they are average or slightly above average. 
However, the 6’+ women on my husband’s side are beautiful. They are elegant like models with long lean bodies. I wish that was me![/quote]

You can be too tall to be a female model and most females over 6’ look more like basketball players than models.    Some women would be fine with it but most wouldn’t be ok anymore than they would want to be 4’9”.   [/quote]
