Adult Predicted Height

I have read that in order to get an "adult predicted height" you should double a girl's height at 19 months and a boy's height at age 2. Of course there will always be exceptions but it's supposed to be fairly accurate, within an inch on either side. I even looked at my height as a toddler (thanks mom for my baby book!) and found it to be almost right on. Anyway, since Hailey is 19 months old today, I thought I would take her height for fun. By my measurement, she was 34.5 inches, which should put her around 5'9 as an adult. As a comparison, Hannah was around 35.5 inches at this age, which should put her around 5'11 as an adult. The pediatrician did actually randomly mention at Hannah's 4 year appointment that she should be around 5'10 as an adult based on her growth curve.

Those predictions sound fairly reasonable to me since I am 5'8 and Rob is 6'2, but I guess we'll know for sure in about 16.5 and 13.5 years. LOL Oh and it sounds like there's a good chance that I'll end up as the shortest person in our family! ;)
