There is an old wives' tale that for boys, you double their height at age 2.5 to see how tall they will be as an adult. Brae is "supposed" to be 5'10". Not super tall, but not short, either. Right smack at average.
For girls, you are supposed to double it at age 2, because they grow faster than boys. Little Miss just needs a little over an inch to grow in the next six months before she will be 3 feet tall, and thus, 6 feet tall as an adult. Seeing as how she grew more than an inch just in the last three months, I think it could be a safe bet she will be at least 3 feet tall by her second birthday. (She has always been at least 2 inches taller than Brae at his same milestone).
Here's her stats:
1) Height: 34 5/8 inches. Off the charts. Again.
2) Weight: 27.2 lbs. Scaled down to the 80th percentile.
Doctor reported that her 18 month checkup showed no signs of autism. She is generally growing and functioning at a typical age/rate. She is feisty and fearless.
Sounds like S is going to be in the tall group with my G. Just had her 2 month checkup and she was 36"+....100%....she was trending over 100% before this....But ...according to the information we have ...she came from very tall genes....Luckily our son is also trending on the taller side too. Hopefully she won't be taller than him.

not 2 month....2 year.
DeleteI like your old wives tale version better than the one swirling around here..."double her height at age 3". I almost freaked out when I did those calculations, as that would have landed Gracie at about 7 feet tall.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad miss girl got a good report. We go for Karis' 18 month visit on Monday. Maybe I'll actually blog about it.
Glad to hear that your little one is continuing to grow so well...God is good!
