check out this site...if you enter your childs height at two it will estimate how tall they will eventually be.
it said the boys are going to be 1.74 and 1.78m tall. http://www.bbc.co.uk/parenting/your_kids/toddlers_heightcalculator.shtml - height converter |

james is going to be 1.71m tall not bad considering both me and his father are short ------------- <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://b4.lilypie.com/nLJ5p13.png" alt="Lilypie 4th Birthday Ticker" border="0" /></a> |

Andrew is going to be 1.85cm (6 foot) but I think he will be taller than that as is dad is 194cm (6foot 4). ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| Oh man, I got all excited then saw it was only if they were 2 years old...good idea Kellz doing it for yourself, I'll have to get my baby book out and try that. Got to figure out how tall I am first though! |

By this theory my son's going to be a monster at 1.93m! They do say you measure them at 2yrs & double it - he was 99cms when he was 2. He is REALLY tall now - not even 4 but size of at least a 5 y.o. Sometimes taller than some 5 y.o.
Strangers ask him how he likes school & expect him to answer like a 5 yr old would. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

i think they do it a bit differently for girls...maybe its 3. but the link has a girl or boy calculator. you just enter their 2 yr old height and sex. |

It says Maya is going to be 1.75m which is a couple of cm taller than me.
Mum did the double your height at 2 thing with my brother and thought it was rubbish coz it estimated he would be 6 foot 5 inches, and he is! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Well, double Josiah's 2yo height makes him 1.64m which is 1cm taller than me. The site said he'd be 1.69m. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Well I had a look and it seems Mercedes is going to be 1.75m so thats a few cms taller than me. I need to get Lesieli's plunket book out and have a look for her. I know she is going to be shorter than that, as she was a shorter baby and toddler than Mercedes. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

hhhm confused.... Paris was 92 cms at age 2... so doubling that would make her 184cms.... the website says she will only be 171? ha i guess really it's just a site and based on averages etc. I fully beleive that she'll be the taller option.. her legs just keep darn well growing!
Ayja, we have yet to findout, she turns 2 in a couple of weeks, but she will never stands still long enough for us to measure her on the height chart. I think she'll be the shorter of the two all round, she's pretty petite - except for that little pot belly thing she has going on. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

It says that Bay will be 6ft 4 which sounds about right as that is exactly what DH is and we knew from day 1 that Bay and Astin now for that matter will be gigantic!! like their father!!
