Hey mama's! Hope everyone is doing great with their LO's:) ok, so just for fun i was looking online and bored. And found this height predictor for your child. The only reason i looked it up was bc my fiance is short and so we always tease him about our son being short! ha! he's only 6 months old, and i don't care what his height ends up being...just curious...i don't exactly believe in these things, but i did it for my own self, and it was correct down to the inch. so anyways, just thought it would be fun!
It said that Isaac will be 5ft10inches. i am 5ft7in, and his dad is 5ft6in. anyways here is the formula:

"girl:subtract 5 inches from Dad's height and average with Mom's height.
Example:

Mom 5 ' 8 or 68 inches, Dad even 6 feet or 72 inches
72-5=67 67 + 68/2=67.5

Boy
Add 5 inches to Mom's height and average with dad's height.

Mom 68+5=73 73+72/2= 72.5
These formulas are usually right on the money or plus 1-2 inches. I have been executing the formula for 15 plus years. It works for all the adults I know. They give me the heights of their parents and we complete a little study."
