How tall will Daelyn be?

There has been some discussion lately over how tall Daelyn is after seeing her with other kids her age at Kaitlyn's party and at birthday/retirement party. I get email newsletters from parenting sites and the one this morning had a section on prediciting your childs height. I entered her information and ours and this is what it predicted:


Height Predictor
Thanks for using our calculator!

Your daughter will likely be 5 feet, 9 inches tall at age 18.

This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used,* there's a 50 percent chance your daughter's full-grown height will be within 1 inch (above or below) of this prediction, a 69 percent chance it will be within 2 inches, and an 84 percent chance it will be within 3 inches.

The fine print:

This method relies on where your daughter falls on the Centers for Disease Control's growth charts, and it assumes that she'll remain in the same percentile until she reaches her adult height. The accuracy of the prediction varies because some children will fall into different percentiles throughout childhood.


I can't emagine my baby being taller than me!!! Oh well, who knows what will happen but I just had to post this!
