TALL

When Jack was born, he was a modest 8lbs 3 oz and 21 inches long. A good healthy size, but not unusually big. He got off to a slow start initially, but somewhere around the 3 month mark he hit a growth spurt that doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. His weight and head are near the top of the growth charts and his height is off the charts. At his 2 year check-up, his doctor advised that based on his current height alone, we could expect him to be at least 6'4" as an adult. However, I found a website that does a more accurate prediction based on his height, weight, and his parents height. Barring any unusual environmental factors, it is supposed to be about 90% accurate within a couple of inches. Are you ready for Jack's prediction?!


6 feet 6 inches


Wow! That's tall. If you are interested in using this predictor, go the the Baby Center website here. I guess he won't be my little boy for long...

You and Stuart are both tall so it makes sense.

I'm with Amelia - get him interested in basketball - he'll be the star of the team!

finally...I won't be the tallest in the family. Maybe he'll have a future in basketball. So far Canada has only produced Nash
