Annabel continues to be off-the-charts tall, and not fat, but broad-shouldered and sturdy. Dylan keeps speculating about her adult height, and I keep reminding him you can't tell--I was short for my age until I hit puberty, and I wound up tallish (5'8"). Average for a woman in my family is probably 5'6" or so, but one of my nieces is about 6'1" (somehow getting the long legs the rest of us missed out on), and Dylan's mom is 5'10", so there's some serious height in our gene pool.
We now think she's going to be right-handed, which is a bit of a disappointment to left-handed Dylan.
I am all moved into my new apartment (if you don't count the twenty or so boxes of books I still have to unpack). The move went well. Teacup guy met my mother, stepfather, grandfather, and my best friend on moving day and everyone got along wonderfully. I am now stealing some time on my stepfather's computer before I go into complete computer withdrawl.
We've started my daughter on spelling to help with her spelling and writing skills. The funny thing is that right now her little brother is better at spelling than she is.
Ooooh! Wait for me, sj. I'm signing onto AIM right now!

Sure you can. There's a standard measure. I think you double their height at age two or something, to get their estimated adult height.

I think Susan's point is ... you can't tell.
You can estimate, but you can't tell.
Huh. Didn't know that. Of course it's all theory for me.

I remember doing this for my cousin when he was two and he was only supposed to be about 5'6". Which made sense because his dad and his mom's family were fairly short-statured. But he's 21 now and like 5'10.
It might be 2 and a half.
Also, I know doctors can project out fairly accurately by measuring the thigh bone and other factors. This was a big issue with ex-GF as they could tell she was going to be tall and would consequently need multiple extra surgeries on her leg.
