Everett's Height Prediction

This was fun.  According to babycenter, our Everett will likely be 6 ft. 4 in. at age 18.

"Young men often continue to grow a little past 18 until they reach 21, but their height at age 18 is very close to their final adult height. This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used* there is a 50 percent chance that your boy's full-grown height will be within 0.8 inches (above or below) of this prediction, and a 90 percent chance that it will be within 2.1 inches."

I wonder if we'd get a discount for 2?  Afterall 60" might only get us through 4th 1st grade.
