I am 5'2" and my children's father is 5'7"

My son at 23 is 6'1", and my 18-year-old son is 5'10". My 15-year-old son,
still growing, is also 5'10". My only daughter, age 21, is 5'3".

When I doubled their heights at age 2, the results were pretty close - six
feet even for the oldest one, 5'10" for the 18-year-old, and it suggested
that my 15-year-old will end up at 6'2" (which I can easily believe, the way
he's growing). The average of parental heights formula doesn't seem to work
at all for us.

All our relatives are also short - my boys tower over most of their cousins.
However, my ex-husband's one sister also breastfed her children for several
years, as I did, and her oldest boy, now 12, is also fairly tall.
Interesting, isn't it?
