Uncle Jim’s Prophecy
Back in November, a few relatives from Jill’s side got a chance to visit. During the visit, Jill’s Uncle Jim told her that Lucy’s eventual adult height could be estimated by measuring the two-year old Lucy and multiplying her height by two.
So, since Lucy turned two this month, we thougt we’d give Uncle Jim’s theory a go. In the pics above, you can see Lucy dutifully standing next to the way awesome growth chart her Auntie Laura made for her. Between the chart and some measuring tape, we figure our two year old is about 34.5 inches tall (2 feet, 10.5 inches). Using Uncle Jim’s formula, that would make the adult Lucy about 69 inches, or 5′ 9″.
Stay tuned: we’ll look back at this post in 15-20 years and see how we’ve done.
