E1 is 57 lbs (around the 20th percentile) and 52.5" (around the 40th percentile). She needs to continue making sure to eat enough protein and calcium, and to strengthen her inner quadricep. Three of the four are crazy strong but that one is just strong; the imbalance can cause problems.
Z is 85 lbs (around the 65th percentile) and 61 1/4" (around the 95th percentile). His thyroid is a smidge bigger than it should be. No tests are needed now, it just needs to be monitored.
eta: I made both of them get their Chickenpox Vaccine booster today.
eta2: Z is ACHOO! back on the Claritin.
eta3: Height Predictors put E1 at 5'6" and Z at 6'3"
"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 girl's full-grown height will be within 0.7 inches (above or below) of this prediction, and a 90 percent chance that it will be within 1.7 inches.
THE FINE PRINT: Parents' heights are a good predictor of a child's adult height, but heredity only accounts for about 70 percent of what goes into deciding how tall someone will be. The other 30 percent comes from environmental factors, like eating habits (poor nutrition can "stunt" a child's growth) and exercise patterns (a competitive gymnast may not grow to her full potential).
Sometimes a child will surprise everyone and turn out much taller or shorter than either parent. This calculator can't account for that possibility. It also won't work well for children who 1) are exceptionally tall, 2) are already taller than both their parents, or 3) have a condition that affects their height, such as growth hormone deficiency.
