Apparently, when you're 4, you should be half your adult height. |

'By the end of the second year infants have reached approximately half of their adult height. Studies have shown that length at birth does not correlate well to eventual adult height, but relates best to maternal size. The influence of the paternal height gradually increases until by 2 years of age the infant's length correlates best to mean parental height. ' http://www.hini.org/HINI/growth.htm |

Same with my cousin, however, my other cousin is 4, and if he's half his adult height, he should be about 5ft 6ish. |

Paul in conclusion my (almost) three year old nephew comes up to my hip and my five year old niece is about up to the waist - maybe a touch higher |

okay - at the age of two - if they run into the doorhandle/table edge then it hits them just above the eye - at the age of four it gets them right in the jugular area cueing muchus panic around the house so - its up to the door handle and then add one head |
