I think they'll be at least as tall as your husband or a couple of inches taller. Boys hit a real growth spurt at about 16. Don't spend too much time worrying about it though. They'll be as tall as they'll be. Worrying isn't going to change it, and don't give them a complex about their height. It's what's inside that really counts.

There is no real way of telling how tall they will be exactly when they stop growing. However, giving the fact that you are short it is a good possibility they will be shorter than average as well. I would also check the web for national averages on heights at different ages, to see where your children fall.
It is also hard to tell because a child may be shorter or taller than one or both of their parents. My husband, for example is 6' 3. Is mother is 5'1 and his father is 5'8.

They will most likely be around your husband's height or maybe minus an inch or two from there but you just never know. Just make sure you feed them well and that they get plenty of vitamins. Most boys don't go through their growth spurt until high school and then continue to grow until they are 18. usually they say to take your childs height at their second birthday and doulbe it and that should be very close to their height. If you remeber how tall they were at that age from medical records it may give you a better idea.

You can go to this website below at the College of Kinesiology. It takes into consideration their height now, their sitting height, age and weight. It's a pretty good predictor. My son is 17 and they got it right with him. We'll have to wait and see with my daughter. Also, when my son was on prescription allergy medication it stunted his growth. Once he went off the meds he sprouted 4 inches in one year! Good Luck!

Based on what I have read, you calculate it based on their height when they were 2 years old. They will be twice that height when they grow up.

look at the height of the grandfathers and you should be able to gauge roughly how tall they may grow, but by the sounds of it they will probably be around 5' - 5'6".
