Sometimes there is a corellation. My daughter was only 19.5(and 6 lbs)and her brother 20.25(and 6.5 lbs) and he's now 6ft tall and skinny and she's 5'2 and perfectly proportioned. They've maintained a good 2-4 inches difference all through childhood until he gained 7 inches in less than a year. (they're 14)
I just looked at my baby book( yea, still have it!) and I was 19 inches and 7 lbs, 1 oz. At the age of two, daddy measured me and estimated I'd be 5'10-I'm 5'8 but got the legs of someone who should be taller. Daoust is tall; if they measure their daughter on her second birthday and double it, they'll get an idea how tall she'll be as an adult.
