They call it "vertically challenged" now

We measured Parker last night and plugged her height and weight into a height predictor and came up with this:

Your daughter will likely be 5 feet, 3 inches tall at age 18.

The fine print:
This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used, blah blah blah...
This method relies on where your daughter falls on the Centers for Disease Control's growth charts, and it assumes that she'll remain in the same percentile until she reaches her adult height. The accuracy of the prediction varies because some children will fall into different percentiles throughout childhood.

I had to fudge the age a little, because she isn't quite 2 1/2.
I'm not marking 'supermodel' off the list of her future endeavors, but I might go ahead and learn how to hem pants.

I would take vertically challenged over horizontally abundant any day.
