"Genetically, there's a 75 percent chance Peter will be, too. 'If he's going to be a dwarf, he had better start dwarfing soon,' Darrel says. 'At seven months he's only three pounds behind Andrew, who is about half the size of a normal 4-year-old.' Or maybe he'll take after the rest of Darrel's family, where the average height of the other four brothers hovers above 6 feet." [1]
