Height prediction: There are several formulas can provide a reasonable guess for child eventual adult height. To predict adult height: Add the mother's height and the father's height in either inches or centimeters. Add 5 inches for boys or subtract 5 inches for girls. Divide by 2. In your daughter's case: 62+72-5=129/2= 64.5 or approximately 5 ft 4 inches. Consider talking with your pediatrician for more info.
