My son is 5'7 (13) and has grown 1 inch in the past year. i am 6 feet and his mother is 5'6. my son has facial hair and shaves every 2 weeks or else it looks like a stubble. he eats alot of homemade food (he weighs 131 pounds). is he done growing?

Growing an inch in the past year suggests slowing. His predicted final height based on cited parents height is 5'11.5"+/- an inch. An x-ray of his wrist/hand could be assessed for open growth centers. Open would mean more height potential/closed would mean he is done. He will likely grow more, but amount is unknown.
