My son is in 8 grade and is 5'7 132 pounds. i am 6'0 and his mother is 5'6. he sleeps 7 hours a day and eats good food. he has alot of hair over his body and he has barely grown in the past 5 months. is he done growing or is there a pause in growth?

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.
