18 months
……33inches, weight 25.5 pounds

When
he was born = 9 months…20 inches, weight 8, 4 pounds

Every
9 months his height growth is 33-20 = 13 inches, his weight is 25.5-8.4=17.1 pounds 

Pounds.  This means, for every 9 months, his growth is
13 inches and his weight is 17.1 pounds. For example we can determine his
growth in 3 years.

3
years = 36 months, 36= 94, his height will be 413 inches= 52 inches, his
weight will be 4*17.1 = 68.4 pounds
