Family heights genetics + havent grown for a few weeks - when might growth pick up again?

❓Question❓

I'm a teenage guy and I've been tracking my height. I haven't noticed much change for the past couple of weeks, and I'm wondering how normal that is during puberty and whether growth usually comes in spurts.

Here are some heights in my family:

Dad: 6'0"
Mom: 5'3.5"
Sisters: 5'1.5" and 5'3"
Aunt: 5'5"
Uncle: 5'11"
Grandfather 6'2"
Grandmother: about 5'2" when younger
Great-Grandfather: 6'0"
Great-Grandmother: 6'0"
Great-Granduncle: 6'6.5"

I know nobody can tell exactly when I'll grow again or what my final height will be. Im mainly wondering: is it common for teens to go a few weeks without measurable growth and then start growing again? Does this family height pattern suggest there's still a decent amount of variation possible?

I'd especially appreciate answers based on normal puberty/growth patterns rather than exact height predictions.

I started puberty around age 12. I was 5'1" at 13.4, 5'3.2" at 13.9, 5'3.3" at 14, 5'3.8" at 14.2, and 5'4" at 14.4,. My growth has definitely come in spurts, I'm wondering when it might pick up again.
