Growth chart/BMI: Your doctor can calculate your body mass index which is the ratio of your weight to height to determine whether your bmi is normal. Your growth may be plotted on a growth curve for your age. Your height appears to be normal for age based on this information, but i would suggest seeing your pediatrician for the %tiles.
