Toddler Height?

So, I was looking at my one year old daughter today and she has a long torso and short legs. she was in the 5th percentile for height and weight. She is only 16 pounds but has a chubby belly and cheeks shes very healthy. Is this normal though... Like she can still wear 9 months at 14 months. but she can also wear 12 month pants too and even 9 month onsies fit her. Im not short for a girl im 5'6 and my husband is 5'9.

Well I think they are pretty much in the same percentile although her head size is in the 60th percentile lol

That's perfectly normal as long as her height and weight are around the same percentile. Its not normal to have a child that age that's like 5% for weight and 50% for height

My daughters two n only weighs 22 pounds and is 32 inches. That puts her below 5th for get weight n between 5 n 10 for her height. She just out grew 12 month clothes n still fits in small onsies. So for me it is normal. I'm pretty thin n I'm 5'4 so she takes after me. Ur daughter could just not have hit the right growth spurt yet
