Short baby not growing?!

This may seem ridiculous but my 6.5 month old is growing on his curves for head and weight (75% for head, 30% weight) but his length seems to have stagnated. I know it’s flawed as it’s only me that’s measuring him at home but both me and my husband measured him and both got the same. He’s sitting below the 9th %. I’m 38% and my husband, at 6’2, is the 97th%. Why is my son so short?! Will he ever get taller? Surely he should be nearer the 50th percentile?
Am I being stupid or is this something to keep an eye on?
