Has he always been on the 9th centile Xmas. If he has, it's absolutely nothing to worry about Smile

If you google boys growth chart then kids are generally expected to follow the tragection line for their percentile. So just follow the 9th percentile line to adult age and that's the best guess you're gonna get right now. He may grow a bit more or less than this but it's used as an indicator of whether a child is failing to grow the expected amount so he should generally be following this percentile now whilst he's growing. If he's dropping much below the 9th centile at any point then speak to a doctor.

Not all children follow their trajectory. My db was the second shortest child in his class in primary and the tallest by the end of secondary. Ds was also quite short as a young child and shot up after puberty. Both are very similar in build and looks (take after my grandfather) so must be something about that specific collection of genes.
