Koreans are actually known to have big heads. It is considered a huge compliment in Asian culture if you have a small face. Alas I have a big head.
Luckily Charlie and Olive are only half Korean, so they didn't end up with the big head gene. Both have heads under the 50th percentile.
Does your LO have a big noggin?

When she was born in looked like she had a big head but I think now it's normal-sized. My brother has a big head and all the boys on my dad's side (cousins, uncles) have big heads. We call the "giant Kwon head".

YES, so big. For height and weight he tends to be around the 50th percentile but his head is up there at like 80. No wonder I needed an episiotomy LOL

Hahah I think so. She's in the 50-75th % for head circumference

Measured above 95th percentile in utero, at birth, and all the way until they stopped measuring at the 2 year well child visit.
He's got a huge head. People call him Lego Man.

Hah, that depends who you ask. According to our Ped, its average... but a random stranger in the grocery store was in shock over her supposedly enormous head.

Not any more. I used to think it was big but the pediatrician told us otherwise according to the stats.

Oh yeah, my LO had a 17 inch head at her 3 month appointment! I wonder how it will measure at our 6 month appointment tomorrow!

She is a pea head. Her head size is only in the 15th percentile right now.
Strange, because my head is HHUUGGEEEEE

DS has a super big head! When he was still cooking, his head always measured 2-3 weeks ahead; and part of the reason my labor/delivery was so long is because of his massive noggin!
Now, he pretty consistently measures around 85th percentile for head size.
