Measurements normal except femurs?

My baby was >97% in everything but femurs. He came out perfectly proportionate. I think the bigger the baby gets, the harder it is to make those measurements. He doesn’t look weird if his femurs are indeed smaller. 🤷🏻♀️ He was also born at 22” and is 2.5 feet long at 8m.
Measurements can be off and so can weight. My daughters head circumference at one point was less than the first percentile. My ultrasound tech had to check this chart and she said its actually fine. She said that the way baby was laying she wasn't actually able to get full visual of the head to measure right. She was born with her head circumference in the 19th percentile and she's 1yo and her head is completely normal. It was so scary though because my sons head above the 100th percentile, so when I was told it was <1% for my daughter I thought she had microcephaly. So honestly don't worry until your doctors donlol
My nephew had this and they kept saying it's a sign he could have down syndrome as they can have short femers (she didnt have the test for down syndrome). He was born totally fine and without down syndrome he is still at 5 just very short. My 1 year old goes to his shoulders.
Also just for a little more perspective, my dad and sister are both short-around 5’5 but I’m 5’6 and my husband is about 6 foot. 🤷♀️
