Brief Answer:
it is below normal range

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
1. Both height and weight are below the normal range. To be specific they are below 5th percentile.
Your baby definitely needs a complete medical examination to rule out vitamin mineral or protein deficiency. I usually prescribe vitamins and iron supplements after examining.
Walking may take upto 15 months, no need to worry on that.
But for her current growth parameters she definitely needs a thorough checkup and supplements as required.
Wishing your child good health.
