Nah, the way we measure what normal weights in kids are is based on charts that were made from measuring many, many kids many, many years ago. There is actually a lot of people who are saying that those charts are outdated and are working on getting the data to make new charts. Basically all that means is that kids now weight a heck of a lot more than they did several decades ago.
