what does '93rd percentile' mean?

does this mean my kid's a tank? It was across the board, but I'm not sure if this is good or not.

    Exactly, means she is bigger than 93% of the other babies her age.

    We're at the opposite end. Natalie is in the 12th percentile. But she's doing well because when she was born she was in the 5th.

    DS is a big boy, too. 90th percentile in weight, height, and head. The doctor said they're not concerned because he's proportional. I think that's all they use it for - monitoring.
