The full percentile table and chart (birth to 20 years, WHO + CDC), P3 through P97, for boys.

Birth to 24 months uses the WHO 2006 standards; 2 to 20 years uses the CDC 2000 charts. The two reference different populations, so the lines have a small, real jump right at the 24-month mark (visible in the table below) -- a known, published feature of combining them, not an error in this chart.
