Your son's weight and height is in the 25 percentile for his age. He is still in the percentile ranges, which is good.

My sons weight was in the 10th percentile and I went to the doctor from the time he was 10 months old for that and his emotional coping problems. I thought they must somehow be related, but was told no. Because he didn't show classic symptoms we didn't discover his milk allergy until 5 1/2 years old! (Almost off the top off the chart in the test result).
All his blood tests are normal. He is below the 3rd percentile growth curve in height and weight. He was a vaginal delivery and not premature.

Your daughter is in the 5th percentile for her weight and height for her age so she is not 'off' the chart.

If her appetite is good and she eats her meals, then she is ok.
