The World Health Organization released new growth charts this year because the charts that it had been using, and the CDC had been using were outdated and offered incorrect growth patterns.
You can find the updated growth charts on the WHO website as well as a press release outlining why the old charts (like those used by the CDC) were giving parents and pediatricians incorrect information recommending supplementation for breastfed babies without necessity.
Of course, take growth charts with a grain of salt. Don't worry if your baby is either low or high on the charts, as long as your baby is gaining steadily and maintaing the same curve wether it's 10% or 95%.

Just get one from your pediatrician the next checkup. My children's doctor gives me one after every checkup so I can see the growth or to put in a scrap book or whatever.
