She is doing everything she is supposed to be doing including rolling on her tummy, holding things and trying to eat them, holding her own bottle and if she drops it in her lap she picks it up and puts it back in her mouth.
She smiles, laughs, watches me, tries to hide when I tell her I can see her, squeals and makes different sounds, sleeps mostly all night and has naps during the day, tries to grab everything I have, is shy with strangers, grabs our faces and hair, reaches out to be picked up, loves her bath and kicks the water, kicks her music kick play center. So am I right not to worry to much about the head circumference thing?

I don't understand.... Is the size of her head considered below average? You fail to explain this.
I'd say, if the pediatrician says she's fine, don't worry.

My daughters head circumference was in the 10th percentile until she turned one, and my friends daughter, whose the same age, had a head corcumference in the 97th percentile. Both met their milestones although my friends baby did have a CAT scan to make sure there were no problems. Your doctor will tell you if he/she is concerned. You didn't say how old your baby was, but her skills look to be around the 5 month level, so if she's around that age she's doing well.

She seems to be developping normally, unless you think she has a big head, I really don't think there's anything to worry about. She will even out eventually, plus babies take a while to "grow into their heads"/
