I searched on google it is showing that craniosynostosis...is he really having this disease...n because of this his height is not increasing....he is active...he walks .. he speaks some words...
Hello...yes it could be craniosynostosis leading to microcephaly. This baby needs to be thoroughly examined for his growth and development and will also need some investigations to guide further course of treatment and his prognosis.

Looks like bicoronal craniosynostosis, a consultation with a pediatric Neurosurgeon will be helpful.
And to rule out any metabolic disorders (as you suggested height is an issue) consult pediatrician)
Bicoronal craniosynostosis has little or no bearing over brain functions generally as it is nonsyndromic type of craniosynostosis.
