Are Spanish babies smaller than average?

I only ask as since birth everyone has remarked how enormous Charlie is, from the very moment he was born actually! the Dr's first words were "que grande!". The thing is he was distinctly average, 3.5 kilos and 53 cms. The cleaners and the nurses on our ward all said the same and the comments haven't stopped since. I have English friends whose babies are just as big and even bigger and I actually think he is quite small in the sense he has a little face and very compact body. Is it perhaps because Spanish babies are very small??
