Babies head circumference increasing percentiles

My Boy was born with a head circumference of 50 percentile and now at 17 weeks it is in the 90+ percentile. His pediatrician said it's fine, but I of course am worried something is being overlooked.

He does have a very big head as does his father, but my worry is that it jumped percentiles quite quickly. I've also now noticed some veins and the gap in the fontanelle which has me extra worried about things like Hydrocephalus.

He is pretty good milestone wise except that he still absolutely hates tummy time and has learned to roll just to avoid it.

I just wanted to know if anyone had a similar situation and it turned out to be nothing/okay...
