Brief Answer:
Slightly shorter

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone through your query and have checked the attached image. The columella of your child nose is slightly shorter than average but I see no cause of concern in this.

sorry for insisting but i'm a little anxious.
do you really think it's just a slightly short? when I see other babies' noses, I think my son's is so different.
I am not discrediting your assessment. Please do not misunderstand me. I would love if you could tell me a little more about your experience with similar cases.
Do you think it will have a good ratio between the columella and the other structures of the nose? I ask that, because I currently find his columella disproportionate. So I wonder if the nose structures grow at the same rate, so the columella will remain short.
I know that columella will not impair the functions of the nose. My question is about the shape of the nose itself.
I hope you understand my concerns.
Thanks for your patience.

Brief Answer:
There is no cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Pardon me for the inadvertent delay in responding. Thanks for providing multiple images. The shortness of columella is nominal to none but it is not dispoportionate. So, there is nothing to worry about. The shape of nose varies from person to person and this is just an individual variation. Numerous other babies have such noses. The shape can also vary as growth occurs. No functional impairment is likely.
