Size of human head

I know this has been covered here before (which I can't find), as well as written in several books (which I don't seem to have). What are the general heights of human heads, from babies up through adults? Adult heads average around 9 inches high, correct? Currently I'm working on a photo of a six-year old boy, and trying to figure out the size of his head painted a little less than life-size, and hence the size of the canvas.

I've run into this question several times now, and thought it would be nice to have average head sizes listed here on the forum.

Thanks,

Holly
