Adding to the list of moms with small toddlers:  two of my daughters were just 22 lbs. at 2 years.  My oldest daughter (10) is now in about the 25 percentile on the charts.  My 5 yr. old is probably on the bottom line (5th %?) but continues to grow steadily each year.  My 7 yr. old is following the same curve as her younger sister.  She fell off the curve at 18 mos. (gained hardly anything from 12 to 18 mos.) but then seemed to have a spurt to put her back into her regular pattern by 2 and a half.  (And she accepted many more foods than her siblings did at this age.)

I mark my kids' heights on a doorway, and it is interesting to see that my younger two girls are consistently a year behind their older sister. That is, where they measure at five, she was that height at four.

My youngest, my son, who will turn two next week, is bigger and heavier than his sisters and yet eats very little and just still mostly nurses all the time.
