It’s not a race at all but I can’t help comparing Ellie and Mark’s growth rates.

Ellie at 2 months:  14 pounds, 2 ounces (early December, 2010)

Mark at 2 months: 14 pounds, 11 ounces (early March, 2013)

Here’s what’s crazy about this:  Ellie started out two pounds and five ounces lighter than Mark.  That means that although Mark has been growing at a really nice pace, Ellie gained almost two pounds more than he did in the same  time frame.   I knew she had gotten fat incredibly quickly and now here’s the proof!
