Yep it definitely would.
Looking at my DD you've never even know how heavy she is, but she went from 15kg and just a touch under 106cm at 2 to 20kg and 120cm at 4. You can see her ribs and spine, but she eats as much as me and never stops moving lol.
Wow 120cm at 4! Yeah taller kids do look thinner. DD1 is 112cm and 17kg and she is slim and can look skinny at times. DD2 is much more compact although I am betting that shw will have gained less than 1kg from 1y - 2y. She was 11.2 at 1, 11.6 at 18m and I'm sure is is only just tipping 12kg now although she has rolls of chubba
All my Ds's have had a plateau in weight and height after 18mths-2 years old.
Ds1 is 4.5 years old and weighs 17kg; at 2 years old he weighed around 14-15kg so thats only 2-3kg in 2 years. His height increased a bit more than his weight from about 87cm at 2 years old to 110cm at 4 years old, but still only about 15-20cm in 2 years.
He's quite a tall and skinny thing with no baby chub left. People often mistake him for an older kid or assume he doesnt eat (and he does - ALOT!). Considering my Dh is 6ft tall and skinny Im not surprised Ds1 is like that.
