More: Apollo vs. Rose (growth stats)

 I've read that you should never compare one child with the other. But I'm a little but of a data nerd, so I pulled out Rose's old growth stats to compare hers with Apollo's. For the record, I'm not comparing to say one is better or worse than the other, but I'm just curious and also pretty fascinated by individual differences! :)

note that percentiles are different for boys vs. girls
