I would say yes. My dd's have a 22 month age gap but because of their birthdays they were the year above and below each other at school. I found this a positive thing, not negative in the slightest.

I'd consider 24 months totally normal so on the small side but not unusually so.

Quite small you haven't given your body a chance to recover.
