Exclamation BIG baby?

I had Puddin' at the vet yesterday for a baseline check up and to get her de-fleaed. She was weighed at the time and I was astonished to see she weighs .834 kg...1lb 13.4 ounces. Isn't that a lot for a 6.5 week old Yorkie?

I've checked the growth chart, but since I don't know her birth weight and she goes off the chart for a 6 week old, I don't know if she's in the normal range or not. The vet tech didn't seem concerned, but I am!

If she is 1lb 13.4 oz at 6.5 weeks, any idea what kind of adult size she may grow to? Is there a "rule of thumb" that predicts adult sizes from baby sizes (rough estimates, of course)?

She seems so small to me, but she is only six weeks and nearly 2 lbs...that seems so BIG!
