Bella followed the growth chart pretty much to the T. She was always according to the growth chart to be about 3.5-4.5 pounds. She is right on track at 4 pounds and just turned a year a few days ago. She hasn't gained an ounce in about 4 months so I can safely say she is probably done growing.
Jett is 22 weeks old this week and has been sticking pretty close to the growth chart as well. At 12 weeks he weighed 1 pound 4 ozs. (maybe) (I didn't get him until 14 weeks and was 1 pound 8 ozs then.) This morning he was 2 pounds. So I am thinking he will probably get to be 3 pounds give or take. He is a VERY VERY tiny little guy, very small features, tiny legs and head. (Bella was quite a bit sturdier in appearance. But is still pretty tiny in the scheme of things.)
Bella was one of 7 in the litter. She was the smallest female in the litter, but there were two smaller males. Bellas Mom was 6 pounds and her dad was 4. Jett was one of 2 puppies in the litter, and he was the little one, by about 1/2 a pound at 12 weeks. Jetts mom was 5 pounds and his dad was 2.5.
Congrats on your baby!! |
