Will your pup do okay on adult food, probably, but I wouldn't do it, I'd wait till at least 6 months before I feed adult food. If you give them both puppy food, you're adult might put on a little weight. I'd probably give both the puppy food because the puppy is the one that has great nutrition needs at this time.
By the way, it's generally advisable to get a vet check within days of bringing home a new puppy, hopefully they are both doing well.
