He has an appetite and eats what I would think as normal. He appears happy and normal so I wouldn't think anything was wrong but I fear I could be wrong. Are they usually this tiny?

Hello and welcome to YT! I have a little boy also and he weighs around 2.3 lbs at almost 7 months (27 weeks). From what my vet and his breeder told me this is perfectly normal. Do Lincoln's parents usually have pups on the smaller side? If so this could be entirely genetic and should cause no reason to be worried
. I actually feed my yorkie, Rasta, a little more than what's recommended (he's a pig lol) and he's stayed around the same weight (it fluctuates between 2-2.4 lb). He is just on the smaller side of the standard
. If you're really worried I would contact Lincoln's breeder or your vet....HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! :-)
