Hi I was looking back at my records and my little girl weighed 2 lbs at 12 1/2 weeks. She is now almost 1 year, on the 3rd of Aug. and she weighs 4 1/2 lbs. So she is a little over double what she was at 12 weeks. The charts showed her adult weight to be 3 1/2 lbs, I am so glad that she is bigger than they said. She scared me when she was smaller, she hurt herself just going down her little stairs to get on and off the couch. She will come up the stairs now but still won't go down, I'm sure she is afraid of getting hurt on them again. But the bad thing is that she jumps like a deer, off and on the couch and will not use the stairs at all. She only uses the stairs to get onto the bed but will wait until I come to get her down. I would think that if your baby is anything like mine he might double in size. Almost forgot my baby stopped growing at about 8 months. I think she might gain a little weight still but I think her height and length will stay the same. I also have a 10 lbs maltese boy and I think he is a little safer than my baby girl is, I'm always afraid she will get stepped on. So I think you might be happy with a little bit bigger baby. |
