Did you keep a record of weight the first year?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

sweetr72 · 10-12-2007, 07:46 PM

Well..I didnt lol...Reece is 15 months old and when I weighed him tonight he was 5.6 pounds...Soleil is 5 months old and weighs 4.8 pounds!! She seems soooooo much smaller than Reece does..which is strange as their are not that far apart in weight..and now I am curious as to what he wieghed at that age and regret not keeping track..I forget when do they stop growing...or hit their plateau? Reece has been in the 5 pound area for sooo long I cant remember him weighing less..

Thanks,
Dawn

I didn't.

I started out planning to and even made a spread sheet but Slade is 9 mnths old and only has about 3 weights recorded!

sweetr72 · 10-12-2007, 08:10 PM

Well a fine pair we are lol...I am hoping someone did so I can see how their weight progressed the first year and when it started to slow down and plateau..just so curious!!

SladesMommy · 10-12-2007, 08:15 PM

I know! I had good intentions, i just got busy!

I did weigh Slade every wk or two and even though he is a mix he seemed to match up with the yorkie weight chart listed here.

Ok....I did...I have recorded in my lil one's scrapbook her measurements, weight and etc...for each month since I have had her....I got her at 2.5 months old and she is now 8 mths old....when I first got her she was 2.5 lbs and now she is about 6 lbs....I also have 8 of her baby teeth that have fallen out...clippings from her first haircut and her first toy that she chewed apart.....I know I go overboard in obsessing with my lil one, but I figure...what the heck...it only happens once.......

I wrote it down in the beggining when they were still growing but now i havent in a while. London will get weighed tommorrow. I think she is 2.5 lbs but im sure im prob. wrong, im just guessing. She started out 1.2 lbs at 10 weeks old. By 5 months old she hadn't grown much and was 1 lb 4 oz. At 8 months she was i think 1.5 lbs. At 10 months i think she hit 2 lbs and now at a year i think she's 2.5 lbs.

Teddy started out at 1 lb 10 oz at 10 weeks old. He grew fast, by 12 weeks he was like 2 lbs. By 5 months he was like 4 lbs and now at a year and 3 months he is 8 lbs.

I got Sophie at 6 months old and she was 3 lbs. She really hasn't gained much weight, just gotten a little bit longer so im guessing she is about 3.5 lbs. She is 9 months old now btw. I'm going to check at the vet tommorrow also for her.

I wish I would have, but I didn't think of it.

I did sort of with my two too...

Emma:
8 weeks-2.2 lbs
10 weeks-2.6 lbs
13 weeks-3 lbs (plus some ounces)
5 months-4.5 lbs
6.5 months-5 lbs
8 months-5.5 lbs
12 months-7.2 lbs (she was porky!)
15 months-6.5 lbs (perfect!)
18 months (last week)-6.0 lbs (too skinny?)

Milli:
11 weeks-3.4 lbs (she was pretty rolly-polly!)
12 weeks-3.2 lbs
15 weeks-3.1 lbs
18 weeks-3.0 lbs
5.5 months-3.5 lbs
7 months-3.9 lbs
10.5 months(yesterday)-4 lbs!!!

We joke that Emma is the "value size" with 33% more yorkie to love!

That's bizarre that Milli actually LOST weight from 11 weeks to 18 weeks...never heard of that! And for her to be only .6 lbs more at almost a year than she was at 11 weeks....WEIRD! That's kind of neat though...I guess you never know with these little furballs what they'll do!
