she isn't done growing yet! Our Sophie is 6 months and just under 60 lbs. I was once told that you double the weight they are at 4 months and that should be the size they will be as adults. Welcome to the forum! Posts pics as soon as you can....

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing pics when you get them out there. Someone told me that they do not stop growing untill they are 2. I think that it is pretty close to the truth from by experience.

depends on the lines - how big were her parents?
generally they stop growing in height around 1 year of age and fill out until 18-24mts (but again, this varies depending on the lines).

Is she overweight? Can you feel her ribs?
