Hi Gina...
Devon only weighed 15 pounds at 1 year...however...he's since grown quite a
bit! He has "caught up" so to speak. At 2 yrs he weighed 25 pounds...at 3
yrs he weighed 35 pounds and now at 6 yrs he weighs 45 pounds and is around
43" tall (possibly a little taller now???). All of our triers grow at their
own rate...some better than others. Taylor weighs more than Devon did at a
year. Unless he is suffering from it...if it were me...I wouldn't worry too
much. Even though Devon was small at a year...he was proportioned just
fine....in other words he did not look scrawny or too skinny...he was
shorter and weighed less but looked fine.  His growth has improved so much
that it hasn't been an issue in a very long time...and it really wasn't an
issue even when he was small as a baby.
