Question growth has slowed down/stopped?

Sadie has slowed down alot on her growing since she turned 5 months... (she is now 7 months) and it doesn't look as if she has grown at all. Last time I measured her at her shoulders she was 23 inches.. and she is still the same height. Is this normal? Will she most likely have a groth spirt soon or later? Both her parents are very large GSD's especially the father and she seems to take after her father. please let me know what ya think! Thanks alot!

Many times while teething pups don't have the huge growth spurts. Then they have one shortly after(7-8 mos) and grow til a year, taper off til they fill out. My 2 yr old still hasn't filled out. But genetically I don't expect him to be physically or mentally mature til 3.
