Normal.
First 15 days, child loses weight then to regain birth weight. So if it is 3.15 at 15 days of life.
Child gains around 30gm/day so in next 45 days it increases to 1400gm (exact 1350gm), so at 2 months it will be 4.5 kg and your child is having 4.7 kg. So very good.
Continue the same efforts.

By and large babies put on approximately one kg per month. Roughly your babies weight should have been 5 kg.
