Default Rhododendrons slow growing?

My husband planted a small (about 8-10 inches)rhodie last April in a
woodsy spot that gets lots of morning sun, but mainly mottled sun at
best, the rest of the day. While it seems to be doing OK, nice and green
still, put out a round of new leaves, etc, it doesn't seem to be getting
any taller or much wider, for that matter. Is this typical? My guess is
that it's hopefully still busily putting down lots of nice roots, and
will start growing bigger next year, that's all it is, just a guess.

We have a lot of azaleas around the general area, which are doing great,
but this is our first experience with rhodies.
