Is this a normal amount of growth for my new peony bulb? It's been this size for a month now

Oh man two years? But I want a peony NOW!
Alright that’s disappointing but I guess it’s worth the wait. Thanks the the tips
It is worth the wait. Ours didn't start blooming for about 3 years, but now it is amazingly beautiful and had been going strong for 12 years now.
I had one I planted not come up the first year.
The second year it sent up a small shoot.
The third year it sent up 4 shoots but 3 of them were smashed by my older sons basketball.
The 4th year it grew 5 shoots.
It finally bloomed for the first time on the firth year
6 years later it's a large bush with tons of flowers.
I know!! But yes, worth the wait. If you are in the US, you may be able to snag some tail-end season peonies from your local farmers or Trader Joe’s. Or order some from Alaska! I like Scenic Place Peonies for cuts :)
