My new JRT, Charlie

I just got a 12 week old JRT yesterday. His owner said he was eating some food called "Royal" something. When I went to the pet store they recommended "Wellness" puppy food and were told to try to split up his recommended amount of food into 3 meals. His first meal was last night and he ate about 4 pieces. This morning we gave him back the food, and he ate about a quarter of what was left. This afternoon he ate a little more of what was left and after I came home from work, I saw that his ORIGNIAL bowl of food was about half empty. The woman at the pet store said dogs wont starve himself, but I still have to worry, I'm a new JRT owner! I think he may be too excited about exploring our house and the 4 people who live in it (not including all his visitors who wanted to meet him) but I wanted to make sure. By the way, we also put a little water on the food and microwaved it for 10 seconds to make it smell stronger and more attractive to him. Should I be worried??
