We just went to the doctor today for Caleb's first checkup and things are looking good!
Height: 20-3/4" (80%)
Weight: 9 lb. 15 oz. (97%)
Head: 37.2 cm. (85%)
He is a hefty kid. The doctor and nurse kept wanting to double check the weight measurement because he has gained over a pound (averaging 3 ounces a day) since our hospital discharge six days ago. I was wondering what to do about him spitting up so much and the doctor suggested it might be because he is overeating. Maybe I will feed him a little less.

Bring on the steak, I say.
I am glad that he is happy and healthy and congrats on the baby! I love the name :)
I had the same problem with Joshua overeating, although he only gained about 2 oz a day. They were shocked that he had actually gained weight (instead of having lost it like usual) by the time he was 2 days old. It's so hard to tell when a newborn is full or just wants to suck more. Good luck! Aren't chuncky babies the cutest though!
