Caleb and Mom both survived their first full week on their own. In fact, both seem to be doing quite well. Caleb visited his pediatrician this morning and the report from the doctor is that he is doing very well. He now weighs 8lb 2 oz which means he has gained over two pounds since we brought him home.
When Mom first got up this morning, she found that Caleb had completely wiggled his legs out of his blanket. Of course, that has nothing to do with the fact that Dad swaddled him at 3:00 AM and was thus half asleep when he swaddled him.
For his appointment with the doctor Mom dressed Caleb in his dinosaur overalls. These are sized "Newborn" and despite the fact that he is gaining weight so quickly right now, the overalls swallow him up and his feet barely stick out the end of the legs.
After the appointment, Mom went in to her office because school was out. Mom left Caleb in his carrier while she did a little bit of work and got some files to bring home. This is the first of what will be many days that Caleb will spend with Mom at work.
After such a busy day, Caleb and Dad spend some time together while Mom eats her dinner.
To close out the day, Mom, Dad and Caleb went to Wall's for some ice cream. For the first time, Caleb got to get out of the car at Wall's. Dad and Caleb sat at a table outside while Mom went in to get the ice cream. Caleb was awake most of the time we were at Walls and seemed pretty content to just hang out in his carrier. Except for rare circumstances, Caleb seems to like his carrier pretty well. We didn't get a picture of Caleb's first visit to Wall's however because the camera did not get into the diaper bag.
