Nickname Correction

I had previously stated that I might start calling Caleb Chubbo. However, Mom has reminded me that we had decided to call Caleb Gordo in honor of his Latin roots here in Miami. So that shall be one of his official nicknames.

Speaking of Caleb's weight, Mom went to a nursing support group today at the hospital. She was able to weigh Caleb and found out he now weighs 10lb 1 oz. So Caleb has broken the double digit barrier. It also means he has gained four pounds since we brought him home.

Caleb made his official debut at church tonight. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures of the momentous occasion. Caleb was a big hit with everyone. It was also Mom's first time back at church since back in March, so she was glad to get back and everyone was glad to see her. But Caleb was far more interesting. He drew a crowd all evening. It was really fun to be able to show him off. It's going to be a real bummer when the newness wears off and noone coos over him anymore. However, we will be able to draw it out. We aren't passing him around until he has had shots, so once we allow other people to hold him, we'll get to go through the excitement all over again.

If we are not passing him around you'd better make sure he gets his shots by this time next week. We are pumped to come down there!
