Caleb is getting bigger and bigger every day!! At birth, he was 7 pounds 6.3 ounces, which was about a pound lighter than I expected. When we left the hospital two days after his birth, he was at 6 pounds 13 ounces. We had a visit from the home nurse the following day and he was up to 7 pounds. At his first doctor's visit (at 4 days old), he was back up to 7 pounds 3 ounces. I went back last week when he was two weeks old and he was up to 8 pounds 5 ounces!! We weighed him on the home scale this week and now guess he is probably between 9 and 9 1/2 pounds!! He is really filling out and already he is looking less like a newborn :-( We are having a lot of fun with him, despite our lack of sleep due to his erratic sleep schedule. Right now, Caleb's day consists mostly of eating (a LOT!), sleeping, and diaper changes. He is alert for longer periods of time now and it's fun to watch him take everything in!! He is working really hard on holding his head steady and enjoys tummy time. Here are a couple pictures to show how much he's grown already!!

so happy to catch up on Caleb!! Totally agree with your comments about how it seems 4 times as busy with the 2 of them!! I felt like the first few months were just survival... i don't think i did anything but hold Jack and Andrew and feed them (Jack cried a lot too)! Now it is calmer... glad that Chloe goes to preschool to give you some one on one time! Sometimes i wish i had more of that with Jack! Looking forward to seeing you guys soon!!
