Correction

On Wednesday Calvin went to his first doctor's visit. Things went really well. I thought for sure he would decide that was the perfect time to eat and scream his head off when we got there, but he was mellow, I was so glad. They weighed and measured him again and he gained back a few of the ounces he lost, and he also grew an inch and a half. He is 21 1/2 inches long. Okay, we don't really think he grew an inch and a half. They said the hospital just measures them so fast it's not always very accurate. We thought he looked longer than 20 in. He has already grown out of some of the newborn clothes and I put some socks on him where the heel only went to the middle of his foot. He must have his dad's feet.
The picture is of him in his bassinet. We placed him on his back in the sunshine to help with jaundice. He tried to get out of the sun and almost rolled over!

Can I call him 'Hobbes' instead of Calvin? As his uncle, I get the nickname naming rights, right? ;)

I think baby Calvin is already a mover and a shaker! You should train him for the Olympics or pro football. I think he's gonna be a natural.
