Charlie had his first doctor visit on Tuesday. He's already back up to his birth weight. Seems he's going to be a big boy. Otherwise, everything was fine. Turns out, he does not have a "bucket head" after all-- taking after neither his father nor his maternal grandfather (this was a source of great debate). His head is "just right" -- at the 50th percentile. Weight and length are at the 75th percentile.
On Wednesday we made our first trip out to the store. Charlie did a little shopping with his Mom and Grandma K. I got worn out fast. Since I can't drive yet, Charlie's Grandma had to do the driving.
Life is settling down to a routine at home. With the help of the lactation consultant at our pediatrician's office, we were able to get the little guy started latching on (finally!) Now we're adapting to that new schedule and process of feeding.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and posts on our blog. We're glad everyone is enjoying the website. For those folks in Cincinnati, please let us know if you'd like to stop in for a live visit.

Yeah! COngratulations on getting him latched on. That's a huge accomplishment. Everything will be exhausting for a while so take it easy. Tell John you are not allowed to cook, clean, shop, do laundry or yardwork until at least August. Healing takes time...tee hee. Thanks for keeping us updated. It's great to see and hear how everyone is doing. We'll come by to see you soon.
