The Kid is All Right

A very positive four week checkup for Chase.
He's been eating a lot since his weigh-in two weeks ago. He now tips the scales at 8 pounds 12 ounces, gaining an astonishing 24 ounces in just two weeks.
That means he no longer needs formula supplements and he can sleep through the night if he wants (but Mrs. Poop will probably continue to wake him for one nighttime feeding, at least for the time being).
The doctor said it's normal for Chase to be wide awake during the evenings (which he has been), eating every hour sometimes between 6 and 9.
He's 22 inches tall, grown 2 inches since birth.
He has a clogged tear duct (the medical term for that is "eye goopies") which is unsightly, but not a major problem at this point, time should heal it.
We don't need to go back to the doctor for another month.
