Caleb's Stats

I'll have to go back and dig out the old height/weight stats (but they're not that extensive, as DrSmith doesn't measure height and is only worried about getting a rough weight).

Rights now, Caleb is 32 3/4 inches tall and about 25 or 26 lbs. He's quite a string bean.

He has lots of teeth: 6 on top (with some more coming through) and six on bottom.

Not a whole lot of hair - I have still only had to trim the back at the bottom where it starts to get kind of long so he doesn't get a mullet.

Stuff Caleb Eats

Favourites foods include cheese(!), toast with cream cheese, banana, sliced turkey, grapes, pears, blueberries, pasta (sometimes), parmesan sprinkled on anything, cheese bun from Hot Oven.

He used to love cheerios, but now they're more hit and miss. He sometimes likes chicken and other cooked veggies.

He doesn't like anything too hot (ie, vaguely warm to the touch).

He likes to dip (in ketchup, hummus or guacamole). He used to like yogurt but now thinks it's too sour.

He likes to use his own fork to stab things on the tray and feed himself.
