Since his last check, Dobby has gained more than 32 pounds and grown at least five inches.

His blood work has also returned to normal levels.

Dobby was born on Feb. 28 and, like April in New York, has become a bit of a sensation, receiving attention from around the globe.

It wasn't such a smooth start for him, though, as he was initially unable to stand and nurse on his own.
