Just wanted to let everyone know that yesterday Sadie was seen at the Child Development Clinic at our Children's Hospital. The doctors are there to evaluate all areas of development, including speech, mental, and physical. It can be up to a 9-month wait, just to get in. We were able to get in after 3 months. The doctor was very informative and helpful and completed a physical exam as well as some other developmental stuff. He feels like Sadie is 100% normal brain functioning wise. He thinks that she could mentally do the things she is lacking (crawling, pulling herself up, walking etc) but that her little body is holding her back. He thinks that something is going on with metabolism/digestion that she is still so small. (She's still just over 14 lbs.) We are starting to gain weight, after switching to formula, but it seems something else is still going on. She has an appointment with GI next week; the doctor in the developmental clinic believes they will be very helpful in identifying why she isn't gaining weight and how to get her to do it. After she gains the weight, he feels that she will catch up on her own. I guess that's all good news, but still frustrating too!
Thanks for your love, support, and prayers!

I'm glad to hear things seem to be better than first thought. We will continue to pray for her health and full development because she is just too cute!
