Sadler went for a normally scheduled visit to Dr. Grubb, our pediatrician, yesterday. He is now 15.1 lbs and 26.5 inches tall! His weight is right on par in the 50% percentile, but in height he is around the 99% percentile! So, I guess it's official: Sadler is tall and slender! We also have permission to eat any foods he would like, which is great news considering he consumes an enormous amount of formula in a day. We are talking approximately 35-40 ounces each day, in 8 ounce bottles. He is totally normal, very healthy, and we couldn't be more pleased.
We also had a visit to the chiropractor, and it looks like our long road of corrective care is almost finished. For those of you who don't know, we have been visiting the chiropractor three times a weeks for the past two months to correct Sadler's torticollis. Chiropractic care is also helpful in cases of colic, which Sadler was experiencing as well. Dr. Smith is very gentle, and actually Sadler is happy to see him. He doesn't cry when he gets adjusted, and we are so happy that we found a solution for these little issues.
Sadler is also getting TEETH! Already!
Typically babies don't get their first tooth until 6-8 months of age, and although Sadler's teeth haven't broken through yet, he is definitely teething. He has started chewing on anything he can get his hands on, and we give him teething biscuits a couple times a day.
Our weather has been incredibly hot for here in Washington the past couple of days, but we have just been hiding from the heat. Sadler is doing just great, he really enjoys being outside in the early evenings to listen to the birds and look at the trees.
