Acromioclavicular Separation

Matt went snowboarding for the first time in 3.5 years-ish, and of course, he ended up in the emergency room, thinking he dislocated his shoulder. After waiting for 4-5 hours and changing 4 of Scott's diapers, we found out that his shoulder isn't technically dislocated, and that a ligament had actually torn, separating his clavicle (collarbone) from his scapula (shoulder blade), also known as acromioclavicular (or AC) separation. So, Matt is literally in for a world of hurt over the next 6-8 weeks while it heals. We're planning on going to an orthopaedic surgeon this week to find out if he needs surgery. Oh the joys. Here's a video to show you his shoulder (he didn't want me to show his face):

Peek-a-boo

I have done peek-a-boo a lot with Scott, but last night was the first time he thought it was funny. Enjoy :)

Waking up is hard to do

The second video is a little long. I always have a hard time watching long videos of babies that aren't mine, so I won't be hurt if you don't watch the whole thing :)

4 month stats

height: 23.5 inches = 5th percentile

weight: 13lbs 5oz = 25th percentile

head: 44cm = 90th percentile

that's why he's so cute! his head is huge!

Little Photoshoot

I realized that I wasn't in my Facebook Profile Picture anymore, so I asked Matt to take a few of me AND Scott, and here's what we got...

Ah Sleep

This post is in honor of a good night's sleep. I went to bed at 11:45pm and did not awake until 7:29am. Scott has been sleeping well for a few weeks, but almost 8 hours is his record. YESSS!

And here are some pictures:

Scott, lounging in front of the TV. I know, I'm a horrible parent.

And I finished the sweater! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I MADE THAT! The sleeves are a little long right now, but I think it will fit him through the winter. YAY!

Three Months Old!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's surprising how little I seem to get done in such a large amount of time. Ah well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We didn't bring our camera with us to Utah for Christmas, so the following still shots are from my dad. This is one from Scott's baby blessing. Thanks to Cort and Tammi for the outfit--it was very cute. I think my face says it all in this photo. This was a stressful event for me. My niece was baptized at 6pm, and then Scott, and my other niece, Elizabeth, were blessed afterward. I was the chorister at the baptism and I was doing a musical number with my sisters for which we did not practice even once. Well, I missed the opening song because I was feeding Scott. He did pretty well for most of the baptism--happy in Aunt Hannah's arms. I tried so hard to make sure Scott would be happy during his blessing so he wouldn't cry. He is usually such a good baby--all smiles--except when he's either really hungry or tired. Well, by the time the baptism was over, he was fussy because he was tired, and he got freaked out when he saw all of those men in the circle looking down at him. Oh well. The ordinance was still performed and that's what matters. And I was glad that most of Matt's family and almost everyone from my family was there. You just can't have everything, I suppose.

This is how I spent most of Christmas break--talking to Scott. His shirt says, "Mommy's little deer" and it has a reindeer on it. Cute, eh?

These were Scott's Christmas Eve pajamas from Aunt Maurine. They were very slimming :)

Here's a video! Matt and I used our American Express points to purchase a Flip Video Camera. That is part of the reason we didn't take the regular camera with us. We are not used to being specific about cameras when we're packing... Oh well. Luckily, there were other cameras at Christmas, and we aren't completely without visual documentation of Scott's first Christmas.

This is exciting because Scott can hold his head up really well now and it's fun to watch him bobble :) He does smile and "talk" to us a lot, too, but he usually gets very distracted by the camera, so it's harder to catch that.

Hope you had a great Christmas and that your New Year will be full of love and laughter.
