Scarlett 16 weeks

Scarlett 16 weeks!

Scarlett turned 16 wks last Sunday! We feel like we have our bearings and that Scarlett is quite a cute little lady with a big personality :)  Thankfully our sleepless nights are few and far between since she is sleeping around 12 hours on most nights: 7pm- 6:30am! Scarlett's newest and most "interesting" skill is her constant grunting when she wants something. We are hoping this stage passes quickly! ha.

At her 4 month check up today she measured 26 inches (97%) and weighed in at 14.1 lbs (67%).  We also meet with her Orthopedic Surgeon next Friday for the 3 month hip re-check next. We will know whether or not the Pavlik Harness was a success. If not, we move on to a plastic and more restrictive harness.  :(
 Say some prayers that this little hippies are better!

The countdown has begun-- we leave for Hawaii in less than a month! How much baby gear will one family have to travel with?! That is the question!  Another major milestone-- we are leaving Scarlett over night this weekend as we head to our friend Kate's wedding. Peg and Cliff are brave enough to take on a full 24 hours with S while Jeremy and I go and celebrate in Palo Alto.

Our 108 and 102 degree days were brutal this week. We hibernated inside during the days and luckily had P & C's pool to cool off in in the evenings! Check out our swim time and some other cute pics below.

Hi all! Long time no blog! :)
Today Scarlett is 3 months (13 weeks) and she is getting cuter and cuter!

Scarlett at 3 months

We just returned from a great 5 day weekend in OC for my cousin Alina's wedding- it was a BLAST! Congrats to Alina and Greg! We are off to Santa Barbara for my other cousin Jayme's wedding in two weeks. Looking forward to another few days with the Huefner clan!


Exciting news-- we just booked our vacation to Kona, Hawaii for 10 nights at the end of Sept- beginning of October with our great friends Kennon, Morgan, and their newest little girl, Harper (who is 3 weeks younger than S). It will be my last hurrah since I return to work in mid-October. Cannot wait to relax with the Fleischmanns and the 2 babes!

Scarlett's latest stats were: at her 8 wk appt she weighed in at 12.2 lbs (76%) and 23.75 inches (90%) and she got her first set of vaccines (24 hours of misery for all 3 of us!). We have her 16 week appt in 3 weeks for her next set of shots and weigh in. She has DEFINITELY put on some more lbs!

Last Friday, we had our 6 wk follow-up appt with the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon.  Scarlett's right hip (the "good" one) has improved....unfortunately the left hip (which is 75% dislocated) has not. We are going to continue with the pavlik harness for another 6 weeks and re-sonogram her again mid-September. Then, if the hip has not fully improved, we will take a 2 week break while we are on vacation, and come back to have her fitted in a more restrictive plastic harness for another 3 months.  We are trying to avoid hip surgery! Please keep those prayers coming that these harnesses do their job!

A few other exciting things-- Scarlett finally met her Uncle CoCo (Cody) after he returned last week from 3 months in Europe. She loves her CoCo already. Scarlett and I also made the trip to Tahoe (Garnderville) to visit Allie and her two kiddos a few weeks ago. Needless to say, Liam is in love with Scarlett so the "arranged" marriage will work out perfectly :)

Scarlett is now obsessed with her hands (there aren't many photos of her without them in her mouth! haha.), loves pulling her mommy's hair, and now grabs and reaches for her toys.
Here are some recent photos of little S~

Scarlett's FAVORITE place in the house

Always happy with "Paci" and "Owlie"

Already a Giants fan!

As Cliffy "Bop" says, "She's wide eyed and blue eyed!"

Such a big girl sitting in her BebePod

Happy Summer!
Love, The Kings
