Emma Girl is 4 Months Old

Our little (big) girl is 4 months old!!
We had her 4 month appointment last week and she's weighing in at a whopping 16lbs 11oz and 24 1/2" long which means 
she's short and chubby. 

Her rolls have rolls. 
Either she's already starting to sit up on her own or her belly is so big when it rests on her thighs it keeps her upright. 
She's also rolling from front to back and back to front.
And she's reaching for any toy to shove into her mouth hoping milk will come out of it.  
 She's still all smiles!  

I know I say this all the time but I couldn't be more serious.  During this little photo shoot I took 15 photos total and in 11 of them she's got a grin from ear to ear. 

She's also a little chatterbox.  She doesn't stop laughing and talking. She'll talk/screech to anything, mostly to Murphy though who looks at her wags his tail.  

He has no idea that in just a short couple of years she's going to dress him up in all her millions of bow that I'm hoarding and try to ride him around the house like a horse.
Poor Murph.
 She loves when you sing anything, even when Chris sings her the very popular children's tune "Twinkle-twinkle-3-blind-mice" song. 
Oh you've never heard of it...weird.

She's FINALLY sleeping longer then 1 1/2 at a time at night.  I started to put her to sleep on her belly and like a miracle she sleeps from 7:30pm until 2:30am (eats) then 
until 6:30am which I'll take.  
She's going to be my little wild child for sure though, I can see it already, we're in for it.   
We're still going strong breast feeding and it's working so well, she's growing fatter and fatter by the day. It wasn't an easy road to get here but we made it and it's awesome to be able to do this for her and myself.  

And in case you haven't noticed, still no hair. You're going to start seeing me wandering the streets with oversized hot pink polka dot bows in my hair soon.
