One Man and Three Little Ladies: At 4 Months...

Warning: This blog is full of pics and videos!

Emilyn is now 4 months old...can you believe it?!! I know I certainly can't. It seems like only a month ago I could barely make the walk to our local coffee shop, only to have J.D. walk home and drive to pick me up because my stomach was so HUGE. Now, we make that walk all the time (almost 2 miles), and last weekend we did a five mile walk.

At four months Emilyn has really started coming to "life." That sounds silly, because of course she's alive, but she is now babbling up a storm, rolling over, playing with more toys, trying to eat everything, teething, and so much more! I'm fairly certain she's going to be quite a talker...and a bit of a spitfire like her mama was...and her daddy (on the talking front).

Emi is the sweetest little baby. She has been sleeping through the night since seven weeks, and continues to be a rockstar in that area. Now, we are either awoken by babbling or big smiles. Waking up in the morning to her little noises is one of the best gifts. She also smiles at practically everyone. If you catch her eyes and she focuses on your face, she's bound to give you a huge grin. Emi loves to bounce and sing, and the Maroon 5/Gym Class Heroes song, "Stereo Hearts," has become our song! (JUST the chorus) It's quite humorous...I had the song stuck in my head and was singing it one day, and she started smiling. After really thinking about the words in the chorus, I decided it was a really sweet little "lullaby" and now, when she's crying, if I start singing the chorus she calms down pretty quick! (If you don't know the song, google the lyrics...and look at the chorus.)

We also had her four month check-up. She is now 14.1 lbs and 24.4 inches which puts her in the 60% for weight and 55% for height. (And her head is 43%) :) She's our perfectly average little love bug! Her kidney reflux is well under control with her daily antibiotic, but is causing some serious skin issues, so we now have some prescriptions for yeast and eczema that we have to use. She has very sensitive skin, and with the antibiotic cutting back some of her bad and good bacteria it makes her more susceptible for these things. BUT, because of her super sensitive, pale skin, her little cheeks are so adorable and rosy! She always seems to be perfectly flushed. Her eyes are getting bluer and bluer, so they are a total combination of J.D. and me. His shape, my color.

I hope you enjoy all the videos and pictures! We LOVE being parents, and feel so so so blessed by our little nugget! Some of them have no sound due to some technical errors, but they are still cute!
