4 months

At four months:

Weight: 
        Percentile: %
Height:  inches
        Percentile: %
Sleep: Naps are still a struggle. She just doesn't like to sleep during the day. But she has gotten better at night and sleeps from 9 or 10 until 5 or six, eats and then goes back to sleep for a few hours most nights. It's been nice to feel so much more human. 
Clothing size: Still wearing 0-3 month clothes and size one diapers. She's still tiny.  
Milestones: Smiling more, laughing, starting to try and pick up her head when doing tummy time,
Special Outings: My sister in Law Stephanie has started to watch Emma while Colton is at work. So far it's only been for a few hours, but it's been going really good so far. We also took Emma's blessing pictures and that went good even though she stubbornly refused to wear her hat for them. 
Month Highlights: I went back to work, Emma is doing great with a bottle and sleeping better, I miss her like crazy though. 
Big Changes: Emma is the happiest kid ever now. You would never guess that she had been such a grump before this because she almost never fusses. She is doing great at taking a bottle while I'm at work which has been really nice and she is over her nursing strike now and almost never has any problems. 
Emma's Favorites: Eating anything she can get into her mouth, grabbing everything, playing with her hands, smiling at everyone. She also still loves bath time and taking showers with her mom. 

Thoughts: I can't believe how fast Emma is growing. She is such a joy now and almost always happy. She seems behind a bit on her gross motor skills to me and will barely pick up her head at all during tummy time but the doctor doesn't seem at all concerned about it so I guess she just needs a little more time and practice to figure it out. I love watching Elli with her and even more so now that Emma is starting to interact a little bit with her. They are going to be the cutest little sisters. I seriously love this little girl and can't even imagine life now before she came. She fits in our family just perfectly.
