Emmie had her 4 month check up on Friday and I wanted to give an update. She weighs exactly 11 lbs (7%), 23.5 in (25%) long and her head circumference is 15 in (8%). The % next to each one is what percentile range she is in for her age group. As you can see, her weight and head are still fairly small, but her height is great! The doctor said she looks like she may be above average on her height considering she is still so small but so long! The doctor was extremely pleased with her development and said she was actually right along where she should be (which is 2 months ahead of her adjusted age!!) So, she is doing great and is just perfect!! She does have ONE flaw, but it isn't anything to be concerned about. She has a slight pigment variation on her stomach from where the skin pigment didn't develop all the way when she was in utero, but it is barely noticeable and isn't too large. The doctor said when she is older we may send her to a pediatric dermatologist, but it wasn't anything that would affect her health. He said Paul may appreciate it when she gets older, as Emmie may not want to wear a two piece bathing suit!! LOL I said if that was the ONLY thing wrong with her, after all she went through, I was 100% happy with that! As far as her developmental skills she has learned, she is chewing on her hands and has been for a few weeks (now I know why babies always have to wear bibs even when they aren't eating)!! She looks around when you walk into a room and talk to her, she is rolling over from her front to her back, she is starting to reach for toys and watch them when you move them in front of her.....and she is beginning to get a little
'TUDE!! This morning I put her in her car seat and she decided she didn't want to go in it, so she kicked her legs out straight in the car seat and pushed and "locked" herself into position so I couldn't bend her to strap her in!! AND she gave me an attitude about it the whole time!!! It will never be the same again, I'm afraid!! LOL
THEN, after all the fussing at momma, this is what she did.......
She THINKS she's funny!
Here is a little video I got of her flipping over, she still isn't even worried about flipping from back to front, she doesn't like being on her tummy and loves playing on her back, so she has yet to even try flipping from back to tummy yet!!

I am glad the check up went well! Sounds like she is going to be tall and is developing her own little personality! She is still precious, even if she is showing a little attitude!
Glad to know that she is doing well. She might grow up to be a tall model!
Hey Michelle, I just saw your blog and your baby is absolutely beautiful!!!! I do not think she looks like your husband at all!! She looks exactly like you. Just dont tell him I said that. It is good to see that you are doing so well. It is hard to imagine all of you "kids" with babies and jobs and families.
She sure is P-E-R-F-E-C-T...she is so precious and has been through a lot! It is great to hear all of her updated stats and that she is doing so well!! Wonder where she got her "tude" from?!?! Love y'all!
Emmie has the prettiest smile ever!! So cute!! She really is growing so fast!! Audrey was only 13 pounds at her 4 month checkup so Emmie is not that far behind her! :)
Sounds like she is perfectly healthy and growing just like she is supposed to!! The 'tude is just beginning if she's anything like Jack. The problem is not laughing cause it can be so cute and THEN it gets NOT SO CUTE! She's beautiful!!
