It was about 4:30, and Miss Emma had only had one 30 minute nap since waking up at 9:00am. She was tired. Most the time when she gets tired, she gets slap happy and really silly! Cant complain.. but if we dont put her down soon, shes gets CRANKY! On my way home from my moms house, she fell asleep as i was parking. I took her upstiars and put her in her swing, thought for sure she'd pass out right away. Well at first she was slap-happy, smiling and laughing everytime i walke by! Then the cranky came out, and she was REFUSING to sleep! When she falls asleep and her head nods (mostly in her car seat) Kelly and i refer to that as the "church nod" ya know, when church is gettin a lil boring and you keep falling asleep, and your head falls forward,or backward and it wakes you?! ha! Youve all done it, dont deny! Anyways, emma is notorious for this! Well today as she was crying in her swing refusing to sleep she was doing it. (usually shes already asleep and she does it, so this was new!) It was so funny! She likes to sit up in her swing now, so she was doing this and falling asleep!

Emmas New Trick
Yesterday i read in Parents Magazine an article titled "baby milestones" and i was so bummed because it said toe sucking usually starts at 4-6months, and i thought... awww emma hasnt done that yet!!! Well i think she heard my thought cause as i was changing her diaper she did this....
So i guess we need to take a break from painting the nails for awhile :-(
Ps.. Cuss-aholics is goin pretty good, the first day my lovely sister helped me and kept count, 5 in 3 hours... but i gotta admit... she brings it out in me! hahaha!!! Each day it does get easier and easier... Im taking it one day at a time!

Cuss-aholics
Ladies and gentlemen, i swear, A LOT! Today i have decided to cut back, and possibly one day STOP swearing!!! Disclaimer: i do NOT use the "F" word. So dont think im THAT trashy! Ha! I do however use all the others, and sometimes for comedic timing! However i am going to stop, one cuss word at a time! Ill keep you all posted on my progress, cause i know you all have nothing better to do then worry about my horrible cussing habit! I have stopped biting my nails, so cussing is my next thing!
Example of my true efforts:
About 5 minutes ago i dropped emmas play jumper thing, right on my big toe knuckle ( wow i need to learn the proper words for things, possibly my next goal?) anywho... i dropped it... and all i shouted was... OH CUSS!!!!! ha! So there! thats one small step for man, one GIANT step for whitney!!!!
And im going to add a poll... is HELL a bad word... really?

I never knew how fast 4 months could go!
Emma is 4 months old! She is 14pounds 8ounces, in the 75th percentile! HEr personality is already coming through strong! She screams when shes happy, she screams when shes mad.. theres a slight difference in the scream. a scream only a mother could love! I figured out a good way to describe it, you know when you blow up a balloon.. and squeeze the end so the air slllowly comes out and makes that VERY high pitch wonderful noise... Yep! Thats emma!!! Ha! She knows how to roll over, but quite frankly just doesnt want to, unless she HAS to! She keeps her tiny feet in the air as much as possible. Shes LOVES her father! she LOVES nursing, the more the merrier, and i love it as well! Onsies are our favorite thing to wear! i say OUR because... they are the easiest to put her in, you donhave to "match" anything, and shes so comfortable in them.Cant argue that!
Needless to say, shes an AMAZING baby, so relaxed and fairly easy going! Time is flying SO fast, i wish i could slow it down!!!!(sorry you have to stand on your head to see this picture, not sure why it rotated this way!)
