Beckett turned 4 months old on August 28th. Hard to believe he is that old already! He is reaching many milestones lately. He loves rolling from his front to back and is trying to roll from his back to front, but realizing that he doesn't like his front too much, he tries not to roll over all the way. Smart kid! He loves to stand and hold onto things and will last for about 15 seconds before his legs give out. He does the motions of walking, but doesn't know that he is doing it. He smiles so much and loves to make all sorts of noises now. He's also sitting up by himself, but not for long periods of time. He'll stay sat on his bottom for a little while before he wobbles one way or the other. He's also in his own room and in his own bed! Big boy! I think he actually loves having his own room. He's a light sleeper and with Jarrod and I being near him, he wakes up easily to all sorts of noises...mainly the sound of Jarrod snoring:) He's still getting up 1-2 times a night, but he goes to bed with no problems and going back to sleep has never been a problem for him.
He had his 4 month shots and got a fever for a couple days. He was not feeling too great and latched on to me constantly. He wanted to be cuddled and rocked a lot. He got over his fever and then had to go back to the doctor today to get another shot. Yes, this is the bad part. The clinic ran out of one of the vaccinations so we had to go back a week later to get it. Not a happy camper, but he napped for 2 hours after the ordeal!
Beckett attended his first KSU football game last weekend and he was a real trooper! He was all smiles all day long. He never fussed once. It was a hot day so we stripped him down to his diaper and made sure he was cool. He loves being naked, so it was a good day for him. He flirted with all the girls and by the end of the day, he was a tired pup. We were so impressed with him!
We have decided to get Beckett baptized on September 20th in Lindsborg. We are going to have a night service and my uncle who married Jarrod and me is going to baptize him. My nephew is also going to be baptized at the same time. It's going to be a great family event.
Beckett is really starting to love food. He gobbles up his cereal and has started fruits. He really shouldn't be eating too many solids until he's 5-6 months old, but the doc gave us the go ahead since he's so interested in what we are eating. He only eats fruits mixed in with his cereal and so far, he loves pears and peaches. He likes bananas a little, but always gives the "yuck" face when we feed it to him.
Halloween is coming soon...this year will be a fun holiday for us. We will be trick or treating to our friends and family's homes and businesses. Beckett will be dressed up in a great Monkey costume. We'll see how long the hat part lasts. Can't wait to get pictures! He will be so cute!
We are enjoying every minute with our little man. This is the most exciting and challenging time of our lives. We watch him grow and love to see the world through his eyes. Everything to him is fresh and new.
We are thinking of several people and wish them all the best in the world. Jarrod's brother in law's mother was recently diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer which has spread throughout her body. They have given her 6 months to live. My uncle was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. He underwent surgery Tuesday and the prognosis is good. Sounds like he was able to come home today. Jarrod's dad just beat throat cancer and is doing well. We are very grateful for the people in our lives and hope for the best in every situation. Our thoughts and prayers are constant these days. We hope all is well with you and yours.
All our love,
Megan, Jarrod, and Beckett
