Happy 4 mos!

~Beckett~

Happy 4 months!  I can't believe you're 4 months old already.  Time really is going by quickly.  You are still such a little joy. 

 I really feel like you've developed a lot this past month.  You have definitely started becoming more aware of your surroundings and turn towards noises or voices.  You are reaching and grabbing at things.  You squeek and squawk a lot - it's cute.  

You DROOL a lot!!  I put 2 bibs on you so you don't soak through them as quickly.  Hudson did the same thing.  You are putting a lot of stuff in your mouth, but aren't really interested in your paci anymore.  You still really like your play mat.  We've tried the big bouncer, but it's not really your favorite thing.  I think you're ready for cereal, but I'm trying to hold out as long as possible since your brother had a lot of food allergies.

You've been sick and the doctor saw your left ear is infected.  Poor thing.  I feel really bad I didn't take you in sooner.  You're such a little trouper and tough guy, I just thought it was a mild little cold.  You've been sleeping in your carseat so you can breathe easier.  I'm afraid it's going to be hard to get you back laying flat in the crib.

You weigh 15.2 lbs =58%

Your length is 25 1/2 "=71%

Your head is in the 21%. 

You poor thing, you had to have shots today.  You only cried for a few seconds, though.

Sleep has been rough this past month.  You have slept 12 hours/night a handful of nights, but the rest of the time, you have gotten up once or twice and want to eat.  Thankfully you go back to sleep pretty fast, but we're so ready for you to sleep all night long.  

You wear a size 2 diaper during the day and 3 at night.

My mom got you this cute John Deere outfit.  I love it.  Pictures were hard this month since you've been sick a lot lately.

Our life sure is better with you in it.  We love you!   And are so thankful for you!!  You're such a little joy and sweetheart.
