The Brittons

I figured since Thanksgiving is over, we can get the Christmas stuff out... :) Aunt Annie and Grandpa playing with Gracie. Annie and Chad got engaged!!!! Sarah and Annie with Gracie. Gracie and Annie Grandpa and Gracie Gracie has learned to sit in her Bumbo and is getting good at holding things...kind of. Gracie and her cousin Ryleigh are playing together! We have been very busy since our last post. Stephanie and I hosted a shower for Cassie at our house and Ryleigh and Gracie got to play together. Ryleigh is a bit more mobile than Gracie right now, though. The shower went well and it was good to see everyone again. Gracie does pretty well in her Bumbo and has learned how to watch TV from it. I had her turned away from the TV one night and she was turning her head to try to watch it. Scary... She is also moving around quite a bit when she is on her back. She can roll over to her side and turn herself completely around on her activity mat. The daycare people said that she t...

These are more pictures from last weekend at her baptism. This past week has been very busy. My "new" job is going ok and I have been very busy learning how the schools work. Hopefully I will enjoy working at Ames High and Middle schools. Gracie had her 2 month check up. She is very healthy and weighed in at 13 lbs 10 oz. She has gained 4 1/2 lbs in the last two months. Pretty impressive. She is also now 24 inches long. The doctor listened to her heart again and there were no problems with that. Gracie did well at daycare last week and they love her there. She is the only girl in there right now. She has still been sleeping very well, except last night she quirmed her way into the corner of her crib and woke herself up at 4am. She was not very happy. The sleep positioner is not working as well as it used to. She must move around in her sleep as much as she makes noise. We got to see a lot of our family again this weekend for Cassie's shower. That was fun...

Gracie's baptism was this past weekend, so we had our whole family at our house. It was so good to have everyone together and I'm glad everyone could come. Gracie did very well and slept through almost the entire service. She was very happy to have a lot of attention, too. I am back to work now and will be starting work at Ames Schools next week. Gracie has been going to daycare everyday and seems to be doing fine. She was struggling with eating the first couple days, but hopefully that is getting better. She has been sleeping all night for the past five nights. Usually she goes to bed around 10-10:30 and we get her up around 7am to get ready for the day. She woke Nick up last night, but he put her pacifier back in her mouth and she fell back asleep. So, no complaints here. It has been so nice getting six hours of sleep all at once. I'm sure Gracie likes it too. I don't know many more updates. We are taking her to her two month doctor appointment today. ...

Here are a couple more pictures from Halloween. Gracie helped hand out candy, kind of.
