The Brittons

Gracie with my friend Erin at her shower (Erin is due in June!) Gracie taking a look outside Climbing around in her crib The past few weeks have gone very quickly. I can't believe it is May already and Gracie is eight months old! We were at the doctor's office two weekends in a row. The first time Gracie had an ear infection, then the following weekend we were back after Gracie had a pretty high fever for a few days. At first they thought she might have had pnemonia, but after she broke out in a rash the doctor thought it might be something called Roseola. They did chest x-rays and took blood. Gracie hated the x-rays. That was not fun. She was on antibiotics for two weeks and developed diaper rash in the meantime. She seems to be back to normal now, except for the diaper rash. This seems to be getting better, though. I feel bad for her! Her illness didn't slow her down very much. She has started pulling herself up on everything. She seems to understand "no," but ...

Gracie's first horse ride on Bullseye. Gracie meeting Scottie wth Gramma. Gracie's Easter outfit It hasn't been that long since I last updated, but it has been an eventful week again. Gracie has been doing well, but has had stuff coming out of her right ear. I finally took her in on Saturday after she wouldn't take a bottle on Friday night, which is really not like her. After waiting in the doctor's office for quite some time, we found that she has a double ear infection. she has not been all that fussy or abnormal, at least not until this weekend. They gave us antibiotics and ear drops, so hopefully this will clear up quickly. Ever since her doctor's appt, she hasn't been acting quite right. Nick and I went out to eat on Friday night and tried to go shopping, but Gracie just wasn't very happy for most of the night. Again, not like her. Then Saturday night we had a babysitter for the first time and I went to a fight at Hilton with some frien...

Sitting with Grandpa Sleeping with Dad At the wedding shower with Anna and the girls Annie and Gracie...matching hats Bath time is still fun! Gracie's new favorite sleeping position. Gracie is now crawling very well and gaining speed! It was so funny to watch her in the beginning, trying to put it all together. Now we have to worry about keeping her out of things! It all happens so quickly! She has found all of the our rooms downstairs (not that we have that many) and she continues to try to get the bone from Jasmine. Jasmine has been surprisingly tolerant of Gracie. She even lets Gracie play with her feet. Gracie is also very talkative. It is rare that she has a quiet moment. We don't really know what she's saying yet, but Nick thinks she is saying "dadadadada...." Gracie has another tooth poking through, too. It is the top right one. She was a little bit more fussy with this one than the previous two, but still is doing really well. The daycare just told me t...
