Gracie - 4 months

Sweet Gracelynn is 4 months old! She is still SUCH a good baby and always pleasant and happy. She loves her tongue these days and is always sucking on her fingers. On her 4 month birthday she nearly rolled over from her back and she does short giggles. We are waiting for some major laughs though. She is generally sleeping from 8:30pm-6:00am, wakes for a short snack and then is back down until about 7:40-8am. She has a bad night here and there but for the most part, she has been a great sleeper from the beginning. She LOVES her grandma's and leans towards them to be held... even out of my arms. The Little Turkey! Her hair in back is still pretty dark and it seems like she'll have the same beautiful blue eyes like her brother and sister!

Today in Alexa's kindergarten class, it was "TOOL" day. They asked for parents to come and talk about the "TOOLS" that they use in their jobs. I was talking to my brother Chris about this and he said that he would come and talk about his job as a flight attendant.
We came up with some ideas and made some fun stuff for the kids. Chris is so creative and was adorable with the kids. They loved his presentation. I made each kid a passport, boarding pass and water bottle labels. He brought life vests, oxygen masks, pretzels, seat belt, foreign currency, pin on wings, flight attendant aprons for Alexa and her friend Avery (who passed out the food together) and he even came in uniform. The kids loved it! He is awesome and is always so nice to help and do fun things for the kids. We sure love him!!!

Tonsilitis

This cute gal has been talking through her nose (nasally) for several months now. Just recently she started snoring like a grown man. I've thought that it was maybe just allergies or something in her nose for a while but on Saturday night I decided to look at her throat. It was SO red and swollen. Greg checked it out and about had a heart attack at how large her tonsils were. I took her to the pediatrician first thing on Monday morning. With out even using a compressor his jaw dropped when he peeked at her throat. He said that her tonsils were nearly touching from being so inflamed.
He decided to start her on antibiotics to see if it would go down with them. He said if the swelling isn't gone by the end of the week or if we notice her snoring with gasps for air here and there that she would need to see an ENT quickly and most likely get her adenoids and tonsils removed. GOOD TIMES! We'll see what happens in a few days... To Be Continued!

{Gracelynn's Blessing}

Gracie was blessed at our church on March 4th. As always, Greg did an wonderful job blessing our sweet daughter. He is amazing and Gracie was as calm as she could have possibly been.
Gracelynn wore the blessing dress that my mom made for me 33 years ago. It is still so pretty (and huge). Alexa wore the dress as well!
Afterwards the entire Jepson & Chazen families gathered at Greg's moms for some delicious food. I love that our families can get together for special occasions. Luckily Greg's parents house is big enough to entertain 50+ people.
