Ada's 3 Month Pictures

Ada turned 3 months last weekend. We had some pictures made today at Portrait Innovations. Ada only cried once, but we'd been there at least 45 minutes, so I consider it a success!

This has been a week of firsts for Ada. She started batting at the toys hanging above her on her floor mat on Monday. And she grabbed a toy and brought it to her mouth for the first time on Monday, too.

Josephine has moved into a new bedroom this week. We painted the guest room purple this weekend and took out our stuff. She's slept in it the past 3 nights. For some reason, she's chosen to nap in her old room this afternoon, but overall she's excited about her new room. Josephine is in a "big girl bed" now. It's my old twin bed on the floor. She hasn't fallen out of it yet. I would put pictures up of her painting her room, but she only had panties on and I don't want to put those pictures on the web. When we get it all set up, I'll take pictures and post them. We haven't put anything on the walls yet. We're going to add shelves and some decorations to the walls. My next challenge is to figure out what to do with all our things that were in the guest room. The office desk is now in our bedroom . . . we couldn't figure out where else to put it. I also need to straighten up Josephine's old room so that Ada can move in there and out of our room. It may take a week or two to get everything where it needs to be.

Josephine is doing well with her new "challenges". She is using the potty (even poopping!) all the time and has not had an accident yet, even through the night. She is also getting better at putting her own clothes on and off. Shirts are still tough, but pants are no problem. The fruit and vegetable cards have really helped motivate her to eat fruits and veggies. She still resists sometimes, but now she just won't get a card if she doesn't since making her sit there until she eats it obviously doesn't work. She really likes corn and cucumbers (not together). Eating the peel of apples and pears is no longer an issue. She still refuses green beans, though. : )
