2. This little guy is rolling all over the place. He just started this yesterday, and he loves it. It makes for happier awake times because he can entertain himself as he rolls all over the living room.
3. John is also going through "sleep training" this week. While in Alabama, he started waking up all night long, eating every two hours, sometimes more often than that. I was exhausted and feeling like we were back at week two. So...I am now making him "cry-it-out" if he wakes up before the four hour mark. So far, things are going great. The last two nights he woke up after three hours, cried for about five minutes, and then went back to sleep for another hour or two. We have gone from nursing four or five times a night to one or two times a night, so vast improvement!! Happier mom. Happier baby.
4. Finally, we are trying to finish up Ada's potty training. She is fine going tee-tee in the potty; it's the "other thing" we are having so much trouble with. She's still in a diaper at nap and bed time, so she just waits until then and avoids using the potty. I am trying to remember to put her in panties as soon as she wakes up to alleviate that problem. I am ready to be done with potty training. It's no fun.
And that is our house this week.
I feel better having updated. I don't have any sort of baby book for little John, so if it's not recorded on the blog, it's not recorded. And you know the first year--it's one milestone after another.
Oh, one last thing--feedback please. Ada's birthday is just around the corner, and I cannot decide if we should stick with just family or invite a few little girls over. Any advice? Is three still too young to really care about a birthday party? I am leaning towards just family, but could be swayed if anyone has a different opinion. For some reason, I am having the hardest time deciding.
Okay, I am really closing this now.

love your photos. it's hot we all have to figure a way to keep cool. i, don't think that 3 is too young. my sugg would be family and 3 04 children. no matter what ada will be happy and excited.
Cute pics!! John is getting so big and Ada is looking so much older!! I miss seeing you guys!!!!!!! My vote for the birthday party would be family only. We had one close family friend that is basically family that has two kids. I figured it was too young to start the 'party thing' and could do it next year at 4 or even 5 years old. We still had a theme, which was a 'fiesta' and basically served adult/kid friendly food with a great cake.
LB,
I may just show up at your door one day because I am so dying to see John "in person". I also miss seeing Ada so very much. Thanks, always, for posting the pictures. They are wonderful.

Laura Beth, you know my views on it, but it's just whatever you want to do. Ada still probably won't remember it. I don't remember my 3 year old party. Do you?
I love that picture of Ada from the back. I love her legs. How can a 59 year old grandmother be jealous of her 3 year old granddaughter's legs????? I'm not really, but I don't know why God didn't give me legs like that. :-) Again, JOKING!!! Near.
Laura Beth, Great pics on all of your blog posts! I wish I could keep mine up as diligently as you do yours!
As for the birthday thing... I am kind of a fuddy-dud in general, but I vote family only. Whatever you do is great and will be fun for her, and that is the main thing but I feel like parents make it too hard on themselves when they set a precedent early on for friend parties. But as everyone else said, I know it will be fun for her no matter what, can't believe how fast she is growing, my goodness!!!!!
