Like a Duck to Water

Well, it's been sooo long since I've posted I figured I'd start with the most recent and work my way back.

Last week we reached a big milestone in moving Katie Jo to her new room with her "big girl bed." We've been slowly transitioning her so she wouldn't feel thrown in there overnight. First, Jay and my Dad painted it. Then we picked bedding and ordered it. Next, we started spending a little bit of time in there every day to get her used to it. Finally, last week I started moving some of her toys over and by Wednesday we were ready. So far it has been going swimmingly. The first nap was the worst. Not because she got upset but because she kept getting out of the bed and I'd have to check on her every ten minutes. By Wednesday nite she understood it a little better and it only took about 45 minutes to get her settled in. After that she has stayed in her bed without us having to go in more than once. She loves her new room! She loves her bed with all the animals and her new hamper where she herself puts the dirty clothes away. She loves getting her diapers out and ready and she loves her toys that are on a new bookshelf. We didn't put a lot of toys in there which seems to help so she isn't overwhelmed with choices. A couple of days ago we started saying "Goodnight" to each of her animals and kissing them. We finish with her and she just thinks that's the best thing ever. I'm so happy for her to feel "big."

As for the old room we'll probably start putting it together for Georgia after my next ultrasound. I would like to make sure it's a Georgia and not a George before we go to too much trouble.

This picture is from the very first nap.
