I forgot to mention yesterday that Jon sat up from a laying down position. He crawls then gets on his side, he's been doing that for a few weeks. This was the first time he got up and sat there, he was grinning from ear to ear and clapping. He can get down from a seated position, this was the first time he got up.

I put some toys in front of our front step as a barrier for him not to go through, but today I was holding Jess and Garfield on the chair and he easily pushed the large toys out of the way, and then went down the one step the hard way. He wasn't too pleased. So I put some heavier barriers there, he shouldn't be able to push that out of the way. He won't be able to do that step until he starts crawling on his knees and pulling up, which I'm sure will be happening soon.

I got all the laundry put away, and cleaned the bathroom, then the inlaws came over, and my FIL fixed the toilet. Afterwards Jon wanted to take a nap, even though it was a little early for him I let him, and I thought Jess and me would go play outside, she had been asking all morning.

We got out there, she wanted to go on the swing. Then she started putting her head down, and I kept saying "are you tired" and of course she said no. I kept saying "do you want to go take a nap". Nope was always her reply. The last time I asked, after her head had been down for 5 minutes, she said ok. So she took a nap, and then of course Jon woke up. So we hung out outside. I actually got to read for about 15 minutes, while he jumped in his jumperoo, amen, hahaha. By then Jeff came home and Jess woke up.

Jeff worked his butt off today. He got the front as good as it's going to get, he put the seed down, fertilizer, even cut the front and back grass. So now he says he's not doing anything after work for the rest of the week. He's been working outside for a week straight, more than that in fact. It's suppose to rain tomorrow... I hope so..... the grass really needs it. And we just need to relax for a while. Too much work is no fun, but how else will it all get done?
