Just when I thought Jon couldn't climb stairs, he can, so now we have to shut the door downstairs. Just when I thought he wouldn't stand on his own, he did it twice yesterday, he's moving right along, whether I'm ready or not.

I'm not sure how the bottle thing is going to go, he only gets one before nap and bed, but I haven't changed the routine yet, it's on my list of things to do. He does good with the sippy though, we put the stopper in, it was making a mess. But he doesn't drink as much as he would out of the bottle.

He has been sleeping odd hours lately. He sleeps from 8pm-9am. Then that screws up his naps. So, he has been getting one nap lately, which makes for an ugly evening. And he's been fighting the nap, even though he is dead tired. We'll figure it out. Maybe a tooth is coming in? He doesn't let me look in there to see. But we heard him cry at around 1130pm, then again at 6am, and at 7am. But each time by the time I got to his room he was done. He has been in a crabby mood lately, but I just thought because his sleep is off.

We decided to get Jess a used VW bug beetle toddler bed. I saw one on craigslist yesterday, and the lady emailed me back today, and Jeff picked it up. It's a cheap solution for the meantime, and the other two kids can enjoy it after her. Jess loves it. She understand that the crib is for Stephanie. We decided to switch cribs, since Jessica's is a toddler bed convertible crib, it goes down lower, so Jon won't be climbing out anytime soon. That's in Jon's room, and his went in Jessica's room. We had to take downstairs her bookshelf to make everything fit. We just have to get a mattress for the crib. Maybe MIL will buy it? Oh well, no rush on that. In the meantime I threw her pooh couch in there, in case Garfield gets the bright idea to jump in there, so he doesn't hurt himself. But for now he thinks Jessica's new bed is a very cool place to nap.

I started off the day with stomach issues, luckily that subsided after a few hours, and then we were busy the rest of the day, with still lots left to do. It was cute this evening after we sat down for a bit to relax, the kids were going crazy in the living room, running around chasing each other, they sure had a burst of energy, when we were out of it.

We had a huge thunderstorm pass here. We were sitting down eating, and deciding that I should go outside with the kids, while Jeff moves the cribs around, and then he would go outside, so I could finish straightening up. Well all of the sudden the winds picked up and it started to pour. We ran outside to cover the pool, stuff was flying everywhere, the play kitchen blew over, the small slide flew across the yard, the basketball net fell over, and then I noticed my cover over our swing started to rip. It's only 2 years old, but has been left out through all kinds of weather, so obviously it was weak for the winds to rip it like that. We got to it as fast as we could but it started to rip even more. What a mess.

Tomorrow's my doctors appointment, I think I'm 31 weeks. I have tons of clothes to put away, and more straightening to do, I want to tackle their closets. And I really hope Jon's all done with his first nap by 1230pm so he will be in a good mood when we have to be at the doctor's at 130pm, but you know when you try and plan something just right, it never works out.
