On Sunday, I worked most of the day and Caleb and Steve had a fun morning at the playground and at home. I did take a short break to go to a yard sale that my mom had found that had both boys' and girls' clothes. I ended up getting quite a few things for $1 each, so it was definitely worth going to. The best thing I found was a pair of Crocs that fit Caleb right now. He loves wearing them! When I was done working, Caleb and I went grocery shopping because Steve was doing a lot of computer work at my parents' office and wasn't around. He did take a short break to come home for supper and to get Caleb to bed, but then he went back to the office until about midnight.
Monday was our last play group for the year. We have had a fun time at the play group, so it is kinda sad that it is over. However, at the same time, I am definitely slowing down with the last few weeks of my pregnancy left, so it is nice to not have to go. We got a bunch of free stuff at our last play group. The preschool teacher had gotten a grant and so was able to buy all sorts of things for the kids, such as magnifying glasses and other science-related items. It was really nice of them to do for us.

One thing we did in the last class that Caleb loved was to play with water and food coloring and use a dropper to mix the colors. A dropper was one of the things included in our free items, so now I just need to buy some food coloring so we can do this at home!

On Tuesday we did a little shopping in the morning and then just hung out at home in the afternoon. Nothing terribly exciting.
Wednesday Caleb and Grammy had a busy day and Caleb took another 3 hour nap for my mother. I was happy for her but disappointed that he doesn't do that at home!!
On my way home from work on Wednesday, I stopped and met a woman who was selling some newborn clothes. I had discovered that I didn't have too many newborn items, so I was happy to find a good deal on some things. I think I am probably all set now, so that is good.
Thursday was a busy day. We went to Trader Joe's and the mall in the morning. I wanted to find Father's Day presents and luckily, we were successful. Of course, we couldn't leave the mall without either riding the cars or the carousel and Caleb picked the cars this time.
I was concerned that Caleb wouldn't take a nap on Thursday but I really needed him to, because he was going to go to a special event with Steve on Thursday evening that was sponsored by the school we had our play group at. It was touch and go, but he did finally fall asleep after about an hour in his crib. It is just so frustrating that he has been sleeping so well for my mom and not for me. And since I am always working while he is napping, it is stressful when I am not sure if he is going to nap. I ended up having to wake him up from his nap because I had to go to a doctor's appointment. I dropped Caleb off at Heidi's house so he could play with Grace while I was at my appointment, because they had to do something that required me to be undressed, and I didn't want Caleb to be there for it. Caleb had a great time with Grace and then we headed home so he could get ready to go with Steve.
The event was supposed to be a "camping trip", so they had smores and there were tents set up, "fishing", etc.
This picture cracks me up - they are so cute!
Ricky and Ana were in town so Ricky could pick up the stuff from down here to put in the moving van to take to Nova Scotia. So, I had supper at my parents' house while Steve and Caleb were gone. It was very nice to visit with them! It was too bad they couldn't spend any time with Caleb, though.
Caleb ended up going to bed late on Thursday night because of the "camping trip" so I expected he would take another marathon nap for my mother. However, turns out he woke up not too long into his nap complaining that his ear was hurting. After he got up, he continued to complain, so my mom asked me if she should take him to the doctor and I thought she had better since it was going to be the weekend and I didn't want to end up in the ER if it got worse. Turns out he just had a little fluid in his ears, no infection, and the doctor just said to give him Tylenol for the pain and that it should resolve itself. We did give him some medicine before bed last night and he slept fine and was fine this morning.
Grammy and Grampy got a new mattress, so they were checking it out
Poor kid! Something is definitely not right!
Being in pain definitely warrants the pacifier!
Today was a good day and a not so good day. We had decided to go on a picnic with my parents and Rad after church and we were going to have Caleb skip his nap since he usually does fine when he doesn't nap. It was a gorgeous day, not too warm, and we had a wonderful picnic and then Caleb and Steve played on the beach and even in the water.
I don't have too many pregnancy pictures, so it is good my mom took this. Getting pretty big, but not too bad considering I have less than a month left!
On our way home from the beach, Caleb was talking about how tired he was, so I started to feel bad that we had skipped his nap (even though he skips them on his own sometimes). I figured we would just put him to bed around 6:30 and everything would be fine. Well, when we got home, he started to melt down. Steve gave him a bath since he had been in the salt water and after he got out of the bath, he was very whiny and started crying a lot. We weren't sure if he was just tired or if there was something else going on. Honestly, I am still not sure what is going on with him. He was pretty inconsolable for awhile and even fell asleep a couple of times (once on my lap in the rocking chair and then again in his crib) and then woke up crying. Right now he has been asleep in his crib for about an hour, so I am hoping that he was just beyond exhausted and is now finally asleep for the night. He has not complained about his ear at all, but it makes me wonder if there is something more going on with him. I guess we will see in the morning!
Here are a few more pictures from the week!
