So many updates!

Giving some updates of AJ! Mr. Man is very independent these days. It's amazing. We thought he was starting to drop naps because he was just up in his room quietly playing during nap time...but NOPE. The below picture is precious. It was taken about 4:30 on a Sunday--a Sunday that was also a very nice day and after a park adventure. I love a sleeping AJ (well I love an everything AJ, but a sleeping AJ after he exhausted me is a perfect AJ :)).

AJ has actual conversations that can last 20 minutes or more. He LOVES to talk. He talks to Grandma often. She is one of the only people in the universe that would never get bored talking to a two year old AJ. They have so many important things to talk about (like spongebob underware). While driving one day, AJ was playing with my old -- and I mean old because I dont' remember ever having a 'flip' phone -- cell phones and 'called' Grandma and had a conversation with Grandma-- a very serious conversation:

My birthday was a few weeks back and my boys really spoiled me. I just wanted to spend the day with them. The day was BEAUTIFUL so after AJ's swim class we ventured out to DC for a day of tourist activities. We walked a TON and went to a few museums and Georgetown before walking to Washington Harbor for dinner. Here is a picture of AJ and I. See his sweater vest? Yes, I dress him like that and I love it. He looks so darling! Oh, I'm so excited to dress another little baby boy up like it :). Too bad AJ doesn't enjoy it as much as I do. If it were up to him, he would wear a 'tank top' and basketball shorts all the time. He is much like his Daddy. Good thing I'm the boss.

We took AJ to his first MMA fight. The dulles sportsplex has these fights on Saturday evenings sometimes. John had two tickets and his friend bailed out on him so he asked if we could go, knowing we might need to leave if it becomes overwhelming for AJ. Well, let me tell you...AJ loves ALL SPORTS. He cheers for everything. He was cracking people in the place up with 'GET HIM' and 'GOOOOOOOOO' at the top of his lungs. He did so well. He was a perfect little angel and enjoyed himself. Notice the picture that both John and AJ have 'fists' up.

And that brings me to our second little terror. Pregnancy is great. I am now 26 weeks and feeling amazing still. We leave for vacation next week and I'm so excited about it. Oh, and I got my iPad2 in, so hopefully we can update on the trip with pictures and such!
