What we've been up to

Well, we've certainly been keeping busy! This weekend Jason's sister, Mandy came out to visit with us and spend some time with AJ. She absolutely ADORES AJ and he loves her to pieces! She's so great with him, always making him laugh and smile and isn't phased when he starts to get upset. She just rocks him and sings to him and puts him right to sleep.

Mandy and I had some girl time and went shopping for a few hours and got much needed pedicures too! We also went for a nice run on Sunday morning- even tho it was 34 degrees outside! BURR! I think we just knew that we'd be eating some really bad food later in the day for Super Bowl so that encouraged us to do it.

AJ and I have also been keeping very busy with MOMS Club. We've met some really great moms and kids and AJ is just so awesome at playing. He loves to sit and watch and he's such a tough boy that when other kids accidentally kick him or roll onto him, he doesn't seem to care; he just keeps chewing on whatever he has in his mouth :)

Today we had a fun play date and tomorrow we're going to lunch with some friends. Then later this week we're going to hit the pool. Yes, I know that I keep us very busy, but on the days that we don't get out, I can tell we're both a little bored and on edge.

I probably shouldn't say this for fear of jinxing myself, but sleeping has gotten a little better. AJ has been staying up a little longer lately- till about 7 or 7:30 and he wakes up typically 2 times each night which I can handle at this point. It's certainly better than 4 or 5 times as it was for WAY too long. He will usually sleep until about 6:45 or 7am too.

The car seat isn't the WORST thing in the world either- it's amazing what growing up will do! The only time AJ hates his car seat is when I've had to take him in and out over and over again- and I don't do that too much. If I have to run a bunch of quick errands, I just do it when Jason is home. Otherwise, AJ can look out the window, play with his toys or sleep.
