Two Major Milestones January!

1. Olivia Lynn is WALKING!!!

Olivia took her sweet time in doing so (which is fine by momma) but she officially started walking this month!  It is amazing how grown up she seems now that she walks.  Her favorite activity is to wrestle.  You don't want to be sitting on the floor unprepared, when she charges in, yells "wrestle" and then tackles you!  We love you Olivia and we are soooooo proud of you!

2. Ella Mazzy is POTTY TRAINED!!! 

We put Bamma on the mission of potty training when she came out to stay with us for a week at the beginning of the month as we were without daycare.  Within 2 days Ella was potty trained with no accidents!  Within 3 days she was going to the potty by herself without even telling us!  In fact if we went in to check on her, she would tell us to leave and that she needed her privacy!  We love you Ella and we are soooooo proud of you!

 

Ella and Daddy on Swanson Family Ice Skating Night! 




Livy bundled up to cheer from the side of the rink.  She had a few things hold her back from ice skating: 1. No skates small enough to fit, 2. Not being able to walk (yet).  Ahh man!




Daddy's Girl!




Mommy's turn!  Daddy had the great idea of instead of Ella pushing the cone around the rink, that she stand on it and we push the cone.  It worked great!  Ella loved it because we could go super fast.  A couple laps of that will sure give your back a work out, ugh!  

 

Ready to hit the ice!


 

Ella was going through a stage of wanting to put mommy's makeup on after baths.



Pucker Up Buttercup!

Whoopsie, I must have mentioned that she went a little out of her lip line. 



Perfect!

Happy 2nd Birthday Brady!  The Swanson cousins, Livy, Carson, Ella & Brady.
