January

 I'm getting to this post pretty late this month. February has been a very bsuy month but we will get to that next month. January was a pretty low key month for us. We started the month out with a sick kiddo and a sick mommy. We spent lots of time just laying on the couch and watched a lot of Sesame Street and Veggie Tales.

 Being stuck inside we've spent a lot more time playing with toys.  We finally decided the the Potato Heads were safe from being chewed up and pulled them out for something new to play with.  Mia likes playing with the mommy and daddy Potato Heads the best.

 Since it was a quite chill month we decided to tackle potty training again.  This time with SUCCESS!!!!  We still have the occasional accidents and she wears pull ups at night but no more diapers!! HOORAY!

 Monty celebrated his 32nd birthday.  He had his traditional ice cream cake.  Notice Mia in the background...the child does not want to give up Christmas.

 Monty got a new Utah State hat (which we have to exchange for a smaller size) and a Utah State flag to put on the flag pole for game days.

 Mia has become quite the little helper around the kitchen.  She pushes the chairs and bar stools all around the kitchen to be right where I am and lending a hand...even when I'd rather she didn't. LOL
(I promise she does wear pants now, we just didn't the first week of potty training). 

 For some reason this month Mia got into a kick of dressing up in her blankets.  She'd bring them to me and ask me to make them a dress.  After the first one or two it was a challenge to get more tied on.

 I don't know if it happened in January or more the end of December, but Aunt Trina who lives with us is more often friend than foe anymore.  Poor Trina never knew coming up the stairs each day if Mia is going to like her or not.  Lucky for everyone it's not really a question anymore.  We love Aunt Trina.

Stay tuned for the February update.  I'm telling you February 2013 is a great month!
