January at the VanOsdols


Bathtime!


Alexander loves his baby food and is quickly getting the routine down. Elizabeth loves her art easel that Grandma and Grandpa Maloney bought her. On this day we painted with metallic and glitter paints using sponges. Unfortunately, after five minutes or so, Elizabeth was bored... Also, here's a picture of Elizabeth before Andrew took her out to play in the snow. The temp was in the single digits yet she insisted on being outside for over an hour!







We were thrilled to have Sarah visit us for a few days! She was a huge help with the kids and they both adore her. We relaxed around Vermillion one day and shopped in Sioux Falls another. Thanks Sarah!





Check out her flexibility!

Enjoy the pictures of Alexanders hair ... its disappearing fast! I have a feeling he'll spend most of the next year bald like his sister was.






On this day, to keep Alexander entertained for a few moments, I asked Elizabeth to dance for him. She stood there for almost five minutes "shaking her bon-bon!" It was adorable and Alexander loved it!
















Here's Elizabeth sitting on her potty however, much to her mothers dismay, not actually doing anything...! Elizabeth is one of the most stubborn children I've met and I'm not surprised that this personality trait is influencing her potty training.
