Random In January

January never fails to be a random month for the Ballard family. We're all coming down from holiday highs, and yet, excited for the brand new year that lies ahead. Due to this, the month flies by and our activities within that time make for a very sporadic post. So, without further adieu...

RANDOM #1
The weather.
It's warm, it's cold, it's snowy, it's dry?
We're not complaining though!
We spend warm days at the park and cold days enjoying games and hot chocolate,
(after the first snowman is built of course.)

RANDOM #2
We have spent multiple days in Puerto Rico!
(Alright, we of course don't actually go there)
It's a fantastic game of trading, buying, and selling - we highly recommend it!
The older girls caught on quickly and play with us into late hours of the night.
It's been great bonding time with the girls, but destroys any hope of Steven and
I being social with other couples. Oh well, we now have "built in" game players!

RANDOM #3
A great check up for our rapidly growing baby.
8 months old already! What is going on?
For "stat" purposes Azure is....
80 percentile weight, 80 percentile head circumference, and 60 percentile height.
We're lovin' her chubbiness!

RANDOM #4
We had "girls day out" last weekend.
After visiting the local animal shelter for our hundredth time,
(the kids know we can only window shop right now)
we stopped in at TGIFriday's.
Haley was enjoying her ice cream to the extreme.
They are ALL growing too fast!

RANDOM #5
You know that "growing too fast" comment above?
Here's more proof!
Kadyn lost her first (THREE) teeth during the week of Christmas.
Number 1 came on Monday, number 2 Christmas Eve,
and number 3 just a few days later.
For Kadyn it truly brought new meaning to the song, "All I Want For Christmas."
Good thing the tooth fairy doesn't take off for holidays!
