Say Cheese!



Wow -- I blinked & it’s the end of January. Where is time going?!!! I seem to say that a lot these days, but seriously, I can not believe it. Lauren is a hoot these days as she has knows what she wants & let you know about. She can be found at almost any time during the day playing with Alyssa’s or Dylan’s toys. Why buy her any new ones, when I can just give them theirs?! Who knows, though, maybe they wouldn’t be as enticing if they were in her own room.

I have actually gotten her to take a few pics this month, which is a far cry from December. Where were these cheesy smiles & sweet poses when I was trying to get a Christmas card pic (you see, I’m still bitter!) or capture family memories?!

Lauren w/ Alyssa’s things.
Busted sitting on the coffee table playing with her tea set. I guess it looked comfortable????

She’s back on the paci (more then ever -- we really need to work on that!) & always has her blankie & 2 lovey’s!
pigtails for Lauren -- finally enough hair!
and a cute smile!
Alyssa is really enjoying school. When at home, she can be found reading, doing crafts, singing & dancing & playing school. We spend lots of time outside and she loves to ride her bike (finally without training wheels) & her scooter!

Dylan is eating the batter from the muffins the kids made with Grandma Balko. He is a little turkey these days being a pest to his sisters. He graduated from his speech preschool program & will start working one on one with Ms. Amber to master his last 2 sounds in Feb.. We are really proud of him! He loves to be crazy & silly, watch t.v., build things, and play outside.

Bath time is still as fun as ever for the Balko clan!
