Sloane's first birthday!


Sloane is one! Wow what a fast year!  When I imagined a third child somehow I didn't think about what kind of personality he/she would have.  We are really enjoying getting to know Sloane. Sloane is smart, cautious, clingy and snuggly, determined and observant.  She loves her big siblings and often wants to have whatever food and/or toy they have.  They are also ways in which she looks and acts like both Kent and Maeve.  Somedays she seems a lot like Maeve and other times she is a lot like Kent. However, she definitely has her own personality quirks. Sloane makes us laugh everyday.  She scrunches up her face and makes her "finch face" when she thinks she is being funny.  Sometimes (ok.... often) she can be demanding.  She says, "Waattteerrr!" loudly over and over until you figure out what she wants.

Sloane loves: Animals, water, berries, tomatoes (just like big sister) and playing with toys that she thinks Maeve likes.  Sloane is pretty clever and cautious.  She figured out how to put the balls in the tower of her water table and she has a bunch of words.  She can take three steps but then she sits down.  Sloane loves to snuggle in bed and nurse or as she calls it "mmm beh" (Mmms in bed)

 We went to the beach with some friends on Sloane's birthday.  Sloane loved playing in the sand.  We weren't expecting the weather to be nice because the forecast called for storms so I didn't put her suit on her.
Kent and Maeve had a blast with Ian and Ani.
