Sloane Winifred is 11 Months Old

My littlest sweet is 11 months old! This baby is small but scrappy. There is a lot of personality in this tiny package. She knows what she wants and gets after it. She is a driven and determined little fairy who is cruising and crawling all over the place. One would think that after a decade of babies this phase would get old, but it totally doesn't. It's so much fun to watch her crawl around and discover new things. I love feeding her new foods because her reaction is always extreme. 100% yes or 100% no way. She is so snugly and lovey. Her favorite things are her blanket, Cheerios, butternut squash (thankfully, we have tons!), music, her siblings, daddy and mama (always mama. We'd both be happy if I could just carry her every where for the rest of our lives. I'm honestly surprised she knows she has legs.) her toy basket, phones, biting people, nursing, and tiny things she finds on the floor. She follows me around and walks with me in the kitchen, standing between my feet, crutched by my legs.  I love her. I love her. I love her.

Sloane had an appointment yesterday for her 2nd dose of flu shot, and weighed in at 14lbs 8oz.  Sloane Wini is such a mini!

She only cried for 20 seconds after her shot, but it was quite the wail. Sweet Quincy couldn't handle the sight of her baby in pain and sobbed a hysterical ugly cry that took me and two nurses to calm her down. What a tender hearted sissy Sloane is lucky to have to watch out for her. 

Sloane says, dada, mama, no, more, ya-da, all done, and cheese.

Sloane has 6 very sharp teeth and bites anything and anyone! If you have bare feet and you're sitting on the sofa with them propped, watch out! She'll chomp your toes faster than you can get away!  I have many bruises and teeny tiny cuts where her sharp teeth have broken the skin. And she laughs and laughs at the reaction.  I can already tell that Sloane will be a social girl. She loves that Soren is always there. He calls her Sloanie (Swoh-ney) and kisses her face all day. Happy 11 months, sweet happy baby! We are so pleased to be your family.
