This year has gone by faster than any other year of my life. Even though it has been a crazy whirlwind, it is also been one of the greatest times in my life. Having Sloane has been such a blessing to our family and I can't imagine life without her.
Sloane is going through a sweet and salty phase. She has had her saltiness (hitting, biting) for awhile, but her sweet side is really starting to come out. She has started coming up and giving us constant hugs and kisses. They are so unexpected and precious. Sloane has become a little kissing bandit, blowing kisses to everyone and even kissing a little boy from Finn's class on the lips. Rick had to have a little chat with him about that. Sometimes when you think Sloane is walking over to give you a smooch she will surprise us with a smack on the face.
We celebrated Sloane's first birthday by a trip to McDonald's for her favorite treat- chicken nuggets, fries, and a fruit and yogurt parfait. don't judge- meals like this are few and far between. We threw a small bird-themed party the next day with friends and family. Sloane enjoyed being the center of attention while she opened up her gifts. She had her very first cupcake and suprisingly, just nibbled on it. I was sure that she would devour it, but she only had a few bites.
We can't wait to see what this next yera with Sloane has in store for us. She cracks us up with her spunky little personality.
