Sloane, or as Bennett has nicknamed her "Sloanie Bolonie", just amazes us everyday. It is so fun to see her BIG personality come alive. She is happy (most of the time) and she is LOUD. Her vocabulary is expanding rapidly. Some new words: cheers, cheese, bee, tree, B, Papa, Grandpa, cookie, night night, bottle, dog, cat, bows, open, off, on, baby. I often find her looking at books and pointing things out she recognizes. She loves to dance and sing. She looooves water, is an OCD hand washer (hmmm like me?) and eats anything you put in front of her. She is such a cuddle bug. I must get a million hugs a day and she hugs pretty much everyone she sees. Sloane runs everywhere and likes to jump up and down when she gets excited. Her balance at 17 months is crazy. She's run down our step driveway full speed numerous times without a fall. There is no fear in this girl. I love that she is super girly with her bows, dolls and purses, but loves to play in the dirt and run around with her brother and his friends. This picture below pretty much sums up our Sloanie, pretty dress and bow with greasy hair (after a lotion mishap). BTW - it took me a week to get it all out. :)
