Farmers Market, Take Two

Painted Lady

Sloanie put on makeup with her mommy this morning.

Such Sweet Sorrow

Sloane and her mommy have created a morning "good bye!" ritual at the front window. She's such a cute little monkey. She sure knows how to make her mom giggle and smile! Sloane's smushed up face, waves and "bye, mommy!"s are so cute, yet hard to leave. Sloane's mommy takes some pictures to sustain her until she gets to pick her up at day care.

So cute.

Dolly, Daddy and Doggie

What else does a girl need?

Sloane's Day with the Animals

Sloane went to the Studio City farmer's market today and hung out with some animals (who indicated that they would, in fact, say hello to their muthas for us). She wasn't too thrilled by the petting zoo, to be honest, and was much more interested in the other kids and sitting in all the kiddie chairs in the zoo (pouncing as soon as some other child would leave the chair momentarily defenseless). And, even when a pig became very interested in her, her reaction was priceless: she ignored him, peering out beyond the gate to get very excited about a passing "doggie!" Dizzy would have approved; he has taught her well. Yes, Sloane, dogs are MUCH more interesting that the rabble at the petting zoo.
She did make an exception for a bunny rabbit however, getting pretty excited when her daddy handed him to her. It sat in her lap for a bit and they both seemed pretty into it until he hopped back into his box.
On the other hand, Sloane was VERY excited about the pony rides and repeatedly exclaimed, "HORSE!" (or, "howse!", as she says it -- so cute!) She really dug the pony ride this time!
(** YIKES, just felt that earthquake!! Wonder how big it was? All's fine here and little one slept right through it. xoxo) (ps. just looked it up and supposedly it was a 5.0 -- good, nothing major.)

Stanford Reunion

Sloane hung out with Andrew, Caitlin, Carl and her daddy and mommy at Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock, famous for their "PIZZA PIE" (indicated in neon, of course!) Also in attendance was Andrew and Caitlin's ADORABLE little 6 month old baby boy, Theo. I think Sloane really took a liking to him and was sad when he had to leave to be changed. This is a really good omen!
(*nb. Carl's beer bottle was, in fact, empty.)

Cute pix for your Sloane fix

Kissin' Fool!

Sloane created an obstacle course of lovin' this morning, which included stops kissing Dizzy, Grandma Mendelsohn and Mommy. She had already done the rounds on her course several times before her mom started filming (which is likely why Dizzy was softly growling by that point, which you hopefully can't hear too well in the video). She is way too cute not to capture on film!

Iris and Bodhi at the Park

Sloane and her mommy hung out with Iris and Bodhi at the park today. He is such a little cutie -- and so well behaved! Sloane and her mommy both had a lot of fun chatting with old friends (mommy) and new friends (Sloane). It got pretty hot again today and Sloane's mommy was worried that the sunblock wouldn't be enough for her "transparente" daughter, so the jacket went on about half way through our time at the park. She didn't seem to mind though, and it certainly didn't slow her down a bit!

New day, new excuse to stick your butt in dad's face

Just so there is no confusion, yes, yes Dizzy could sit anywhere on the couch that he wants.

New week, new friends

Sloane continues to get more comfortable with the new day care. This week, she's been hanging out a lot with Samantha (pic #1) and Natalie (pic #2), even though Natalie has already transitioned to pre-school (but, they still have joint outdoor play time). She also still likes hangin' with the little ones, including 16 month old Jordan. And, I've been told that she really loves dance time and Beyonce, but that's no surprise to me!
(and, btw, that is only water all over her in the pictures -- much like her older brother, Dizzy, she goes a little nutty with water fountains.)
