Gorillas in our midst

This is Sloane's first visit to the Los Angeles Zoo. Pictured: Sloane, a Gorilla. Not pictured: enthusiasm, interest. For Sloane, getting in the car and driving to a new, exotic locale = meh, whereas our dog is a constant source of wonder and merriment. The lesson, as always--effort is too much effort.

Sunday at the Park




Football Club Barce-sloane-a

Here is Sloane in the very cute personalized soccer (football to you Europeans out there) uniform that Sloane's Spanish Aunt and Uncle sent to her. I think they are trying to stack the deck so that she roots for FC Barcelona (I mean, Barce-sloane-a!) instead of Real Madrid. In ten years, won't they be playing the Galaxy? Could a female in my house not root for Beckham? We'll see!

In the meantime, here are Sloane's most recent stats from her 18 month check up:
Height: 33 inches, 90th percentile
Weight: 25 lbs., 11 oz., 65th percentile
Head Circumference: 20 inches, 90th percentile

Sleepover at Grandma's

Sloane spent the night with her grandparents on New Years Eve and loved carrying her little "Ready or Not Grandma, Here I Come!" suitcase. So cute!
