Long Time, No Talk

We started this blog as a sort of diary to capture memories, but also to keep far away friends & family up to date on our lives. Judging by our latest activities, we've been up to very little the last 6 months. That, of course, is not true when you have an almost 18 month old on the loose in your 800 sq ft NYC apartment! What is true is that down time comes at a premium, therefore we've got a slow blog these days...

As everyone is aware, this winter has been ridiculous. Sloan has spent a lot of her time at Appleseeds (an indoor play gym), in her snow suit, or staring out the window thinking how nice it would be to roam the streets of NYC. We've made the best of it, but we are all dreaming of warmer days on the playground. 

Here are a few snapshots of the last few months...

This is from November; one of the first times we let her walk on the street. She smiled at absolutely everyone we passed. She was so proud of herself and it was the cutest thing ever. 
So happy about the beanbag Nanny Ness got us for Christmas! 

This is a game we like to play called "Waiting for Dad" 

This is another game we like to play called "I'm not getting my way, so I'm just going to lie on the ground".

Sloan's first snow steps. Incredibly unsure, but not all together unhappy about it. 

This picture is from Appleseeds. They have an indoor slide, lots of play toys, and a few big mats to play on.
It has been a life saver during the cold winter months!

Bundle up!!

There are many other adventures to catch everyone up on - Thanksgiving, Christmas, a new year of swim lessons - but for now, life calls...

Snow Day

Earlier this month, NYC got a few inches of snow. This gave Sloan a chance to test out her new snow suit on the roof.

We like to climb stairs

Sloan is a BIG fan of stairs. Here are some of her latest antics at Uncle Richard's house in Bridgehampton.

Weeee!

There are so many posts we need to catch up on lately - our trip to California, Sloan's Halloween cuteness, the construction we did on our apartment back in the summer (!!). But for now, a quick video Barry took at the park:

1 year milestones

At Sloan's one year appointment, her stats were:
Weight: 16.3 lbs (5% - so proud!)
Height: 28.5 inches (21%)
Head: 17.4 inches (27%)

Our little girl is setting records and just tearing up the charts these days! Something else she is tearing up is the floor...she is all. over. the. place. Ever since our trip to California (blog post coming soon), she has really taken to walking - while holding on of course. I got a quick video the other day I wanted to post - it shows her walking with her walker, waving, and then a few crawls. She has the funniest crawl - she uses her left knee, but right foot - she looks like a crab. But, it works!
