It will stay up here so that you can visit and look at pictures of Sloane's first two years. <br /><br />Instead, I have created a group on facebook (many of our readers are already members) and have committed to uploading pictures and videos at least monthly. If you haven't already joined us over on facebook, please do so! Drop and email either to John or to me and we'll send you an invitation to join the group.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-7432387002074384358?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-81274425756743384212009-04-30T20:21:00.002-04:002009-04-30T20:25:39.181-04:00Birthday Party #3At Grandma and Grandpa's House (and yes, the common denominator of all three parties was cupcakes!):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/uploaded_images/IMG_0758-774796.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I thought maybe I was measuring her wrong at home when I would consistently get 40 inches, but no, I was pretty much on.... <br /><br />Height - 39 and 1/2 inches => greater than 99% <br />Weight - 27 lbs 8 ounces ==> 68% <br />Head - 19.4 inches ==>90% <br /><br />Sloane was really good and really funny at the doctor's office. My pediatrician said that if we followed the rule of thumb, Sloane will be about 6' 6" -- though she said that's probably unlikely. She did say that we can reasonably expect her to be a tall girl.<br /><br />Pictures of her birthday parties (she had three) and her trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house in New Orleans, coming soon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-5007330498760898843?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-90127953550411518172009-04-13T20:53:00.000-04:002009-04-13T20:54:08.529-04:00Dance Machine<object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UZSjJwEqIfA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UZSjJwEqIfA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-9012795355041151817?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-36889319959568286962009-04-08T20:01:00.004-04:002009-04-08T20:13:39.189-04:00Thanks for the Sandbox!And the birthday presents begin to roll in...

She firmly believes that the fun of the sandbox is scooping out the sand and dumping it on the ground and no amount of convincing or redirecting could change her mind. Sigh.

I've been really busy and have not had the energy to deal with coding and posting multiple pictures and videos. Lots has happened in the World of Sloane in the last almost-month -- Grandpa Peter and Grandma Jean came to visit, we had a snow storm, we had 80 degree weather (same week as the snowstorm), we started swim classes, we turned 23 months old, and on and on. Mommy has pictures and video galore to post, but is short on time.<br /><br />So this will just have to hold you until then:<br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kCOzi96cHeQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kCOzi96cHeQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-6474481703551100037?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-81090649962775639642009-02-22T14:21:00.002-05:002009-02-22T14:42:34.072-05:00Sloane goes to CarnivalWe went home to New Orleans for the long weekend of President's Day. Sloane had a great time at the Krewe of Push-Mow in Abita Springs and the Krewe of Barkus (the dog parade) in New Orleans. Other than that, we just laid low doing Sloane's favorite activity of digging in the sand by the river at my parent's house. She had a great time hanging out with "Popeye" (grandpa) and "Popeye-she" (grandma).<br /><br />Unfortunately, Sloane came down with a double ear infection and we had to extend our trip a few extra days (John stayed behind, but I had to go back for work).<br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0365.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0368.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0372.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0373.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0379.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0385.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0393.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0396.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0399.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0403.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0407.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0417.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0418.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0421.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0422.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0425.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0427.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0428.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0430.JPG" width=530 height=400/><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-8109064996277563964?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-85668037088878559042009-02-19T17:57:00.000-05:002009-02-19T17:58:21.686-05:00Disciplinarian<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jD4yMMXbstI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jD4yMMXbstI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-8566803708887855904?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-84838959556894470502009-02-19T17:56:00.001-05:002009-02-19T17:56:41.814-05:00Never too early to start planning<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uwFDwou7CqA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uwFDwou7CqA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-8483895955689447050?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-72519353899942264902009-02-02T19:24:00.002-05:002009-02-02T19:42:35.894-05:00Moo-ee, moo-ee!!Sloane has become obsessed with the movie ("moo-ee") <span style="font-style:italic;">Triplets of Belleville</span>. She demands to see "moo-ee" abut 30 times a minute. <br /><br />Other than that, she's been very busy "cooking" meals for her Fwog (Frog), Melmo (Elmo), Monks (a sock monkey) and Baybiss (a baby-doll). She also finds time in her busy day to discipline Fwank and Cali ("Not nice! Bad boy! Hey kitty! Go sit! Not nice! Not nice!!"). Running the Indy 500 through the loop of living room, kitchen, family room back to living room is also a favorite activity. And, of course, visiting our neighbors' wonderful and uber-patient wolfhound Riley ("Ya-yee").<br /><br />Recent pictures:<br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0184.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0189.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0212.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0216.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0234.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0235.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0245.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0252.JPG" width=530 height=400/><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-7251935389994226490?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-34863219151668363602009-01-27T19:44:00.002-05:002009-01-27T19:51:45.564-05:00A Momentous WeekendWe bought and wore big girl panties for a few hours!

Suffice it to say, I am never moving again and certainly never during the holidays. I am sick, Sloane was sick, my boss probably thinks I am playing hooky from work (I swear I really was sick as a dog -- 103 fever on New Year's Eve!), John hasn't really had a chance to sleep in at least a week (he looks like a zombie). The house is still in disarray and there's still so much to unpack and set up and organize that my brain stem starts to throb when I think about it -- BUT we're in, Sloane's room and the playroom are completely set up and organized and it's great. I see many happy years here. <br /><br />Our neighbors are wonderful - the couple next door brought over a nice bottle of wine, invited us to their NYE party, then to dinner AND brought over a laminated listing of all the important numbers, the places that deliver food here and all the child-friendly stuff within walking distance. I think I may be a little bit in love with them. The neighbors on the other side are also super friendly and both sets of neighbors have big, friendly dogs that Sloane is positively thrilled about! Across the street is an elderly couple who are home during the day and like to "keep an eye on things" and a few doors down is a family with two boys, one only a few months older than Sloane.<br /><br />Posting will invariably be very skimpy over the next two weeks or so as we get this house in order, but I bring you a few things for your viewing pleasure... first some photos of Sloane's new playroom (including the various tortures to which she subjects a willing Frank and Cali) and finally, a video of her practicing her hip-hop dance moves.<br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0115.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">(this was still at the apartment but was too funny not to slip in)</span><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0139.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0142.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0143.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0146.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0150.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0153.JPG" width="530" height="400/"><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/z7XKYauyMqI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z7XKYauyMqI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762265866168940903-2672460513624526984?l=baby.daniellasmisadventures.com%2Findex.htm'/></div>Daniellanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762265866168940903.post-36733686517782413572008-12-21T19:20:00.002-05:002008-12-21T19:29:13.293-05:00Rose Petal CottageThis bleepin' thing was a beast to assemble (we actually had to watch the instructional video!), but she loves it.

It was a crazy, hectic month, full of house negotiations and travel and all kinds of craziness.<br /><br />These last two months with you have been amazing and phenomenal. We find ourselves holding our breath, watching you do things and say things that we had no idea you knew how to say or how to do. Your words have exploded in the last few weeks and you now say all kinds of things that leave me speechless and dumbfounded. While we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house in New Orleans, you told me that the "ducks foo-fay" (flew away) and that outside was "wet yuck" (after it rained) and that lemons were "mmm good yum" and all kinds of other amazing things.<br /><br />You can run so fast and now do so at every chance you get. You are in love with "Melmo" "Cookie" (monster) and every animal under the sun. You can tell me, without prompting, that cows say moo, sheep say baaa, kitties say meow and doggies say woof woof. And the sound that you make for a pig is the funniest thing I have ever heard. You quietly sing songs to yourself in the back seat and have conversations with your dollies that can last for a long time. You like to tuck them in to go night-night (though getting YOU to go night-night is still an exercise in frustration). You also like to tuck "Fwank" and "Callooo" in for night-night, too, with often hilarious results:<br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0071.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0072.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0074.JPG" width=530 height=400/><br /><br />You really enjoy bossing Frank and Cali around, following them around and wagging your index finger and telling them "no, no!" You also like to tell daddy that he's "yucky," which is something he most certainly does not enjoy.<br /><br />You've started using the potty at school (though still with limited success at home) and in general, you've opened up more and become more outgoing with other children. Your sweet, sunny disposition shines through no matter what you are doing.<br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/IMG_0078.JPG" width=400 height=530/><br /><br />In a few days, we'll be moving into our new house. We are holding our breath that you handle this move as well as you did five months ago when we moved to Atlanta from New Jersey. This house has a big yard and playroom and your own bathroom and dogs at the neighbor's houses and lots of little kids in the neighborhood. Your daddy and I chose this house because we think you'll be happy growing up there.<br /><br />You're the light of my life, my reason for living and everything that your daddy and I do, every breath we take and every decision we make, is for you. <br /><br />Love,<br />your mommy<br /><br />P.S. see that binky in just about every picture? Yeah, that's going bye-bye as soon as we get settled in the new house, so enjoy it while it lasts!<br /><br /><img src="http://baby.daniellasmisadventures.com/2008%2012%2001%20120.jpg" width=600
