It's amazing how fast this first year has gone! It's hard to believe Sloan is 1. We had several milestones in the months of September and October. On the 11th of September Sloan threw a ball for the first time. This was a proud moment for mom! September 29th she took her first two steps. Also in September she gained three more teeth all within a week. October 23rd brought her first birthday. She had her one year doctor's appointment and continues to be growing like crazy. She is now 29 1/2 inches (85 percentile) and 23 lbs 1 oz (70 percentile). We started sign language at about 8 months so she could communicate a few things to us before being able to verbalize. She does well with "please, all done, more, and eat." She continues to increase her vocabulary and has perfected a few animal sounds. She can tell you the sounds for cats, dogs, lions and pigs. She also says "baby" (which usually means anyone under 12 years old) and "Doo" (which means dog in her world but also includes anything with four legs). She loves both. Her favorite word is "daddy". Sloan also went to her first Rocky football game and did some tailgating. She was a party animal and finally decided she could take a nap on the way home.
Sloan had a great first birthday with lots of family. She didn't quite know what to think about unwrapping presents but she definitely liked the end result. She enjoyed her birthday cake but spent most of the time throwing pieces of it on the floor. 
Sloan dressed up as an angel for Halloween. She got to see all of her cousins and greet some trick or treaters. We will save the candy eating until next year!
