Hello Sloane

It's been a while since I posted a barrage of Sloane photos. You're welcome.


We've been getting lots of tummy time.




Chillin' after a tub.





She's grabbing everything and wants to hold her own bottle.






Greg came over for a visit


Mimi gave us this awesome new vest



We're loving the bumbo aka baby docking station.


This girl is scrumptious...please ignore my pink camo pants in this photo.




Sloane gives lots of very sloppy kisses


Cole and Nicki loved the vest too.


And thought Sloane looked pretty tough in it.




John calls this Sloane's James Dean photo.


It's hard to look tough when you're drooling.








I don't think this girl could get any cuter.

Hey dude

John and Owen were looking pretty cool (and staying warm) at the Husky tailgate.

Cooper, bad dog!

Oh, Ms. Anderson Cooper. I know it's partly our fault. You are home alone all day since John can't take you to work right now, the garbage is out in the open instead of in the cabinet under the sink, and our makeshift kitchen on the dining room table is just too tempting. It's hard to be mad at you when you look up with those sweet eyes and giant ears.

You have to look past our beautiful baby to notice sneaky Cooper....

How much Morell can you handle?

As promised, here are more photos from our shoot in the mother country. Many more photos. There were just too many fun ones to choose from.

Miss Sloane






Mayson & Uncle JJ love to make funny faces at each other
















Yes, we know the red umbrella looks a little goofy, but our photographer was determined to get it into a photo.

Me & my girl

While down at the market last weekend I ran into a photographer friend of mine who, true to his nature, quickly pulled out his iphone to snap some photos of Miss S.

Thumbsucker

Just when we're all stocked up on pacifiers, Sloane goes and discovers her thumb. The world's easiest baby just got even less fussy now that she can instantly soothe herself.





We're working on curling the other fingers into a fist so she doesn't take her eye out. Sometimes it looks a little dangerous...but pretty darn cute too.

Hanging with the girls

While John was playing in a golf tournament on Saturday, Sloane and I had some girl time hanging out with Nicole and Andrea. We grabbed coffee, walked from Pike Place over the sculpture park, checked out the new exhibits, and walked along the waterfront. It was the perfect not too hot, not too cold, slightly overcast fall day.

We found an S for Sloane


Nicole, Sloane, and Andrea

When we'd absorbed enough culture for one day we headed back to the market for lunch and stumbled upon the new Tom Douglas restaurant, Snack Bar. The food was delicious and the bloody mary's were incredible. Definitely going back.



After a quick tour of the market we headed home to don our Husky gear...Go Dawgs!
