Viora Family Visit

Brian's cousin, Nancy, was in town from Washington this week and came over to visit Sloane.  She brought along her sister, Judi, and mom, Brian's great aunt Gloria, who hadn't seen Sloane since November.  They couldn't believe how much she has changed...and Sloane was very excited to show off her new sitting skills:


Cousin Nancy has a granddaughter who was born about a month before Sloane so it is very exciting to have two new babies in the family so close in age!


Great Aunt Gloria


 Mommy, Great Aunt Gloria and Cousin Judi!  Thanks for a great visit!

First Solids

We gave Sloane her first taste of solid food this week.  What did we give her??? Avocado...and I think she liked what small part of it actually made it into her mouth.  The photos say it all:





This is delicious!

 Can I get an Amen?


 Just can't get enough...so I'll eat the place mat.
And I think this about sums it up:
PS...I finally gave in to social media and joined Instagram...and did I mention that I'm totally obsessed:



So...if you need a daily fix of this little lady you can follow me at jennviora

St. Patrick's Day Parade

Brian and the NCFD walk in the St. Patrick's Day parade every year and we couldn't wait to include Sloane in the tradition.  She put on her best green outfit and partied with the best of 'em.
She even got to go for a ride on a vintage fire engine!
 Hanging out (literally) with Daddy before the parade started.
 Daddy got to ride in a vintage 1925 NCFD fire engine in the parade.
 Mimi and Grandpa joined in on the fun!

 The parade begins...

We had a spot right up front!

 Here comes Daddy!


 Hi Daddy!!

 We met back up at the end of the parade route:


 Sloane got to meet up with her friend (and future boyfriend), Colt!

 They had so much fun getting to know each other!

 I LOVE a parade!!

Party Girl!

Sloane went to her first birthday party last weekend...and I have to say she had a great time!  She was too little for the jumpy, but loved watching all the kids, especially the pinata and she looked so cute in her party dress!
 Having fun with Daddy!
 Getting to know her friend Ella.

Good times.
