Spring Break!

I'm running a little behind (literally... this week has been full of potty training and behinds-more to come on that subject!) BUT here are some pictures from Spring Break in Navarre Florida with our good friends, the Allemans. I am sure going to miss Chris getting the school holidays off when he 'grows up' and out of dental school :)!

Porter tells the best stories. Every age can enjoy them! Check out those had motions!

Who knew...the sun shines in MARCH and you do need some sunscreen!

Rollin' On Up!

There's nothing super exciting going on around the Loftin house (which is usually a good thing) so I decided to post about Laney's new trick...ROLLING! From the looks of this picture, she's ecstatic about it too. Clayton has been "helping" her roll over. I was wondering how she got from one end of the room to the opposite....

It takes her a little while but she finally does it at the end of this video.

Our Vacation...

One huge THANK YOU to Lolli for coming and watching Clayton and Laney while Chris and I headed to Washington DC for a dental conference. We did a little (very little) conferencing and a whole lotta Washington DC'ing. It was awesome. I love Washington via going to school at SVU but I loved more that Chris could NOT stay in his skin he was so excited!

This was the whole reason OU sent Chris (and me) out the Washington DC.... the poster presentation!

As exciting as the dental posters were, I decided to roam the conference center (which took up over 2 city blocks and was 2 buildings). I stumbled on the Biggest Loser casting call. Being a BIG fan, I couldn't resist the photo opt.

Oh, poor Lolli...no sleep for 3 nights. I, on the other hand, realized that I haven't had a full nights sleep in 3 years, until this vacation. Bliss!

Seriously, Chris couldn't part from this city map...He couldn't find the captial building :)!

While We Were Out!

Laney and I took a little adventure up to Minnesota last weekend to bid fairwell to my Uncle Tom. It was great to see the whole family and we will miss Uncle Tom but he had been sick for awhile and now is in a better place.

But, while we were out, by the looks of things, the boys were doing manly things.... like playing with pink baskets filled with matchbox cars.

When we got home, it was straight to Target for some bumper pads that were long over due!

We hope everyone is doing great!

Broadway, Here He Comes!

Move over Natalie, Clayton is on the fast track to fame. Here are a few from his repertoire:
Oh and we are a happy bunch!

I'm Hungry!

This girl doesn't miss a meal... But she hides it pretty well. Most of the times that I have changed her infront of innocent bystanders, they have made a comment. It goes something like, "Man, Laney, you sure do have some thighs". I love those 'butter thighs' -as we call them (that is until she hits puberty and gets really self aware and all that girly stuff, right?).

This is Laney's first biter-biscuit. At 4 months, Clayton was loving some baby food but Laney doesn't show much interest. This picture is a 'forced' food picture. I opened her little fingers, put the treat in, and guided it to her mouth.

This is what she really looks like. She's trying, but not for very long.

Her toy is stationary and is much easier to get into the mouth. Looks like she is staying on a strickly bottle diet for awhile longer.

Put somethin' in Mama!

Out of Commission!

After Laney came home from the hospital, Clayton spiked a fever that we cannot get down and Chris showed up with a nasty case of Shingles (yep, he has the old man's disease). So, we're not sure who to stay away from but I think we need a big bubble around our house until summer comes and kills off our bugs. Clayton is in the "MINE" stage and insists on taking his own temperature.

"Snow does a body good"! The snow really was pretty here and the icicles were breath-taking. This baby was hanging from our gutters. It might wrip down the side of our house but its a beaut.
