Easter & Ears

it seems like we're quickly running out of firsts around here, but we sure enjoyed Lofton's first easter. we went over to gigi and papa j's house to dye eggs with parker and peyton and then we went to church saturday night. the little lady was ready to go home by the time we were finished. it was 7:15 and her bedtime for sure! sunday morning rolled around and our little alarm got up at 6:30. the easter bunny was sleeping in, so he came during nap time and lofton had so much fun unloading her basket, trying to eat the eggs (which started leaking blue dye on her smocking), and playing with her toys. the bunny brought a few things to gigi and papa j's house as well so they so kindly brought them over. she LOVES her fisher price learning table and the goldfish filled plastic eggs! we enjoyed a yummy brunch and then spent the afternoon relaxing.

in other news, we bit the bullet and met with an ENT on last monday to see about getting ear tubes. fortunately, he had an opening the same week and i was post-call so we went in friday morning. mommy was definitely more concerned than little miss, but she didn't have to have an IV, a hospital gown, or a breathing tube. a little nasal narcotic, a little gas, and about 10 minutes later she was back in my arms. we literally got there at 7:30 to check in, they took her to the OR at 8:20, back in my arms drinking juice at 8:30, and eating pancakes at le peep with the fam by 9! they told us she'd be cranky from the anesthesia for a little bit, but of course she proved them wrong. never let out a peep! that is until we got to le peep where her happy voice had turned up the volume drastically. now that she can hear she's testing things out apparently!

this is post-op (that is if she ACTUALLY had surgery. we have our doubts...)

and one more time b/c she's sweet and i'm no computer genius!
