My sweet baby girl turned 3 on May 19th. It has kind of been a joke that Lofton gets sick for all of her friend's birthday parties...and this time it happened on her own party day. Poor girl had an ear infection and a temperature of 103 on Saturday. So we improvised! Party cancelled and family dinner (plus L's bff Ryan) scheduled on Sunday. With grandparents, 2 aunts, 2 uncles, 5 cousins, and 1 best friend with her family-it was totally a party!! We grilled, swam, played in the new sandbox, and opened presents. It was actually pretty perfect.
At 3 Lofton is still a sweet natured, hysterical, smart, and beautiful child. We have seen a few hints (maybe more than a few...) of attitude which I hear comes with the territory, but overall she is very well behaved and a joy to be around. She is ALL girl as this phase will definitely be known for the twirling. I plan to do an entire post on twirling soon :) She is still tiny weighing 25.5lbs (4th%) and 35.25in (13th%) and wearing mostly 2T's and a size 7 shoe.

the cake...my former self would have never bought a grocery store cake with plastic princesses on it, but you know what. it's not about me, it's about her and my little doll thought it was WONDERFUL!
birthday girl!

the perfection of the cake is proven by the fact that she changed out of her swimsuit and into a rapunzel dress...
and the tutus!
"Mom! This one is SO twirly!"
can't imagine life without you my little doll. we love you to the moon and back!
