Kelli



Kelli needed a little break from being at home with her new little one Whitney so she packed up the kiddos & came down too have a little fun with us. Our littlest ones are only 2 weeks apart. So there are 4 grandkids all GIRLS...we may get some DRAMA in the next few years...but they are all sweet & precious. Thanks Kelli for coming down for some much needed company.

Mommy Time




With two little ones I have really learned what "Mommy Time" is. Something I love...Kali loves to do hair & it is something she can do while I feed lexi. She has come up with quite the do's. She combs, clips, rats, poofs & starts all over again...I just love her personality. Lexi loves to laugh & play to so we do lots of it through the long Winter months!!

Valentines Day


Kali has really became our social little butterfly. She has play group everynow & again with some of her little friends, and it has been fun to see her learning to interact with other little girls.

Kali's first Valentine Day box...She decorated it all by herself :) and loved when all the kids in the neighborhood left goodies on the door...And she especially enjoyed delivering her own goodies.

Grandma & Grandpa Delange




These are two of my favorite people. They are the kind that always make you feel welcome, needed & most important loved. These are my mom's parents they live down south but they always make an effort to come up and see us up "North" as they would say. They come up to see Lexi for the first time & or course they brought Kali a King Sized Candy Bar...we always called them the Candy Grandparents...

Great-Grandpa Carter passed away





Brian's Grandpa Carter passed away yesterday morning around 9:50 am in the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. He had gotten an infection 2 days prior to him passing away in his pic line from Dyalis. And it was his time to be taken back to our Father in Heaven. Earl was a man of Integrity, Honesty, Kindness, Very soft spoken, and had many Christlike attributes. He will be very missed by his family. Brian has been lucky just living up the street from him his entire life and has many memories of Grandpa!!

6 weeks




Wow where has the time gone. Lexi will be 6 weeks in 3 days. So I thought while I had a minute I would tell you want she has been up to. Well she is starting to smile, really starting to notice everything around here...especially here clothes in her closet when I am changing her. She is quite ticklish...

She is such a good baby. She sleeps 5 to 6 hours at night waking up to eat then right back to bed till morning. Takes a bath in the morning then sleep for about 1 1/2 hours. Then in the afternoon sleep for about 3 hours. Then awake most of the night, cat naps here and there...She has been a joy. Kali has been such a great Big Sister looking out for her every step of the way. :)

We did have one scare the other night when Lexi was choking on some milk. She turned blue, head, lips & fingers...it was a really scary moment. Since then I have learned infant CPR, really realized how precious these little ones are and that they are
100 % dependent on Mom & Dad...Wow we really had to work hard to get her to breath. Lexi you are a joy & a blessing in our family!!

Cupcakes




WOW!! Don't Sunday's get long...Especially in the Winter months, Especially with a new baby...I feel like we are running out of things to do INSIDE!! Plus all of our family & friends have some sort of cold or sickness so we haven't been able to take Lexi anywhere...So we have been baking, playing, watching movies, playing Go Fish, Candyland, Chutes & Ladders...humm listening to music, playing dress up, did I mention we need some SUNSHINE.... :)

Kali Reading to Lexi



This may be the cutest thing. Kali will sit and ready books to Lexi and Lexi will just sit and listen. Lexi is really alert & has a good Big Sister to play with. I love seeing the 2 of them interact.

BYU Basketball Game



Well it would be the month of January without Cougar Basketball. And this year would be a hard one to miss out on. Lexi loved her first game, she slept ate and even managed to get a photo.

One Month Old


Wow the time sure does fly by. Have two little girls is such a joy. Busy but wonderful. Lexi is sure growing fast. She has started to smile and has found her hand. She is doing a little babbling and keeping Kali on her toes. She is eating 3 to 3 1/2 oz of food and sleeping from about 10 to 3 and 3 to 6. We couldn't ask for better.

Makenzie Metcalf

Baby Metcalf has arrived. She was born yesterday at 5:30pm. She weighed 7lbs and was 20 inches long. She is adorable. Mom & Dad are doing great. I am happy to say Marci & I will be the favorite aunts. Kali can't wait to see her. Since the swine flu is around they are not letting anyone under the age of 14 be in the hospital. It broke my heart that Kali couldn't be there. I am sure they will grow up being great friends. We are so excited for the new addition to the Pratt family. Enjoy some pictures!! She is adorable

Sweet Baby GIRL

How precious are her hands...I just love this picture.

WOW

That was sure a lot of posting...Note to self..Don't wait so long to post.

Boots

Kali has been really wanting some boots. Each time she goes into my closet she says mom I want some boots like yours. So I picked her up so the other day that where cheap...They probably won't last long but I thought they were cute & she loves them.. She also told me that day she wanted to where a sweater...lol

From Baby To Little GIRL

I have been wanting to move Kali into a twin bed. So I finally got around to doing it. My little sister Marci gave Kali her bedroom set. So I painted it and put new hard ware on the dresser & night stand. It was a really fun project, Brian helped my out a lot as well. Thanks Babe!

My whole idea when doing Kali's room as a baby is that I would be able to use a lot of the same things and turn it into a little girls room. I didn't want a teenage room just yet so here is what he got. I think it turned out really well. She has been in a bed for about a week now and has done so good. Not much different from the crib. I have heard stories so I was a bit nervous. But I think she was ready and transitioned really well. She just turned 2 1/2.


Here was her crib. I kept the same green was a all her decorations and just changed things around to make them little girl & not baby. Wow they grow up so fast. I was at first a little sad. But she was so happy about her new bed. Each faze in life brings great happiness. I just love all the stages..
