Lexi turns ONE

This may be one of my most favorite pictures of Lexi. My sister in law, Tiffany does an amazing job. Look at her work on the side of my blog. Lexi just turned one on December 23, 2011...its hard to believe that she is one. She has brought so many happy moments to our famiy. She is a fun loving little girl. She walked at 10 months, 11 months she could go both up and down all the stairs, giving me a heart attack daily..but she just does it so I just accept it now. She is a little cruiser, some of the words she says are: Hi ( her most favorite word) mommy, daddy, bye, bye, attempting to say Kali that come out more like Ally. Ya (her 2nd favorite work) especially when offered food, she is our little begger. As if we don't feed her. lol She loves Kali and followers her everywhere. Kali is a super great big sister. I am so thankful they have fun together.

Ok I think I....

Ok well I am thinking I totally want back in the blogging world...I went to a bloggers conference that was so much fun...and if history repeats itself last time I really posted was when a baby was born, my sister in law is about to have a new little guy and I couldn't be more happy...So you heard it, I am going to start back blogging...I may even try and CATCH back up...ok WOW that is a commitment :)

Lexi is just about to turn 11 months...I can't believe it. She is walking all over the place, goes up and down the stairs, loves babies even carrys one around the house. Say's baby, momma, mommy, dad, daddy, hi, ya, she is full of fun. Kali is her Best friend and I love that they love each other. My kids are busy! But I wouldn't change it. Kali is loving pre school and wants to go to school everyday...mom surely is not ready for that! She learned to ride her bike this summer and has been really fun watching her. I just am so happy to be a mom and I am excited to blog AGAIN!!

4 Yrs Old 4 Months Old

Where oh where does the time go. I can't believe that Kali just turned four & Lexi about to turn 4 months. They are truly the joys of my life. Not a day goes by when I don't stop & think how lucky I am to be there mom & I know Dad feels the same way. They definitely keep us hopping. From one game, toy, coloring, dinner, lunch, bedtime, changing, feeding, rolling over you name it!! But they are becoming such great freinds. It has been so much to see them interact, and if Lexi makes it through Kali giving her more hugs & kisses than she can barley handle I am certain they will be the best of friends. Here are a few pictures I took on Kali's birthday.

Same Outfit

This is both Kali & Lexi in the same outfit. Kali is with the littler white bow & Lexi with the larger bow. Lexi was just a few days over 3 months and Kali was just a few days over 1 month. Crazy how different 2 kids can be. Many times I see so much of them in each other. They have some of the same mannerisms. And there looks are sometimes the same, but as you can see they look like sisters.

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.... :)

One of my Favorites

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.

Lexi Is Here

Lexi was born Dec 23rd what a great early Christmas present this was. She was 6lbs 14oz and 19 inches long. She was perfect. We couldn't feel more blessed to have 2 little girls.

It's Official

I Can't believe it has been this long since I have blogged...Don't worry I am still keeping up on what everyone else is doing. I think the last 7 months must have just been that exciting...lol But I am promising to start blogging again. I miss being able to look back and see what have a I been up to :) Just thought I would write it down, so then I would feel quilty for anyone who still checks this BLOG :). Posts coming soon.

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.
