She's here!

Lexi Elise Bassett has arrived! It's been almost a week now but parents know how it goes. We're just smothering her with love. Lexi weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 11 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. A whole pound bigger than big sister, Keira. I hear they get bigger as you have more. Yikes! She is such a joy and such a wonderful baby. We love being a family of 4 and love having Daddy home to be with us. Here are some pictures especially for those who don't receive picture messages on their phones. So sorry!
Lexi Elise born Aug 6 at 7:53 am
We think Keira thought Lexi was a play doll. It took her a couple of days to realize she was real.Our first visitor at the hospital (this was taken at home because I forgot to get one at the hospital - whoops!)Aunt Leslie with cousins Brinley & Brigham (Uncle Cade is working in Spokane - sure missed him though)Sisters are so cute!Of course, we had to get Keira her own baby doll because she can smother this one all she wants.

We sure missed you at the reunion but so happy that this is why! She is so cute. She looks so different than Keira! It will be interesting see if she will have her own look. I do know that she is precious! Wow, a family of 4!!! It's crazy. So happy for you. Thanks for sharing the pics. I've been anxious to see her!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are such a beautiful mom and Keira looks like the most precious BIG sister ever. Oh and little (or should I say big) Lexi is perfect and such a chunk of baby! It was my 2nd baby that made us feel like a real family... it just seemed so official and crazy! Good luck with your 2 babies... I can't wait to see you in about a week! Love you!

Congrats on Lexi!! I LOVE that name. I hear it's easier than people think when the second comes. Hope everything goes smooth with the transition.

Obviously that wasn't Ty, it was me. I was on his computer and didn't realize he was still logged in. My bad.

The Holyoaks said...

Wow, I was like "I didn't know Ty could sound so girly!" Leah and Rick - she's a beautiful baby!!! Penny was a whole pound heavier than Macy too. I hope you aren't right about them being bigger every time because I'm not about to have a 10 pound baby! OUCH! You look great just like you did last time. Love you!
