Two Two Year Olds!

To say that the past two years have been exciting would be an understatement! Having two babies at once is probably the coolest thing I will ever do. From the moment that I heard the sweet sound of them crying in the OR I was in love with my tiny baby girls. We endured more NICU life and this time around it was even harder with a 1 year old at home. We handled two cleft palate surgeries and recovered. Even with such big ups and downs we have made the most of the past two years and Alexis and Rebecca are amazing, sweet, adorable, huggable little toddlers now! I can easily speak for Zach when I say that we truly were blessed to have this miracle enter our life. Two sets of feet kicking my ribs, two sets of hands reaching for Mommy, two hungry mouths to feed, 40 fingers and toes to count, two beautiful personalities to play with or contend with, really I could go on all day but double everything really is a bonus of the greatest kind!
Alexis Nalani or Lexi is so much fun to have around! She is somewhat of a mini comedian and always makes us laugh. It is also such a surprise to see how brave and adventurous she is. She is the leader and she has the take charge kind of spirit. She is also so polite! She never forgets to thank us for the things we do even the little things. Lexi is my good eater, my good sleeper and basically has been pretty easy going and just so lovable!
Rebecca Leahi or Becca is my little pet. She is a Mommies girl or Daddies girl but like to be close either way. Becca is shy, a follower and will wait for Lexi to test the water before she will go near. Becca is non negotable, things are the way she wants it or you better watch out! She loves to be tickled and can be so sweet! She has recently turned into a little chatter box with so much to say. Becca can make you smile by just thinking about her little spitfire ways. She really is the opposite of her sister but they make a great balance. I couldn't be a luckier Mommy!
