Today was a big day for us! We drove up to New Jersey for Alexa's baby naming, held at the Temple where Daddy had his bar mitzvah. Alexa and another baby were named during the regular Shabat service. Basically, the Rabbi called us up to the front where he talked about Alexa's Hebrew name and who she's named for, then welcomed her to the Jewish community.
Alexa's Hebrew name is the most beautiful name ever! It's Zameret Aviva, chosen for her great grandmother Freida Singer and her uncle Alan. Zameret is the Hebrew word for Singer; Aviva means Spring, or renewal. So her Hebrew name means Spring Song. On this beautiful Spring day, it was a fitting name indeed!
Here is Alexa in her beautiful navy and white dress with Mommy and Daddy right before her naming. She looks nervous! Below are the three of us after her naming. Have you ever seen a more beautiful baby?! I didn't think so!
Everyone in Daddy's family was there, plus a bunch of Daddy's friends too! It was great to see everyone and introduce them all to our little princess. She was a hit!
Alexa was such a good baby. The service ran from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., which is Alexa's bed time. But she didn't cry! In fact, she had a ball. Here she is playing with her cousins!
