Great day at Norwood Park!

We discovered a great new park today! It's about 5 minutes from our house. We met a bunch of Alexa's baby friends -- Drew, Ezra and Brandon -- and their parents there for a play date. The babies were hilarious! They fought over the water bottles, drank from the wrong sippey cups, stole each others toys and crawled all over!

Drew even tried hitting on Alexa. But she crawled away! Go Alexa!

A wonderful day with friends in Bethesda

Today was a busy but wonderful day! We walked into town to meet Coleen, Andrew and their baby Drew for lunch. Blythe and Avery joined us as well! Alexa and Drew had wonderful time eating snacks in their high chairs. What good little babies!

After lunch, we walked to Bethesda Row for a street festival called Imagination Kids. At the festival, we ran into friends Mary Clare and Catherine! It's been a long time since Alexa has seen her old friend Catherine. Look how big she's grown!

What a wonderful day. It was hot, and so Alexa slept really well! Yay!

Alexa sees her first Cherry Blossoms!

What a great day! Alexa and I met up with the women from my mom's group for lunch. Then we all walked down the Capitol Crescent Trail to see the Cherry Blossoms at Kenwood. It was amazing, all the trees abloom. So beautiful!

The babies took a nap during the walk. Then, we all sat on blankets on the grass while the babies played. Alexa wore her sun hat and played with her plastic car keys. What a nice time!

Finally, a shot of Alexa and Mommy with the Cherry Blossom trees! What a great day!

Alexa had a great time. What a happy baby!

Babies! Holy cute babies!

Alexa and I started the day with a good Stroller Strides workout. Then we headed over to my friend Blythe's house for a mom's group get-together. Before we all left, we piled the babies onto the couch!

First, the girls! Anjali, Alexa and Ella. Check out how Alexa and Anjali are holding hands. They did that on their own. So cute!

All the babies in a row!

(L to R: Brandon, Avery, Anjali, Alexa, Ella and Drew)

Brandon & Drew hanging out with Ella & Alexa, then Drew pushes Alexa and Brandon aside and goes after Ella! So funny!

Then Ella went after Drew's hat! Brandon attempted to come to the rescue... But Alexa wasn't having any of it. Enough baby play! (Even when she cries, Alexa is so darn cute!)

MORE Babies! Alexa has so many friends!

Today we had another big play date! This time, it was a lunch get-together with six other current and former AP moms. Our seven babies ranged in age from 12 days to 4 months, including three girls and four boys. Alexa (14 weeks today!) was the third oldest, after Luke and Catherine.

Here are the babies sleeping in their car seats when we first got there...

And now, here are ALL the babies!

Left to right: Will, Catherine, Luke, Alexa, Eli, Brooklyn and Harry!

Below are few close-ups of the older babies...

After all the excitement of the photo shoot, Alexa and Catherine had a good time playing with Luke's toys!

Later, at home, Alexa relaxed on her chair.

Babies! Lots of Babies! VIDEO LINKS BELOW!

Today was my LAST mom's group meeting! So sad. The group, called PACE, meets for eight weeks with the idea that we'll continue to meet after the formal session ends. We already have a play date set for this Friday and another in January! So, hopefully, we'll stay in touch.

Here are 9 of the 11 moms and babies who were in my group:

More adorable pictures of the babies... Pictured below (left to right) is Ella, Alexa, her birthday twin Avery who was also born on 9-9-09, and the youngest in the group, Anjali.

Also today, my sister gave Alexa a bottle!

Then Alexa had dance time on her activity mat! Click HERE and HERE for videos of her dancing! She apparently likes Beyonce and is getting closer to turning over!

And then, we went for a walk...

And picked out a Christmas tree...

And lit more Hanukkah candles! Alexa got a beautiful silver snow globe from Grandma E!

Later, at home, Alexa relaxed on her chair.

Lunch with Cobb & Catherine!

Monday was a nice relaxing day. We met Cobb and Catherine and their moms for lunch in Bethedsda, then went across the street and painted more pottery! Here we are with our babies!

Alexa and Catherine's play date!

Oh my cuteness! Will you look at these over the top adorable babies?! I went over to my friend's house today and we let the babies "play" -- Look at them! So cheerful and full of energy! What happy babies!

They LOVED this colorful toy ball!

And, if you noticed above, Alexa is wearing her new Baby Legs! I got them a while back but didn't think they would fit her. Well, I saw a mom at the baby sling class last Friday with her newborn baby in them and I couldn't wait to try them! How cute is she?! I mean... How CUTE?!
