Alexa: My Dad Rocks!

Oh, yes he does! And our Alexa is the cutest baby in the world! Check out all this cuteness... It's too much to handle! Too much cuteness!

Alexa's first Christmas!

After a nice breakfast and a nap for Alexa, we got ready for Alexa to open her presents! Not surprisingly, she had the MOST gifts under the tree!

Mommy and Daddy with Alexa on Christmas morning.

Alexa's first present...

A Bumbo chair from Mommy & Daddy!

Alexa's second present...

A stocking from Aunt Kelly -- with Alexa's name on it!

Another present -- Pink bunny booties from Aunt Jen and Tio Dani!

Look at all these presents!

What's next?

Aunt Kelly helps Alexa open a gift... A pink hat and princess footie!

Yes, Alexa, girls can wear blue too!

Oooh, check out this hair bow!

It came in a cute pink suitcase with other hair bows, a polka dot bird bib, burp cloth and blankie! Thanks Aunt Chimmy!

Yum, bibs are good for eating!

Wait, I'm not supposed to EAT the bib?

I'll just find something else to eat! Like... this rattle!

Look at all these things I can eat!

But the best part of Christmas is seeing my family, like Aunt Jen!

What a great first Christmas!

Earlier in the day, while Alexa was napping... The adults opened gifts!

Here is Daddy opening his gift from Alexa!

And here is Daddy and Grandpa with footprint mugs that Alexa made for them!

And here I am opening the best gift ever...

A adult sized footie! Of course I had to try it on...

It came with a matching footie for Alexa! Holy cozy!

Later in the day...

We enjoyed Christmas dinner!

And took more pictures. Here is Alexa with Mommy and Aunt Jen!

And her is your final Christmas picture... Alexa with her stocking!

Alexa's first Christmas Eve!

Alexa with her mommy and two aunts... All ready for Christmas Eve!

Our family's tradition is to trim the tree together. Since my sister and her husband and my mom just arrived late yesterday, we waited and decorated the tree together Christmas Eve. Look at our nice tree!

Another family tradition is our Christmas Eve poker game! Here is Alexa giving Daddy some advice on how to play his first hand. It must have given him good luck because long after she had gone to bed, Daddy won!

Daddy's little girl!

Daddy is off of work and home for the holidays, so he's gotten to spend a lot of time with Alexa this week! Here is a wonderful collection of pictures of Alexa with her daddy. Below pictures taken this week.

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:

And here are the babies! Click HERE to watch a video!

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.
