Alexa meets more family!

We had a wonderful family-filled day today! Alexa's grandma took the train down from New Jersey for a quick visit. And Alexa's great aunt and cousins, who were in Washington for a family trip, came by as well. Alexa loved meeting all her new cousins, especially gal cousin Kayla and birthday buddy Jake (also born on Sept. 9)!

Here is Alexa with Great Aunt Phyl, Jake and Kayla!


And here is Alexa with cousin Kayla, whose middle name is Alexis. How cool!


Aunt Andy and Alexa, how cute!


Grandma, look at how many fingers I can stuff into my mouth!


On Daddy's shoulder! Yeah!

The. Cutest. Baby. EVER!!!!

Holy cuteness, check out our little princess! This is Alexa's FIRST time wearing jeans! It's also her FIRST time wearing a ribbon in her hair! More of both to come. Because. Duh. She is just so stinkin' cute. Makes you just wanna pick her up and squeeze her tight!

Alexa loves tummy time

Not all babies like tummy time. Or so I am told. By other mommies. Alexa, however, happens to LOVE being on her tummy! She holds her head up and looks around and just has a ball!

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!


Click HERE for a video of Alexa's first Christmas!

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!
