Hello all! Alexa has had a few exciting firsts lately. Here they are:

She got a new toy!

She had baby food.

And got a new bottle she can hold herself!! Big girl!

Alexa just came back from her 4 month appointment and the doctor says she is perfect! She is 27 inches tall (99th %!!!) and 14 lbs. (60th%). He also saw her playing with her feet and said she was "precocious" because that is a 5 month skill! She will be starting baby food soon, so we will let you know how that goes!

happy new year!

Hey everyone! It's been a while... I'm sorry... If anyone was in Miami they know how busy our days were. They were filled with friends and family from start to finish, which was a blessing and such a great time! We finally came back to Tampa and crashed! So... here is a summary of our trip! (Warning: Lots of pictures to follow!)

I met a bunch of new family!



I love looking at Grammy and Papa's Christmas trees.



We hung out at Uncle Andrew and Aunt Shannon's new house and made Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve.



I went to Church and my first big party on Christmas Eve!


Here I am at Abuela's party!




I wrote a letter to Santa...




and I must have been a good girl because he wrote me back...



and brought me this!



My Grandpa and Yami came to visit me Christmas morning.



I had a great time opening up presents with my Papa, Grammy, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Shannon and Uncle Andrew.



My first Christmas present was a piano from Aunt Shannon and Uncle Andrew. So perfect coming from them! My Aunt Shannon has a great voice and sings me to sleep! Mommy misses having her around!

I got Baptized! My new Godparents are Aunt Shannon, Uncle Andrew, and Aunt Melissa. I wore my Great-Great-Grandmother's Baptism dress.








And I rung in the new year! (For me, that means I got to stay up until 8:00! Don't worry, Mommy and Daddy snuck in to give me a midnight kiss!)



Phew! It was a long, exciting, trip! I'm tired now... Goodnight all!
