Christmas 2009!

So I am FINALLY putting up a few pictures and videos from Christmas. It was so great to see everyone! It was a very special time for all of us, especially for Ali, because she was finally able to spend some time with her cousins.


Ali with a big ol' smile on her face!


Kim and Adil hanging out with the Ali monster!



Kim and her niece!


Grandma Bev and two of her grandchildren!


All bundled up to see the lights!


Zoe hanging out with Ali!


Jason and Nelly with full stockings!


Christmas morning hike, a little running down the mountain!


New Years in Seattle with Dad, Michelle, Zoe, and Dana!


Grandma Bev playing with the little monkey!



Union Square in SF the night (or a few nights?) before Christmas!



And of course the classic family shot in front of the Christmas tree...

Nelly and Ali soaking up the view of Union Square from a dozen floors up!

Fathers and babies in the long line for a picture with Santa..

This is a video of Ali and I jumping on the trampoline.



This is a video of Ali during our hike on Christmas morning.

More Alison photos! Almost 9 months!

Ali hangin' out with her new best friend...

Now for a few videos!


Ali is standing up by herself for the first time!

This is a short clip that I took when Ali and I had our week alone together when Nelly was in Miami. I set up her hanging jumpy chair in the kitchen and she would just hang out with me while I was cooking.

Ali is standing up in her crib again, but this time she is a bit more confident.

This is just Ali hanging out in the kitchen.

A pair of sexy bellies, if I do say so myself!

Future Grizzly!

All smiles.

And just playin' on the bed!

It seems like Ali has just been growing like crazy this month. Both Nelly and I have commented to each other that we notice all sorts of little milestones...she sits up by herself in her stroller, she is just starting to crawl, and she can give herself her own bottle!
