She is so sweet…when she sleeps.

Check out Moxie’s new winter hat!
Many of you have commented on the craziness that is Moxie’s mop. Well, we thought we would treat you all to an especially stand up performance by those sweet brown locks.
Last night was bath night. She really needed it. She had full on cheese neck, dirty finger nails, troll toe nails and her hair was out of control. As we were drying her off I thought it would be funny to comb her hair into a little mohawk. Here’s how that looked:
 |
| She’s very serious about her look. Her parents aren’t. |
When she went to bed she played with her hair while nursing, as she always does, and went to bed. She didn’t sleep super well (we are thinking a growth spurt/teething combo) but, what the photo below indicates, she definitely didn’t touch any electrical outlets.
 |
| This isn’t static. It’s an anti-gravity field around her dome. |
Anyway, her hair has been the topic of many a conversation and we would like to keep it that way. Anything to divert attention to her monster feet.
Homegirl has hit two major milestones. Did she roll over? No. Did she sit up all by herself? No. Did she eat solid food? Nope. BUT she did double her body weight–born 8 lbs and weighed in this morning at a hefty 16 lbs! Also, she is 4 months old! Technically she is 17 weeks but we are just going by the date. For those of you uncomfortable with that kind of inaccuracy–suck it.
Here’s some pictures! Hardcore Moxie followers will notice that we chose different pictures for months 0-3–we want to keep our fans happy.

| Again, clear bassinets–brilliant. |
 |
| She’s trying to wink. |
 |
| You’ll notice these pants make several appearances. |
 |
| Told you so. |
 |
| Big 4 Months! |
 |
| Her hair couldn’t be contained. |
We spent New Year’s Day with Hannah and Ruby at the aquarium. We saw a puffin feeding, fish feeding, a skink, and lots of other awesomeness. We even saw a dolphin show–though no one got wet (despite Ruby and Strider sitting in the “splash zone”). Ruby and Hannah were both amazing. Ruby was a super trooper and changed all three of Moxie’s diapers, carried her around and showed her the fish and took being puked on like a champ. Hannah was super fun and cheerful even though she got a max of 3 hours sleep the night before. Oh–also–if you ever need a good friend–Hannah’s it. Ask all those cats who got home safe on New Year’s Eve.
 |
| These two don’t like each other at all. |
 |
| Ruby got initiated into the club with a huge load of Moxie spit up. |
 |
| Us versus Sharks |
 |
| Hmmm |
 |
| She grabbed all the essentials: gummy snake, slinky, and a shocked expression |
 |
| Bring on the fish! |
 |
| Taking in the sights. |
 |
| Coral is so dumb. We are so glad it is dying all over the world. |
 |
| Puffin feeding. Try to find Ruby. |
 |
| Yay for fish! |
 |
| Sharks! |
 |
| Reading the fun facts. |
 |
| Moxie said what?! |
 |
| documenting the adventure |
 |
| Moxie is good at communicating with dolphins. |
 |
| Jelly Fish! |
 |
| French fry break waiting for the dolphin show. |
 |
| beautiful! |
This New Year’s we spent the occasion with our darling super friends Tracy, Josh, Ari, and Noa. Moxie was only up for a couple hours–actually only 1.5 hours–then she went to bed. The grown ups ate wings, drank bourbon, and played poker. It was really great. Here’s the poker winnings: 1. Strider, 2. Tracy, 3. Josh, and, finally, 4. me.
