Here are two videos of Moxie crawling.  It’s a whole new world folks.  She can get anywhere!  We have really had to up our game recently.  No more hot glue guns, curling irons, or broken glass laying around anymore. The first video is her first time crawling.  The second is more recent–she’s doing much better.  She does an asymmetrical move that she learned from her friend at daycare.  It’s weird but it gets her around the house and into trouble.

She can now walk with her little cart from ikea. Footage to prove it soon. 


So excited to be back in Colorado!  This piece is a long time coming–we were actually out in Colorado in early May.  It has taken us this much time to come down from all the Rocky Mountain High.  We spent a few days in Colorado Springs at the LR&R and then a couple nights closer to Boulder to celebrate the graduations of Jonathan, Laura, and Chris.  We are so proud and so happy we got to participate. 

Moxie’s feet barely touched the ground.  She had a great time meeting friends and causing trouble.  She’s a social girl and she loves her some attention.  Boy. She got it.  She keeps asking when we will go back again.  Dad and I just aren’t fun enough.

Bibi let’s Moxie take a nap on the big kid bed. But that means Bibi has to stay there with her… grandparents: willing to be inconvenienced by babies.

Finally got to hang with Aunt Roxann–the woman she was named after.

Feeding Moxie took a village.  A very distracting village.

Kai had a really good time. He is the cutest kid EVER.  These are his chocolate teeth.

Lauren and Moxie discuss bike riding in Denver.

Roxann and Moxie are completely shocked.

So nice to share!

Kik and Moxie get in a fight.

They both care a lot about what you are saying.

Moxie has been taking some swimming lessons.  One of the moms in my group teaches.  We go to a DC public pool and hang out with her baby friends, throw her in the pool, and see how it goes.  So far it has gone really well.  We still have a baby.  Actually we don’t throw her in.  We sing songs, help her float on her back, help her get used to having her face underwater, you know that stuff.  
Man.  She is so stinking cute in a swim suit.
