Vroom vroom

Oh FOM (friends of mox)! We are so lame and have been complete failures of keeping you supplied with news and updates on our sweet girl. Guess what! She’s started driving. Ah how time flies! Big thanks to Jacque and Doug for giving Moxie this car (just after she was born actually) and to Strider for getting it all cleaned up. Grandma and I took Moxie out and she dragged Main for a while showing off to all the boys. Moxie’s neighbor friend Ollie will be home from te beach soon and the two of them can go for sidewalk drives. They will wear seat belts. Don’t worry.

Second Favorite Toy

Posted on 2013-08-042018-04-10 by jesslee

Moxie has two favorite toys: the piano and the dog water bowl. Now that she can crawl that’s the two places she goes. The dogs aren’t super excited about it and neither are we–but she is a woman who makes up her own mind.

Dad’s Shoes

Sometimes I think we forget how small Moxie is. She occupies such a large space in our life but, turns out she’s wee. I am constantly surprised when I see a picture of Moxie in relation to other things: myself, the dog, or, in this case, Strider’s shoes.

Kale Baby

Our CSA is handing us A LOT of kale. Luckily Moxie is wild about it. Here’s proof:

You will notice a wide range of other finger foods on her plate: noodles, cucumber, and beets. She’s a great eater so far (knock on wood).

Independence!

Happy Fourth From the Dorsey-Lees!

Mid parade snack break

Too pooped to pop

Observers

Moxie slept through the fireworks start to finish. She did wake up for the walk home though.

Bike Riding

Posted on 2013-07-102018-04-10 by jesslee

Moxie got an iBert bike seat from Bibi and Babu (at the suggestion of Kristin and Glenn). We had a fabulous time riding around the neighborhood. She doesn’t love her helmet yet but we are working on it.

At first she was just curious about what has happening. Then when she started to move she got a little nervous. Finally, after a few minutes and she got used to the wind in her face, she really started smiling. Now she wants to race the bigger kids on the block.

Twin Sleepers

(found this at the bottom of my posts–talk about a blast from the past)

On Sunday morning Strider let me have a couple hours of extra sleep. He and Moxie hung out for a while (she was super fussy–we think teething related) and they spent time in the living room. Well, Moxie calmed down and the two of them fell asleep. Turns out they are synchronized sleepers. I walked out to the living room and what did I find? These two twin sleepers all covered up and stretched out with matching bed head too. Moxie was asleep until I turned on the camera. The only way you can tell them apart is the pacifier.

Five Year Anniversary

Posted on 2013-07-102018-04-10 by jesslee

Strider and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary by going out as a family for Indian food. It was wonderful. Moxie got to have saag and korma and naan and rice. Oh we did too.

Moxie, in her usual style, made best friends with all the waiters and the restaurant owner. She sat in her lobster and yelled for her friends.

For those who braved the post all the way to the bottom. Here’s a few more photos:

Post Bath Emotions

We work through a lot of emotions after a bath. It is a lot of work.

10 Months!

Posted on 2013-07-102018-04-10 by jesslee

Check it out friends! Moxie is 10 months! She crawls all over the place, claps for herself, walks with a walker, eats all kinds of things and enjoys her piano.
