Moxie just scored some stacking crayons from a consignment sale. Actually, when I bought them, I didn’t realize they were crayons. I just thought they were cones. Well Moxie doesn’t care if they are crayons–she cares that you can stack them. More fun that stacking them on the floor? Stacking them on Strider’s fingers.
But Mox isn’t. She loves it. She yells “No!” Which means “snow!”
At last month’s baby brunch we went to a friend’s house and got to see a puppy. We also did a toddler activity swap. It was awesome. Moxie made out like a bandit. We contributed button snakes.
Moxie is eating a more diverse diet than I did until grad school. Who knows that that means in terms of her eating habits later but it is fun to see her try new things.
Moxie had to have an EEG. She’s fine. Don’t anyone worry. But it was quite an adventure. She had to fall asleep at the beginning of the test at 1:30. So Strider and I woke her up at 4 and kept a fun party going all day. We went to Gymboree, walked the dogs, had lunch, ran around, all kinds of stuff. Luckily she fell asleep immediately and slept until the strobe light portion of the adventure. That part she hated. But at the end she was happy and really liked the two finger puppets the nurse gave her.
Moxie has really enjoyed going to our music together classes. She started when she could just sit and now runs and dances and sings. Here’s a picture with her teacher from the last day of her first class and the last day of her most recent class.
This weekend we bought a kitchen from ikea for Moxie. Strider put it together and we blew her mind this afternoon. She LOVES it!!
Merry Christmas!!
Moxie sure is cute sometimes. Like today.
Well, Moxie is 17 months old and more of a person every day. She likes to dance, sing, read books, and play with her monkey. She has more signs and words–mostly related to animals. Moxie’s first chore is feeding the dogs. She is very careful to put scoopfuls of food in each of their bowls. She is teething–we think molars. Dad did her hair 🙂
