The Dorsey-Lees and Ricci’s went to see the famous cherry blossoms. Unfortunately the blossoms weren’t interested in meeting us. Punks.
The lack of cherry blossoms didn’t stop us from taking pictures though. Nothing can stop that.
Moxie is 7 months! She sits up really well, dances a little, claps, waves, and is working on her first tooth. This month we have started music class (which she loves) and eating more fun foods (including more solid-ish foods like sweet potato, broccoli, and baby puffs). She’s becoming quite a little kid and her personality is starting to show. She likes attention, flirts with strangers, and loves the dogs.
Strider snapped some shots of Moxie and I playing recently. Moxie is absolutely happiest in the am. Here’s proof.
Moxie and I got to hang with the funky bunch. It was really great. Noa was sweet enough to bring Mox a whole bunch of stuffed animals. She’s got some cool toys.
Well, Moxie got an influx of awesome bath toys to add to her collection. She even got some water.
This is from a couple weeks ago: Moxie has been having some grumpy times. She isn’t grumpy often and it is usually right before bed. She is really a very happy baby but every once in a while she flexes her grump muscles. This time the grump came out when I tried to take her octopus away. Serious mistake. Sweet girl nursed and fell asleep clutching her bright orange friend. She takes her love of sea creatures quite seriously.
Back in May last year a bunch of wonderful friends decorated onsies for Mox. Yesterday she sported one made by her darling Aunt Roxann. I think the major lesson Rox is teaching Mox is: let your butt do the talking.
Yesterday, after several fussy nights, we finally got to see some enamel! There is a teeny tiny bit of white peeking out from her bottom gum. We tried to get some pictures but no luck. Here’s a couple cute pictures sans tooth.
Moxie’s new favorite bath toy is a little green sea horse. She kept hold of it even after her bath. Strider got a few pictures of her trying to bite his head off.
Update on the sea horse: Pili stole him and now he lives outside. He is happy there. We think.
For those of you interested: Strider is now officially Dr. Zachary Strider McGregor-Dorsey!!! We are so so proud. We can’t wait to have him home tomorrow night to celebrate!
