Matching jammies

Posted on 2015-06-172018-04-10 by jesslee

Bibi is the provider of all jammies in the Dorsey-Lee home. Literally all our children’s sleepwear is provided by her. She’s got good taste. Here are the sweet punk rockers in matching twiga jammies. Please ignore Strider’s foot in some of them.

Keen is not impressed by Mox pretending to pick her nose. Bibi is just happy to be surviving her week in MD.

I like the poke in the eye at the end.

Rice Krispy Treats

Posted on 2015-01-212018-04-10 by jesslee

At my request Bibi and Moxie made rice krispy treats. Oh the amazingness. Moxie really likes helping with cooking. She has this fabulous kitchen stool (gift from cousin Ginger and Claire) and she is learning to be careful around the stove. She likes measuring things, carefully pouring, and is definitely interested in mixing. She is now the proud owner of two aprons (thanks Grandpa and Grandma AND Aunt Roxann) and likes to rock them while cooking.

Bye Bye Bibi

Holy crap. We are on our own again. Bibi got here two days before Keen was born and stayed for her first 14 days of life. She helped keep Moxie on her routine, kept us fed and clothed, and was an amazing help. We got off to a great start. Thanks Bibi. Sorry we gave you an awful-one-red-eye-cold and you almost cut off your finger.

Keen's first bath

Posted on 2015-01-192018-04-10 by jesslee

We had double first baths this week. Keen lost the last of her umbilical cord so she got a bath and Deuce (a dog toy that looks like Samantha’s bull terrier) got one too! We saved the baby bath stuff from the hospital and Moxie got to play along. Both Keen and Deuce escaped super clean.

Keen didn’t love the bath–more tolerated it. She kept her hands in fists and had a stink eye expression the whole time.

Moxie took her work very seriously.

Everyone will recognize the Johnson and Johnson baby bath. Mamas will recognize the squeeze bottle.

Post bath nose pick.

“Seriously dad?”

After her bath we noticed that Keen’s hair has just a tiny bit of curl to it.

The Big Reveal

On Sunday, January 4th, just after nap time Moxie and Bibi came to the hospital to meet Keen. Strider met them at the hospital entrance and Moxie came with a gift for her new baby sister (a soft monkey lovie). Moxie was a little nervous to be in a new place but as soon as she saw Keen in the basinet she ran to her and asked to hold her. She wasn’t shy about adjusting the baby’s hat, playing with her feet, and didn’t mind that Keen fussed a little.

Egg Hunt 2014

Posted on 2014-06-152018-04-10 by jesslee

Bibi and Babu came to town a couple weeks ago and helped us host an epic egg hunt for friends. Our wonderful neighbors with a fabulous backyard offered to let us use their space. So we “hid” over 100 eggs and drank mimosas and ate delicious food while the kids hunted. The kinds of prizes included in the eggs were: dinosaurs, animals, raisins, chalk, race cars, dollar coins (!), and other toddler friendly stuff. Each kid got a bank too.

It was an absolutely wonderful day and we appreciated everyone coming out to play.

Trains!

While Bibi and Babu were here we finally made it to the train ride at Wheaton Regional Park to check out the train and carousel. The weather was amazing, Moxie LOVED running around and playing on the train and horses. She also had her first snow cone. Big day of firsts: train, snow cone, mime school.
