While waiting for Tom and I to get delicious food at Max’s Strider and Moxie tried to take some selfies. Not sure if that is a word but there, I used it.
Our girl has a wonderful smile.
We had several adventures with our visiting friend. While Tom was here he and Jess decided to try oysters. We went to Union Market and things got crazy. Oyster crazy. We tried three different kinds. Tom gave them a thumbs up. Jess not so much.
Moxie, Ruby and I got to go to the White House Easter Egg Roll. Super. Freaking. Cool. Strider was in Colorado defending his dissertation so us girls made the trip. We rode the metro, ate food truck food, and waited in really long lines. Seriously. The lines were longer for this than the inauguration. We got to see some performances and also ate Peeps. YUM.
Ruby is a veteran Easter Egg Roller so she showed us the ropes. Moxie liked the grass and my water bottle best. My favorite part was the dance off I had with the President. I won.

Tom came to visit and it was wonderful. We played, ate delicious food (not Moxie), drank beers (not Moxie), and stayed up in the night having fabulous conversations (not Moxie or Jess).
Tom has plans that Moxie’s first word will be “caterpillar.” We are working on it.
We just stepped up our game in the baby food arena. We bought an Infantino Squeeze Station. You can google it to see how it is really supposed to work but here’s how we used it. The pouches we made came in two varieties–pea, zucchini, sweet potato and spinach, apple, pumpkin. Mox was a fan of both.
These little pouches are awesome. We have made a couple batches now and Moxie is learning to eat directly from spout. Strider is way better at feeding than I am but we might be onto something.
Uncle Owen was in town this weekend and we got to hang out. Moxie met Owen at Christmas but seemed to have momentarily forgotten this when he walked into the room on Friday and she cried at the sight of him. She warmed up quickly and ended up being besties.
I’m a member of a fabulous mom group called Takoma Mamas and recently we shared newborn pictures of our babies. It is fun to look back at how much little Moxie has grown. I put together this little collage of teeny Mox and wanted to share it with you all.
We had a wonderful weekend with Courtney and Steve visiting. Baby Ricci was there but he didn’t say much.
You know you are really good friends with people when you don’t worry about cleaning up your house before they come. We actually made it a little dirtier just to test the relationship.
