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.

Moxie has discovered the fun of chewing washcloths.  Previously bathing Moxie required two washcloths: one for her body and one for her head.  Now we need three.  Moxie grabs the first wet washcloth she can get her hands on and chews and sucks on it from beginning of bath all the way through to getting on her PJs.  It is really cute and hopefully harmless.  It’s ok to eat baby soap right?

We had our family pictures taken by our dear friend Becky.  Her darling little boy is Moxie’s crush Owen (he’s 9 months old, beautiful blue eyes, and an expert crawler).  Anyway, Becky was kind enough to come over to our place and take pictures of our zany bunch.  Bibi was there to help with logistics and we snapped a few pictures of her too.

Moxie skipped her nap that morning so she wasn’t as cheery as she usually is.  However, Becky worked her magic and got some cutie-patootie-ness to come through.

Here’s some of our favorites:
