Again, slightly late but still seriously cute. Moxie is a big deal in her 13th month–she loves walking, tickling people, and using more signs and words. She’s a toddler FOR SURE.

Super duper late? Yes. Super duper cute? Yes. 12 months!!
Darn it. Moxie’s boyfriend Owen and his family are skipping town. It has nothing to do with the warrants out for his arrest. Absolutely nothing. Our mama friends, and particularly the Hostess with the Mostess Alex threw a fabulous going away party. It was really fun.
You’ll notice in the last few pictures that Moxie has something stuck to her hand. Yep. Someone else’s snack cup. She stole it, reached in for a cheddar bunny, and got her fist stuck. For most of the party she had a cheddar bunny in her free hand and her other fist stuck in a cup. She didn’t mind too much though.
Also: forget I said anything about the warrants. Seriously.
(Part 2) We picked about 30 lbs of apples. crazy we know. We are making a vat of apple butter as we speak. Don’t hate.
We have recently discovered (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa) the awesomeness of mall play places. Recently we met up with some baby friends to hang out during a rainy afternoon. I am trying not to be “that mom” that freaks out about big kids running around and knocking over babies. I haven’t been that mom yet–but never say never.
We had Aunt Mary I come for a lovely visit. We spent our Saturday on the National Mall (before it closed) for the National Book Festival. Moxie was mostly interested in the grass. Aunt Mary I found her new favorite band and we all had a great time. Oh: and Moxie hated all the people dressed up as characters. Hated them.
Moxie and Blake had some fun times in pajamas. Most of it was spent with Moxie trying to tickle Blake. He was quite patient with her. She even went in for her giant open mouth kisses. Cute for us–slimy for Blake.
We got to rock Gymboree and delicious Nando’s Peri Peri chicken with our dear friends Owen, Becky and Brian. We are going to miss them so much. Note: the little girl trying to move in on Owen. Punk.
Moxie and Merrill were supposed to wear matching dresses this summer for an event. Well, it didn’t happen but Merrill and her family were together/amazing enough to send Mox her dress anyway. We don’t have many fancy occasions these days so playing with leaves got real fancy. Thank you so much to the Bowman’s for sending the dress.
A few weeks ago we got invited to our friend Ari’s Super Hero Birthday! It was wonderful. Moxie doesn’t have a super hero costume so she wore a dish towel as a cape. It worked. Sort of.
Strider had just gone to a concert the night before at the 9:30 Club and brought back this onsie. It made sense–super heroes always go see the latest music.
Aunt Mary I took Moxie around the room while the bigger kids played games like “Run into the foam wall” and “Do flips on the bars.” Maybe next year Mox.
