Peanut, peanut butter and JELLY

Posted on 2014-01-112018-04-10 by jesslee

Like father like daughter. Moxie is a HUGE fan of PB&J. She had her first one while visiting grandma and grandpa over thanksgiving. She’s had a few between. Tonight we grabbed dinner at the mall before hitting the indoor play place (livin’ last vida loca) for some shoe free fun time.

I ordered her a grilled cheese so she and I could split tomato soup and the sammy. They mixed up and Mox scored: white bread, peanut butter and grape jelly. The fact it was grape jelly instead of strawberry is the only reason Strider didn’t punch Mox and steal her dinner.

Anyway, homegirl loves it! She got special water (seltzer) in a cup with a straw, a tube of yogurt (strawberry flavor instead of the plain she usually gets, and her own sandwich.

You know, we do have a really good life.

Flight Home

After a crazy Colorado week we flew home. This is what it looked like:

Family Walk

Our walks usually start with Mox on a bike and then end with her pushing her bike or walking the dogs.

Playing Puppets

Moxie is figuring things out like how to play with puppets. With a little help from her dad of course.

Drawing Robots

We are sending thank you cards for all the thoughtful gifts and attention Moxie got for her first birthday. I wanted to draw robots on the back of the envelopes to give them a little extra something. My robot is a floating crappy box head and the ones Strider drew were, well, way better.

This is mine (above) and this is his (below)

Reaching the summit

Moxie climbed a mountain with a little help from her Grandparents and dad. She was so very proud of herself. Then she played on all the other things at the park. It was a good time and an even better nap afterwards.

Vroom vroom

Oh FOM (friends of mox)! We are so lame and have been complete failures of keeping you supplied with news and updates on our sweet girl. Guess what! She’s started driving. Ah how time flies! Big thanks to Jacque and Doug for giving Moxie this car (just after she was born actually) and to Strider for getting it all cleaned up. Grandma and I took Moxie out and she dragged Main for a while showing off to all the boys. Moxie’s neighbor friend Ollie will be home from te beach soon and the two of them can go for sidewalk drives. They will wear seat belts. Don’t worry.

Dad’s Shoes

Sometimes I think we forget how small Moxie is. She occupies such a large space in our life but, turns out she’s wee. I am constantly surprised when I see a picture of Moxie in relation to other things: myself, the dog, or, in this case, Strider’s shoes.

Independence!

Happy Fourth From the Dorsey-Lees!

Mid parade snack break

Too pooped to pop

Observers

Moxie slept through the fireworks start to finish. She did wake up for the walk home though.

Bike Riding

Posted on 2013-07-102018-04-10 by jesslee

Moxie got an iBert bike seat from Bibi and Babu (at the suggestion of Kristin and Glenn). We had a fabulous time riding around the neighborhood. She doesn’t love her helmet yet but we are working on it.

At first she was just curious about what has happening. Then when she started to move she got a little nervous. Finally, after a few minutes and she got used to the wind in her face, she really started smiling. Now she wants to race the bigger kids on the block.
