The Cox-Fitz Chronicles

Sometimes Maddie wakes up looking like this.

We moved next door to our old place, that is, after paying a fortune to haul our stuff up to Brentwood for a few months first. Let’s just say we did not fit in there. Anyway, we got back in November and went up to see my dad and friends in the Bay area. We’re headed to Hazard this week as well!

…but we have excuses.  We moved, leased a new home, leased out an old home, leased an apartment, did mold abatement, Maddie started daycare, C went back to work and we took 3 trips.  Sandwiched in between all this was Maddie’s 1st birthday.  Yea!  Go Mads, you made it Girl!  Unfortunately, we didn’t do much to celebrate because we’re bad, exhausted parents.  But the good news is Maddie didn’t seem to notice or care.  She was too busy enjoying her new found mobility.  She has been scooting all over town for the past couple of months and if I don’t say so myself it’s about the funniest/cutest darn thing I’ve ever seen.  She still refuses to crawl- she seems to have trouble holding that big old head of hers up for very long in that position.  But she is getting ever more close to walking.

Christina and I are thrilled to be living back in Santa Monica.  We moved next door to wear we used to live, and Root Beer and L.P. are pretty thrilled too.  We just got back from visiting C’s dad in San Francisco and also met baby Patrick (Trolley) Farley for the first.  He’s a cool guy!  Here are some pix from the past few months.
