Before I get into what the weekend brought, just a few new tricks that Ethan has mastered. Last weekend out of nowhere, he started clapping his hands. I guess he saw me clap my hands each time he tried to feed himself and maybe caught on? Anyway, he claps his hands and mocks the sound "yay" that we say to him. He's also been "flopping" a single arm sometimes as if to say "hi". He's also mega interested in self-feeding now. He's big on mandarin oranges, puffs, cheerios, bread/toast, peas, carrots. I wish he had more chompers so we could give him more variety!! Speaking of chompers, we're wondering if he's going to get some more because he started his drool-fest a few days ago. So, maybe in the next few weeks we'll see some new pearly whites. On the crawling front, he's definitely not there yet, but he will lay his head down on the ground and stick his butt in the air and sometimes get up on his knees. I'm not too worried about it, he'll get it all in his own time.
Can you believe Ethan is going to be 9 months next week!! My gosh, I just can't believe our little boy is growing so fast.
We had quite a busy weekend for the holiday. We went to a 4th of July bbq at our friend Sara's house, where Ethan was a very good boy considering his afternoon nap was about an hour shorter than we thought it was going to be. The whole family was dressed in red, white and blue and I meant to get a family photo, but forgot until after I had put Ethan's pj's on. Oh well, the photos are still cute!
Here's our friend Mark helping Daddy feed Ethan while Mommy chats with the girls.

Today we braved the warm weather with Ethan and went to the Ribfest for a few hours. We went with Grandpa and Grandma Linda. Ethan was quite a good boy considering the heat. He even taste tested a few greasy french fries. Ethan's reward was a "Sgt Oink" sticker from the rib vendor we ate at.

Okay, I consider this to be my premier Ethan Hickman information source. I don't read papers or tabloids or magazines, I attend this site. However, it has been a full week since last you provided me with the quality information media I require to stay updated. If this is not rectified soon, I will be forced to take extreme measures and take my Ethan Hickman business elsewhere--I may even have to resort to the spy cameras I secretly installed in your house. However--out of the goodness of my heart--I'll give you guys another shot (aren't I great?). The world knows he's yours, but one such as he also belongs to the world, like the Mona Lisa, or the quarter-pounder with cheese--he's just something the world needs, and the world prefers to get its info from the great Jamie and Dave, not Adam's secret spy cameras.
