Breaking News

Alex can clap his hands now! Ok, that's maybe not really worthy of a news bulletin, but we think it's adorable! I tried to get a picture of him doing it, but he just kept grabbing for the camera instead. I literally took eleven shots, and this is the best one I could get. I'd have kept trying, but the batteries on my camera died.

In other news, Ethan visited the doctor yesterday for his six-year-old well child checkup. We tried a new doctor, and we really liked her. (This is good news for me, because we've been having trouble finding a doctor who works for us. You know, one who actually answers our questions and so on. And don't even get me started on the dentist who fabricated cavities!) Anyway, she asked Ethan if he was a good eater. He answered very seriously, "Well, when it comes to cinnamon toast and yogurt I am!" Can you guess what his favorite breakfast is?
He weighs 45 pounds and he's 46 inches tall. (I wish I only weighed a pound for every inch tall that I was. Ok, maybe two pounds per inch. ) He's completely healthy, and he doesn't have to go back for two years now!

I'd be happy with 3 lbs per inch at this point. What's with the fabricated cavities!!!
