Joshua's first clam bake.

Yesterday we went to Salem to Jay's cousin Michelle's house for a clam bake. It was a beautiful day, finally not too hot and humid, we could actually BE outside with Joshua without melting or having to peel him off of us after carrying him for a little while! Joshua was a little ladies man and I was given multiple offers from other people who wanted to take him home with them. For the most part, he was a very mellow, happy guy. He got a little angry towards the end, he was tired and hungry, but he is always like that at the end of the day, really. I think he was a little jealous that everyone else was eating steamers and lobsters or hamburgers and hot dogs and all he got was stinky baby food and milk.

He got to feel grass for the first time! Since we actually got to enjoy the weather and were somewhere where there is grass, we plopped Joshua down on his blanket on the grass. Of course he rolled over and got himself to the edge of the blanket and was trying with all of his might to grab handfuls of the grass and eat it. But did we really expect anything less?

Joshua has also decided he likes eating his bottom lip again. He used to do this when he was a newborn, he was always sucking on that bottom lip and he just started to do it again. It's kind of funny to watch. I am wondering if maybe it feels nice on his sore gums, or he is just rubbing anything he can over that tooth trying to figure it out . . . who knows. I DID manage to get a picture of him doing it even though he was trying not to let me catch him!
