*Greg wears 18 months clothes (he has a really long torso and the shirts fit perfectly...he has no bottom to hold up the pants, but he needs the 18 months for the length!)
*He wears a size 6 shoe and is still in size 4 diapers.
*He 10 teeth and appears to be getting more!
*He has become a very picky eater and does not eat nearly as well as he used to. This is so frustrating...for both of us! Some days he eats like a grown man, and others he eats hardly anything!
*He also started waking up in the middle of the night again! :-( I think this is mainly due to his nose being stuffy from the heat...this occurred last winter, too! In the last week, he has gotten much better! PRAISE GOD!
*Greg LOVES to be outside....even if it is 20 degrees and the wind is blowing...he just loves it!
*Greg still naps twice a day for a total of about 3 hours.
*Greg is SUPER active! When he is awake he is nonstop....a joyful ball of energy! He really keeps us on our toes.
(Ball Pit fun with Miss Zoe!)
*Greg listens to redirection and "no" very well. He is very well behaved. When we are at Mass, the girls in the nursery just love him and always compliment us on his behavior and attitude!
*He is so curious about everything and is very observant if something is new or changes in our house. (should be interesting when the little Maria is around!)
*His favorite time of day is still bath time. When we ask if he is ready for a bath...he immediately drops what he is doing and heads for the tub.
*He is still very attached to his blankie.
*He loves soft stuffed animals and will pick them up and pat them and love them. It is so cute!
(This was Greg letting us know that he was done taking Christmas pictures by the tree)
*Greg's receptive language simply amazes me at times! We are still working on the talking. He knows all the sounds, and "talks" nonstop all day! His vocabulary has not changed a whole lot this month...still the basic words (mom, dada, ball, b sound for boopie, blankie, belly)
*Greg hums to himself a lot when he plays and when he lays down to sleep! He gets this from my mom!
*Greg loves to play guitar with his dad
*He LOVES the vacuum. If anyone is vacuuming he wants you to hold him or let him push the vacuum to help! He also likes to Swiffer the floors!
(Vacuuming with Papa)
*When asked he will point to his nose, belly, toes, and hair.
*He likes to brush his own hair and teeth.
*Greg is a climber! He will climb up on anything to get to what he wants! Uh-oh...
(HMMM...climbing on this is fun!)
*Greg still does not watch TV...just a little bit of Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the morning. He would much rather be moving around...which is fine with us! :-)
*He loves to read! He often looks at books by himself and will bring Greg and I books to read to him! I hope this passion lasts forever! :-) His favorite books are the Usborne touch and feel books...I'm pretty sure we own all of them! However, he thinks every books has some sort of touch and feel things on it, so when we read one that does not, he is constantly feeling the pages for some sort of texture!
*He travels well in the car...as long as he has his blankie and boopie with him!

(Papa and Pumpkin! TWINS???)
Greg is such a sweetie! He loves to give us hugs and kisses as he passes by us on the move. It is so sweet for him to pause for seconds to love on us! He is one curious little man and we have loved watching him explore and grow this month! We cannot wait to see how he does with the role of big brother. I am sure he will continue to amaze us in all that he does next month! Although he often tests his boundaries, our consistency in parenting, as exhausting as it may be at times, has truly paid off. We are just so in love with our active little man! :-)
This month will be my last monthly update on Greg. I will blog about his updates regularly though...that is my plan. Looking forward to starting Maria's monthly updates soon, though!
It's amazing, after reading this, how much Greg and Clare are alike. So much that you wrote sounded like I was reading about her! Sounds like they'll be great friends!
