The Second Gift

Here's an update on our sweet Greg-Johnnie: (4 months old)

(I wish I had done this with Jace. I wish I had written down his little quirks from time to time. )

1. Greg is so strong. He can stay on his belly for quite a while. He also locks those legs and "stands" pretty well.

2. Greg is definitely longer and leaner than Jace was. He's only 4 months, but long enough for 6 month clothes.

3. He has a dimple on his left cheek that is too precious for words. It only shows when he smiles really big...which is alot.

4. Greg likes to lay on his back. He'll talk, laugh, coo, and flash that dimple when he's looking up at the world.

5. He just learned to stick out his tongue while "talking" it's so funny. Jace and I love to laugh at our funny little guy.

6. Greg LOVES to get his diaper changed!

7. He loves his big brother, and Jace knows just how to talk to him. (Every day Jace acts as though Greg was just born. He hugs and kisses his little brother a million times a day. And, he reminds me, when we pray, to "Thank God for Greg comin' out of your belly."...still, after 4 months)

8. Greg is unfortunately dragged around everywhere, much to the detriment of most of his naps.

9. For every nap that gets messed up, though, that boy is still grinning and havin' a good time. (wish his mother was as laid back about it all)

10. Why, he's havin' fun "not napping" right now! (I can hear him in his room. :( )

11. Greg's mom is trying hard not to go crazy. (Things are just not the same as they were with the first child.)

12. We all love that little guy so much, and are looking forward to each milestone that will allow him to engage with family more and more.
