21 MONTHS OLD!!!

Hi, Everyone. I'm back, & I'm 21 MONTHS OLD!! Life just keeps getting better & better, & I keep growing & growing. I am now 33 inches tall & 28 pounds. I am all over the place, & more curious than ever. I get into everything, & go go go, nonstop. I tire mommy out on a daily basis. I LOVE to climb, & I do it on any piece of furniture I can, even the ones I know I'm not supposed to. I still love to eat, & I'm so much better at using a spoon and a fork then I used to be. Although I do get a lot of food all over me sometimes...sometimes on purpose, but don't tell mommy! I talk all the time, and I can say so many more words, words like; "But-tea (belly button), truck, air pain (air plane), Bampa (Grandpa), Mittie (Mickey), Goothie (Goofy), baby, bye bye, side (outside), sinkie (slinky), pockie (pocket), uh oh, bankie (blankie) & pat-tea (pacie). I really love to play outside, & go for walks. But most of all I love being a big brother. I love to play with Avee, as I call him, & make him laugh. I still help mommy, sometimes when she doesn't need it, by taking all of Avery's clothes out of the drawers. Or pulling all the diapers out from the changer. But I do help her in other ways too, by cleaning up. I help pick up my toys when I'm supposed to, & I still love to vacuum. I got so big that mommy & daddy bought me a new bed, a toddler one. I can climb in & out all by myself. I also got to celebrate four more holidays, & they were so much fun....well three of them were. I was asleep for the fourth. During the fall, I got to go to a Pumpkin Farm & pick my very own pumpkin. Daddy helped of course, but I did the heavy lifting. I tried to pick up all the biggest pumpkins I could find. For Halloween I was a duck, & mommy & daddy say I was the cutest duck ever! I got to go to a Harvest Festival & play lots of games for candy. Speaking of which, I don't think I ever got to eat any...hmm. We got some snow just before Thanksgiving, that I liked to play in. We had dinner with U. Brian, A. Martha, & our German friend Steve. In the winter, I got to go to a Christmas Tree Farm & pick out a tree. I loved it there. There were brooms, rakes & snow shovels just laying around the place, all for me to play with. This year I got to help decorate the tree, I helped daddy put the star on the top. I went to see Santa again this year, but I didn't like him too much. Mommy had to sit next to him, & hold me on the other side, away from him. We went to a really old Palace (over a thousand years old) in Regensburg for a Christmas Market, & it was really cold that night. We spent Christmas Eve with U. Brian, A. Martha & Steve again, & had lots of fun playing with photo props mommy made. Santa did bring me a really cool airplane, it has little people in it & it sings. I got lots of other awesome presents from mommy, daddy, Gma & Gpa Carls, Nana & Papa Fedeson, U. Brian & A. Martha, A. Judie & A. Patti, A. Sarah & Great Gma Carls. A few days after Christmas we drove a few hours to see mommy's cousin, who is also in Germany. We got to tour another castle, & I was royalty. I got to wear a Royal Robe during the tour. The fourth holiday, the one I said I slept through, that was New Years. I watched a few movies with mommy & daddy, but I fell asleep, & slept all night. In the beginning of January, I got to go back to California, but we went because mommy was very sad. Great Gma Carls went to heaven. But, this time, daddy got to go with us, & we got to see a lot of family. I also went to another state, I spent a little time in Washington, in the city of Seattle, so I can add one more to the count of states I've been to. There were other kids for me to play with, mommy said they were my cousins. I had a lot of fun with them. Nana Fedeson came to see me & Avee again too. While we were in California, Gpa was my buddy!! I just LOVE Gpa. He's my best friend. I wanted to be with him all the time, & help him do everything. I like to help him outside in the yard & he'd let me sit in my highchair, to be near him, when he was in the kitchen making food. Well, it's time for me to say goodbye, until next time. Mommy has put A LOT of pictures here for you to see this time. I've been a busy boy, so there are many. I hope you Enjoy.... Love, Greyson
