* Weighs about 27 pounds. We aren't exactly sure how tall he is because we haven't measured him lately. Mommy just ordered a growth chart to match Trey's room, so hopefully we will start keeping track of Trey's height regularly.
* Is working on getting his last round of molars, and then he will have all of his baby teeth.
* Says a million words, with new ones every day. If he doesn't know the word for something, he quickly picks it up. He is only just now starting to combine words, but he is on the verge of saying full sentences!
* Is still a great sleeper, sleeping from about 8 at night until around 8 in the morning, and longer if we let him. But ever since we started weaning him from the night-time paci a couple weeks ago by slowly cutting the tip off, he no longer "sleeps in" until 10 on the weekends.
* Can name all of his major colors and shapes, most of his letters, and numbers 1-5.
* Loves to sing, especially "Twinkle Twinkle," requests "Row Row" regularly, and can match pitch when he tries.
* Has pretty much no interest in television, but recognizes when "football" is on TV.
* Has a pretty good pitching arm for a kid who is not even 2, can kick a soccer ball, but is oblivous to the skill of catching.
* Loves seeing dogs, buses, the moon, and pretty much anything else in his books.
* Knows and loves Elmo because a friend gave him an Elmo toy for his first birthday, but otherwise has no familiarity with any other commercial character.
* Will use the potty about 75% of the time we put him on it, and will sometimes ask to use the potty, although often it means he has already gone in his diaper.
* Says that "Anna," a little girl in his class, is his best friend. He also knows that his music teacher is named "Anna" and she says "la la la."
* Has started displaying "crocodile tears" when he doesn't get his way.
* Is incredibly quick and nimble and can almost outrun most of the women in his family. Despite this, he often wants to be held "up" when traveling any notable distance on foot.
* Gives the sweetest hugs and kisses, and after months of giving precious open-mouthed kisses on our cheeks, now puckers up and gives us "real" kisses.
* Knows pretty much all of his body parts and can name many of them.
* Loves to "read" books. Lately he does not want to be read to, but insists instead on flipping through the books while "reading" them out loud.
* Will almost always ask for an "orange" shirt when you ask him what he wants to wear.
* Loves to draw. Also loves puzzles and doing "work" at school.
* Wants to be a big boy SO badly. He always gravitates towards the older kids, and he desperately wants to be able to do things himself.
* Has really started getting into cars, trains, and other "boy" things, without much guidance at all towards things that are stereotypically "boy."
* In his parents' eyes, is just the sweetest, cutest, brightest, most special 21-month-old boy in the entire world.
