Gareth is now 5 months old. He's now grabbing almost anything that he could get hold of. When he sees a toy he likes and even if Greg is playing with it, he would flip onto his tummy very quickly and snatch it from Greg. There was once I went Kiddy Palace with Gareth in the sling. I wasn't aware that he grabbed a tube of fruit pastilles at the counter when I was making payment for those other things I bought! Another thing about Gareth is that he simply adores and idolizes Greg. Even when Greg treats him badly at times (e.g., throwing soft balls at his face). Gareth would giggle and laugh over small things that Greg does, even when it's not funny.
Greg has lost quite a bit of weight. Now weighing about 13.5kg. He has become very choosy with food and refusing foods that he didn't want to eat. At first I thought he had hfmd because of his food refusal and he could go without food for two full days! Anyway, now he's starting to eat again, but would eat those things that he likes. Greg loves Gareth and he helps me with Gareth at times (e.g., talking and playing with Gareth, singing Gareth songs, throwing diapers), but afterall he's a kid and he likes attention too. When we focused too much on Gareth, Greg would do some things to hint to us that he's neglected. For instance, when I was commenting on Gareth's cap (used to be Greg's), Greg snatched it from Gareth and put it on his head despite the fact that it's too small for him (see picture above).
Besides the usual sibling "fights", Greg still very much want to be a big brother. There was once I was about to feed Gareth his cereal,
