The last time I used my binky was last Thursday night! I've done great without it :) The first night was a little rough, the next two were great, then I regressed a little for a few nights, but I think we're ok now. I tell mom "night night" then dive in my crib, roll over, hug my kitty (the stuffed one, not the real one...) and go to sleep :) It's a good thing I have TWO stuffed kitties (thank you Grandma and Grandpa Coble!) I haven't even been waking at 3am anymore - mom is SUPER thrilled about that. I would always put myself back to sleep, but only after she was already awake, so this is much better for all of us.
I'm talking SO much now. This morning, I copied mom when she said "A B C." And also "one two." I didn't quite get to "three," but we'll get there soon enough. When we come downstairs in the morning, mom always has to make me wait to eat until she gets her coffee. I try to say "coffee," but it really still sounds like "cracker," ha ha. I think I understand when mom asks me a question, too. When I was getting dressed this morning, mom asked me where we were going. I said "school!" And when she asked who we were going to see, I said "Lala," (i.e. Alana), my best friend from school. Then we named all of my friends and teachers. Aunt Laurie, you'll be proud - my teachers name is Laurie too and I can say it now!!! I'm glad tomorrow is Friday!

Happy Belated New Year!
My apologies for not updating for an entire month! I was pretty busy with Christmas, New Years, and getting back in the swing of things. I'm now 16 months old and am more and more fun every day (or so mom tells me).
I guess I should back up a little... I had a wonderful second Christmas with a lot of my family! Grammy and Grampy Clements came up from Florida and Aunt Laurie, Uncle Dan and Cousins Courtney and Kaylee came to visit from New York. Grandma and Grandpa Coble and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Coble even came to visit! I got my first real taste of Santa and I have to say I think I like him :) When I woke up on Christmas morning, there was this awesome kitchen, dishes and a bunch of food waiting for me! When you put a pot on the stove burner, it even sounds like the food is cooking :) I've had a blast putting the food in the refrigerator, in the stove, in the drawers, and even trying to eat it. Mom and dad didn't get too many photos because they were too busy playing with me!
I got into a pretty bad habit of snacking over the break. I was totally addicted to graham crackers. I even knew where mom hid them and would point to the counter and continuously whine "cracker," "cracker," "cracker" until she relented.
We had a blast at Deep Creek for New Years - there was SO much snow and it was really cold, so we didn't do much other than sit around the fire and read books. I had a bin of toys that I could get in, so that was fun. I had a lot of fun with Kona and often tried to give her bone to her. Mom and Molly told me that I shouldn't take the bone back away from Kona, though. The decor in the house was very odd - lots of wood paneling and even wall paper on top of the paneling. But they had this endtable that was perfect for me to climb in and play my new xylophone! It was nice to see Penn State win the bowl game, too - daddy was a little worried near the end!
I *love* putting my hats on in the morning before school!
I also love my boots - some days even before I get dressed, I take my boots to mom to put them on me.
More proof that I'm just a happy kiddo :)
I think I have daddy wrapped around my cute little finger...
And my favorite "thing" of all time...KITTY!
Everything is going well with me. I've been in the toddler room at school for a few months now and that's going pretty well. I nap like a champ now on most days, but have been waking up between 2 and 3 every morning. We've cut all dairy out of my diet and I'm doing much better now. But mom and dad keep saying they're glad they own stock in Whole Foods since that's the only place to buy half of my food now.
I say a lot of words and repeat pretty much anything. I ask for a bath before bedtime and head upstairs when I'm ready. Among some others that I can't think of at the moment, I can say school, milk, more, cracker, ball, car, dog, baby, hat, and can say my friends names from school - Cooper, Alana, Casey, and even my teacher Cynthia! I haven't used my pacifier during the day since last weekend and gave it up at bedtime last night! It wasn't as bad as I though it would be, but we'll see how the rest of the weekend goes.
Better go...lots of playing to do before lunch time :)
