Bye Bye Binky

I wanted Robert to give up his binky by the time he was 18 months old. I was really scared and nervous about it since he suddenly seemed so attached to it. I was beginning to realize that it was an 'out of sight, out of mind' situation. He was only getting it to take naps and go to bed at night anyway, and usually I would try to remove it from his crib before he woke up so it just wasn't 'there' for him. Occasionally, he would see it on the counter or on his dresser and he would cry for it. I never gave in, and always redirected him so he would forget about it.
One night last week, I just decided not to give it to him at bed time. I wanted to see how he would react. I was surprised and relieved to know that he was FINE! So, the binky has disappeared, and Robert is becoming more mature each and every day!
Next big step... the potty. But I'm afriad that's gonna be awhile!

We went pumpkin picking last week. Robert had a blast! He is so excited for Halloween. He is going to be a PSU football player. Whenever he hears us say touchdown, he throws his arms up in the air and cheers! Stay tuned for Halloween pics!


ps the BIG ultrasound is November 1st. We will be finding out the sexes of the two Tiny Trifs. So far, I had dreams it was a boy/girl and girl/girl - in that order.

Robert is 18 months old!

Last Thursday, Robert turned 18 months - officially 1 and a half! I regret not making a sign like in months past, but I did manage to snap a few pics, nonetheless....
