New words and fun at school

New words that the baby is now saying:

Buh/buk ("book")

Uh oh ("uh oh" or "oh no!")

Cook or cook-ah ("cookie")

Grrrowh (sound he makes when he sees any animal. All animals growl.)

He's finally taken to walking with me instead of having me carry him everywhere. We're still working on him playing by himself since he prefers to be near or on me all the time. 

He's had a cold and started waking up at night again. I thought it was for comfort, and it was, but he made it into a new habit. So we agreed to let him cry, no matter what, and he did. First it was on and off for over an hour (after midnight), and then a few minutes a few hours later. Then it was about 45 minutes (after 1am). Then it stopped. 

One bad habit broken at a time. 

And Carolina is really, truly enjoying going to school all day. She eats her lunch! She takes a nap! She tells me about her day! 

I've given her chicken nuggets (that I made), pasta with broccoli and carrots, meatballs, pancakes, fish and zucchini fritters. She's also had pizza. I'm just going to keep making her lunches of food I'd wish she'd eat for dinner. So dinner is lunch and vice versa. She gets so hungry at school that she doesn't mind eating. 

I don't give her a snack when she's in the car after school either, since it meant she ate nearly nothing for dinner. So dinner is now at 4pm. But she really eats. 

School schedule has helped me kill snacks. Whoo hoo!
