Lachlan - 22 months

Well, this post is a full month beyond, so it will be short to just include the few notes I had made.  Pictures were a real trip this month as you can see...






Lachlan still just LOVES the ABCs.  He will sing along with us-- he can generally make it through the entire way, but of course can't pronounce everything correctly.  He can identify a lot of the letters of the alphabet it seems.  He plays endless alphabet on ipad and LOVES it-- and I actually think this is primarily responsible for him learning the letters so well.

He still loves ANYTHING on ipad or iphone.  He says "pictures" when he wants to play on those...I guess he says pictures because it started out that he just wanted to look at pictures/videos, but now he spends more time playing apps.

He is progressing with counting.  We count the steps every time we go upstairs and he counts along with us-- it's not real clear, but seems like he can count along with us up to 20.  Of course a lot of the teens all sound the same and are kinda mumble-jumble.

His favorite toy is probably Legos (aka blocks).  His favorite book is probably Goodnight Gorilla to read before bed.  He has a very set routine with the book where on each page he has certain things he likes to be quizzed on- e.g. Where is the giraffe?  Where is the armadillo?

He is getting very good at reading books himself and imitating my voice and saying key words.  I absolutely love catching him reading on his own and is so cute to listen to him!

I'm not sure yet if he enjoys school or not-- many days he cries or has tantrums refusing to get in the car to go in the mornings, but then seems fine once he is there.

His schedule really remains the same.  Bed time is between about 7:30-8 and we try to do a bath every other night.  We are finally getting some days where he is sleeping in late until like 8:00, so has been a nice change!  Some days he is an awesome eater and other days he will hardly eat anything on his plate or refuses foods that I know he likes!  I noticed I am really bad with offering him vegetables, so need to work on offering those more often and trying to get him to eat those.

He had lots of first-time visitors this last month to Texas:
My cousins- Jeremy and Grant

Grandma Tina

"Aunt Miss"

Here are some pics from the last month:




He is always cracking us up doing goofy things while eating

Lachlan LOVED feeding all the animals at the pumpkin patch- no fear at all!
