Self Feeding

part of lachlan's development has been his ability to feed himself.. sometimes he is better at it than other times, although i should've known better than to let him even try with noodles, but he did insist.. i think more ended up on him and the table than in his mouth..

Cousin Madeline

we celebrated popsy's birthday last weekend with a family bbq at our house. lachlan has taken to wanting to hold babies when he sees them, so we thought we'd let him have a go at holding madeline while they were both sitting on the futon lounge. madeline was less impressed with the whole idea..

Internet Helpdesk Part 2

took some cute pix of lachlan playing internet helpdesk the other day that i thought i would share with you all. he loves sitting at the desk in the study and banging away on the computer keyboard and talking on the phone. fortunately, he likes to mimic so most of the time when he is playing with the phone, he is pressing the button to disconnect the call (which he sees me doing when he actually manages to press numbers) so we haven't gotten any huge phone bills because he has accidently called some international number.. i'm sure it's only a matter of time though - just one more reason why you should never leave a toddler unsupervised..

Water Play

you may remember me mentioning in a previous post that i had set up a water play area for lachlan in the atrium.. amazing what you can do with a couple of buckets, scoops, cups and bath toys.. mind you, depending on his mood when he goes in, he can be in there happily scooping away for between 30 seconds and 30 minutes..
