Ride Ride Ride

i thought i would take some more pix of lachlan scooting around on his little bike.. he is getting faster and faster and you need to almost run to keep up with him when he decides to go for broke.. it's quite funny (but very cute) watching his chubby little legs working away!

Holidays

lachlan has taken to amusing himself by pulling my suitcase out of the wardrobe and climbing inside it while announcing that he is going on holidays and then getting me to wheel him around the house.. i guess we'd save on air fare if we ever decided to let him travel this way!

oh, and yes, that is a nappy that gymbo is wearing.. don't ask, it's a long story.. :D

Mow Mow Mow

with all the rain we got a couple of weeks ago, the grass has been looking greener than it has for a long time, but was desperately in need of a mow. never one to sit on the sidelines, lachlan got out his mower and helped his dadda.. he even went over the the neighbour's yard and gave their new turf a bit of a going over too!

Bathtime - still or again

well, it's been awhile since i've made a post so i thought i had better do something about that! lots has been happening, but most of the time, i've forgotten to take my camera with me so i haven't had any new pix to put up.

lachlan is developing in leaps and bounds and now chats to me most of the day and can string together sentences of 4 or so words regularly. he has started putting on lots of weight again (he slowed down for awhile with the whole going to daycare trauma and getting sick a few times) and is getting more active, adventurous and cheeky by the day. he has finally started settling into daycare and even has a little friend that he hangs out with on the days that he is there. the staff are constantly amazed by how clever he is and get a little chuckle out of some of his new "phases". he is currently going thru a phase where he pretends to be a little baby and wants you to hold him and give him a bottle - not sure if this started because he realised the babies got more attention? whatever the reason, it's very cute!

i'm still working three days a week, studying part time, and trying to keep up with him the rest of the time. we've all been sick at one time or another over the last month or so but (touch wood) are all ok at the moment.

and madeline has celebrated her first birthday with lots of cuddles and kisses from lachlan (and no, i didn't bring my camera to the party so there are no photos!)

i did manage to remember to take a couple earlier tonight when lachlan was having his bath though!

Two Grandkids,Two Knees

it was john's birthday today so we had the family over for lunch.. popsy had a lovely time playing with his grandkids.. good thing he's only got two though, he'd have to grow some extra knees otherwise!

Beep Beep

lachlan's current favourite thing to do is to get into one of our cars, stand on the driver's seat and press on the horn as many times as he can before i can't stand the noise anymore and remove his hands.. he thinks it's a pretty fun game though and will keep doing it over and over and over.. so when popsy came over to visit, he decided to take a "drive" in popsy's ute..

GO GO GO

we recently bought lachlan a new bike during the toy sales.. he had been getting proficient at pushing himself around backwards and forwards using both feet at the same time on his other bikes so we thought it was time that he got a new one.. he has quickly gotten the hang of pushing himself along one foot at a time and even has steering sorted out! he isn't very fast yet, and you can tell there is a lot of concentration going into it, but it won't be long until he is scooting around the house faster than i can keep up with..

Strawberries

lachlan has always loved fruit and strawberries are one of his favourites.. now that they are back in season, he's been enjoying having a handful of them as dessert after his dinner.. here are some photos of him and his daddy enjoying a little picnic on the kitchen mat..

Fingerpainting

one of lachlan's favourite things to do is to play with his fingerpaints. i bought him a new art smock during the week in an attempt to keep him clean but it's waaaay too big for him still. doesn't seem to bother him too much though, as you can see!

Green Thumb

with the skies clearing and winds dropping, we decided to do a little gardening this morning.. lachlan as always copied what we were doing and then decided that he would take over.. after "helping" daddy for awhile, he decided it was time to go solo with his weeding fork.. and no, he didn't destroy the back lawn, it was already like that..
