Lochlan now does crunches every time you lay him down in an attempt to sit up. He also talks constantly and will yell at you if you walk by and he wants you to come closer.

Park Day

Since we live in southern California and it is 80 degrees today we decided to take the boys to the park. It is so strange living in a place with no seasons.


The Many Faces of Lochlan

So, Lochlan had his check-up this week and he is average for height and weight. Dr. Weinburg did warn me that Lochlan (like Declan) has advanced social intelligence. I guess that means that I will have two boys who are constantly manipulating us (heaven help us).
