In the past few days, Lance showed me that his little memory goes back months!!! On Sunday, we parked our car at the beach in a spot that we had parked at several weeks ago. The last time we parked there, Lance and I spotted a cat in the bushes and (since he LOVES all animals) we watched it for awhile, and Lance meowed away to the little guy. When we got out of the car on Sunday, Lance immediately noticed the bushes and started saying "cat! cat!" and did his best to call the cat from weeks ago with some meows. I couldn't believe it! Again today, Lance and I walked over to our neighbor's house (who also have a cat...) and as we got close to their house, he pointed his little finger at the house and started the meow!!! It has been about two months since we have been there! For some reason, this killed me!
Other than an apparent obsession with cats, Lance continues to work on his animal names and sounds and has started clapping and pointing like a mad man. He applauds for himself whenever he does something he likes and sticks his little pointer finger in the air on a regular basis to point my attention at something.
He loves scooting around the house on his Radio Flyer, learned how to climb to the top of daddy's ladder all by himself, and............................took his first 9 unassisted steps in a row today!
They were not documented and I'm not sure if he'll repeat the big move again tomorrow. But, after almost EIGHT months of crawling, it looks like Lance might walk in the near future!
Finally, Lance and the dogs are becoming closer and closer. He loves to feed them water from the hose and will call them to come and get a drink. He calls Koko "NaaNaa" and says it in the same exact tone we use when we call her. Adorable! Stef is still making sure Moses knows who's boss and Lance seems to be enjoying it quite a bit! 
All in all, these past weeks have been amazing, and I'm sure there's even more good to come!
That cat story is too cute!! WOW. It is amazing what they retain, and perhaps a bit scary!
