Setting goals with a PT.

I've just switched to a new Personal Trainer, and was going over my goals.
They are currently:
Goals:
Weight loss of 59.2kg (the weight of my son when I started)
To be able to do at least 3 pull-ups
To be able to do 20 (full) Push-ups in a row
To climb a climbing wall with my son (weight limit is 100kg)
To be able to squat my own body weight
Deadlifts 1.5 x my body weight.
Bench Press ... not sure yet.
Some of these are fairly long term (I'm only 1/3 of the way through my weight-loss target for example)
But others are are short term... I've only got 3kgs to go before I'm under 100kg.
I'm currently bench pressing 60kg.
Dead-lifting 40kg.
and Squatting 20kg.
(Going light on my lower body stuff as I'm coming back from an injury).
Do these seem like realistic goals? Am I missing something from the list?
