Yes but award availability tends to be early or very late.
You can also book an economy ticket and waitlist for business for that flight or another flight.

The rules state lapchild fare are only for childern under 2 years of age at time of travel. While you might get away with it if you fudge the child's birthday on the ticket, there is a risk the child will not be allowed to board.
