Little man

My little man had his 18mos check-up today and weighed in at 24.3lbs and 32 inches tall.  He's just shy of Vanessa's height at the same age (she was 32 1/2 inches) but the boy's got the pounds on her, she was just barely 21lbs.  My little brute.  He's growing up so fast and doing new things everyday we just love it.  The second time around and we still get just as excited over the smallest things that demonstrate his growing independence.  The few things that we don't get so excited over...the way he seems to already know how to irk his big sister and purposely "pick a fight".  Just today for example I watched as Vanessa was quietly doing a puzzle by herself on the floor when Roman decided to walk over, look at her and slowly step down on a piece she was about to reach for.  When Vanessa said "no, no Roman.  Move please, I'm using that" he proceeded to then sit his bottom on the entire area of puzzle pieces and laugh.  Boys.  Seriously, are they born knowing how to get a rise out women??
