This would be Roman after mooching daddy's lunch. Roman has mastered not being hungry or not wanting what he has because yours is always better

Scouting in Sedona
Mommy is doing a photo shoot in Sedona at Cathedral Rock and wanted to go scouting before the big shoot.
Roman loved playing in red dirt, being walked by lucy, playing with big fall leaves and riding on daddy's shoulders.
He slept within minutes of reaching the freeway :)
Amazes us every day
Roman is growing leaps and bounds. He is always surprising us with new words and skills both mental and physical.
In his mommy and me class he's Miss Emily's favorite, always helpful, excited and eager to participate. He runs towards his class and sees his new friends giggleing and saying "oh cool"
At naptime, we read "Guess how much I love you" when little nut brownhair gets a kiss from big nutbrown hair, I always get a kiss, and when big nutbrown hair whispers, Roman whispers too.
He gives Lucy her dental chews every other day
Identifies letters- he espcially loves vowels, everywhere you see words printed.
On his special big boy computer, he can identify half of the letters of the alphabet and make their phonetic sounds.
He routinely helps with laundry, putting away dishes, swiffering, checking the mail.
Every morning, he has to sit with daddy and have his bowl of cereal just like dad, while they watch highlights on cnn
He wants to be just like daddy!
He's also daring like daddy, climbing up onto kitchen chairs, counters and reaching lightswitches and the tops of our dressers.

A day in the life of me (19 mo)
6:15 run into mom and dad's room and shout "HI" run to whomever decides to not greet me and repeat loudly "HI"

9:45-10:30 play blocks, another diaper change, chase the dog, pull on mom to get her from checking her email, play with blackberry while mom finishes up quick email
10:30-11:30 light snack with a few minutes of cartoons, help mom unload dishwasher, diaper change and get ready for nap
11:30-1 zonked out with mom, I like it when she naps with me because she rubs my back and sings to me

Goin to the Zoo
So due to the large volume of photos, we're breaking this one into 3 sections. Here are the general zoo photos
Talk talk talk
Roman loves talking on the phone. if you're ever bored, call me and ask to talk to Roman! Talk about great low cost entertainment
Daddy's video game gear
It was spring cleaning time (yes, I know we don't have seasons here) but we were cleaning out closets and Dave thought it would be lots of fun to let Roman play with his gear.
Of course, being the ham he is, hilarity ensued.
Just like Dad
Roman loves to watch daddy juggle, and imitates quite well. He does this most everytime he gets his hands on block. Recently he showed of to his teacher Ms. Emily during mommy and me class and he had her hook line and sinker.
Now for your viewing pleasure "juggle juggle juggle"

Potty Training
Everyone was surprised when we decided to use cloth diapers- and besides saving lots of money, here was the other great pay-off. Roman goes potty in his big boy potty. Not everytime of course, and we still use diapers most every day. But every now and then we put on big boy pull ups to encourage his use of the potty.
Fingers crossed, we will be diaper free by the start of '09
Dbacks v. Cardinals
We don't know the exact score, Roman was having too much fun drinking lemonade, eating chicken strips and fixing anything he could reach with his toy screwdriver. Roman loves baseball games, especially when nana and tata come too!
Phoenix Children's Museum
We drove past this on 7th St and Van Buren and were intrigued. Intrigue lead to a visit that resulted in a trip to the COOLEST kids museum ever! 3 stories of play- the first floor is dedicated to hula hoops, soft tents and padded floors. The second floor has an art studio, a race track for wooden cars, a pretend street with tricycles and 1/2 of it is covered in bean bags and book cases filled with children's books. The third floor has a play area for 3 and under, a room made into a grocery store with motion sensor conveyor belts, a room set up like an enormous kitchen.
Roman fell in love and so did we. Since our membership we try to go every 3 weeks and even nana has come to visit the museum with us!

How big am I now?
At his 18 mo check up Roman weighed in at 28lbs and 32" which for those of you keeping track is exactly 1/2 my height.
Now at almost 20 months he is 29lbs and 33.5"
I'm taking bets now as to when he will be taller than me
