Today was Rocco's 2 year checkup (we are a little behind) and Roman's 6 month well check. What a complete contrast in personalities we have with these two! Rocco was a mess, stressed out, upset, traumatized by the mere thought that a stranger (doctor) would dare come near him with a stethoscope, thermometer, scale, measuring tape etc. Roman could have cared less...we actually used Roman as an example for Rocco. "See Rocco, it's ok, Roman is happy and smiling." Rocco screamed, cried and fought every step of the way. Roman was calm, cool and collected. He even beamed at everyone when he was seated on the baby scale. He grabbed the sides of it, looked up at us and smiled his signature open mouthed grin. He was quite proud of his new seat! And the scale reported a whopping 21 lbs, 2 oz! He measured in at 27 inches. 90% percentile for height and weight. He is solid and chubby and so very huggable! Rocco weighs 30 pounds and is 37 inches tall. He is in the 50th % for weight and the 97th% for height. Tall and skinny, just like daddy! They both got two shots...not surprisingly Roman cried for about 20 seconds..Rocco is still crying...hours later! He did stop for a few hours in between...they are so very different and so very loved.

So great to see your cute family. Keep it up (and I will try)Hugs!
I love learning about the differences of your two sweet boys! How fun it must be to watch them grow up together and share the bond of brotherhood. Loved the pics!
