His first was an impromptu gathering with neighbor Camila’s 10 month old daughter Sofia, who Roman has been seen pawing before.
Camila needed to run an errand, so Roman got to hang with Sofia for a while. From the minute she showed up, the only word I can use to describe my son would be a peacock. He fluffed out his chest so big and started strutting around his room (as best as someone who can’t walk can strut – you know what I mean), loudly showing her all his toys.

But did you hear him say "Oh NO" when he swooped in to take the hot dog toy? Pure hilarity, I tell you. After we stopped laughing, though, we realized that sharing is NOT one of Munchkin's strong suits!
The funniest part of it all was the fact that, for all Roman’s antics, Sofia was clearly the one in charge. She played quietly while he panted around like a maniac and even tolerated him when he brought over toys and quickly took them back. But most importantly, she showed him who was boss bc she can walk. Not a ton of steps, just one or two, but Roman was so miffed that it was all he could do to show her he was a big boy too. So instead of walking on his own, he made his way across the room holding onto every big item he could find. I don’t think she was impressed, though.
The next day, Roman got to see his other hot honey, my girlfriend Kendyl’s daughter Kolby, who was celebrating her first b-day. Now Roman and Kolby have had quite a few “dates” and each time the both seem equally uninterested in each other. The first one they both slept through (granted they were 4 months old, but hey!) This time, Ms. Kolby was not to be outdone and brought the “fire” in her little birthday ensemble, complete with a bolero jacket. Yeah, you heard me, a bolero jacket. Please believe that I will be in retail overload if I ever have a girl….this stuff is too cute!

Kolby may not have given Roman a lot of play, but she did give him something no other woman has, not even me. She gave him CAKE. Sweet, fluffy nectar of the Gods – and you can see he loved every minute of it...
Until I took it away.......


Despite loving spending time with Sofia, the real winner of the day was this beach ball Sofia’s friend Mateo let Roman use (and by let, I mean Roman de-bo’ed while Mateo was playing with some blocks we brought).
Looks like we might have a baller on our hands after all!
All in all, the weekend was great and I think it was just what the family needed after a stressful weekend prior. Still, this Saturday is Valentine’s Day and I would venture to say that my little one still hasn’t settled on what gifts to give his lady friends. I may have to have his father speak to him about romance a little bit - Let’s hope he gets better with age!
