18 months

Lawson is 18 months old as of yesterday.  I no longer have a baby.  He is all toddler and spends his days trying to keep up with his brother.  He doesn't want to be left out or left behind for anything.  He is our ornery little boy and always getting in to something.  It keeps us very entertained.

• Has a bit of a rough side to him.  He thinks its funny when people say "ow", not good I know.  We are working on it.
• He will put himself in timeout.  It is hilarious to us every time, but we try not to let him see us laugh.
