Buttind heads?

I bought a wether (Rocky) and a friend gave me his goat Lilly. They are going to be 2 years old in March. Now Rocky tries to get Lilly to play, but it ends up in headbutting. Hope this is normal? She has horns and he doesn't. She never goes with her horns to hurt him. They just like butting heads.

Thanks everyone, they love each other, but they like to headbutt. The DH said this morrning, look at those two goats, headbutting each other. They don't headbutt any of the sheep. It seems to be a game with them.
