Siah is 11 months old!

I can't believe this guy is 11 months old! Where has the time gone?!!

 Let's just say this photo session was nearly impossible! Over Christmas break he learned how to go down the stairs on his own, which also means he can now get out of this chair on his own!

Our poor little man keeps having ear infections so Tuesday he will be having surgery to have tubes put in. We know from experience he will feel much better after all that fluid is out of his ears. We are looking forward to having our happy healthy little man back.

 Some other things Siah has started doing this past month:

The biggest thing is he has taken his first steps! He loves to practice walking between people. He occasionally takes some steps on his own off of furniture, however, this is NOT his main form of transportation. He is still an avid crawler and seems to be pretty content with that.

He has learned how to play peek a boo and loves "hiding" his face!

He is become quite dramatic like little older sister! When he is upset he lays his face on the floor and cries before rolling over into a full on fit!

He still doesn't really say any words other than mama and dada. He makes lots of noise, grunting and pointing to get what he wants. He also just started signing more which is cute to watch!

Josiah has become a mans man! He only wants daddy when he is around and has become very attached to my dad, Pops. This is SO different from the girls at this age. They didn't want anything to do with guys!

Siah continues to be super ticklish and has the BEST laugh! He is also still very mischievous and is always getting into trouble, usually by taking something of the girls that he knows he shouldn't!

 He can wave hello and goodbye and kind of says "bye -bye"

 He is down to 1 bottle a day. He has started drinking whole milk at breakfast. He is not sure he likes it. Hopefully we can convince him otherwise!

He celebrated his first Christmas and really enjoyed all the new boy toys he got including LOTS of cars and trains!

(there is 1 pound difference between him and his 2 year old sister)

He got to spend lots of time with his Grammy and Poppy...

and his Lolly and Pops!

He also got to spend some quality time with his cousin/partner in crime Webb!

He only takes one good nap a day. The other nap is either short or nonexistent! He also has to have about 5 pacis in his bed each time he goes down because he likes to throw them out of his bed. We are always hopeful there will be one left IN his bed when he finally decides to go to sleep!

 We are so in love with this little guy! He is full of life and personality and fills our home with so much laughter and joy! We are excited to celebrate his special day in just a few short weeks!
