Siah at 9 Months

This little guys is 9 months old! Can you believe it?!!!
During this photo shoot if he wasn't putting the bunny in his mouth he was trying to climb out of the chair!!






He is a super fast crawler now and can get anywhere he wants to go. He climbs up stairs and tumbles down them. He pulls up on anything and everything and is just now starting to cruise. He is constantly trying to keep up with his big sisters and is very sad if left alone. I think we have another extravert on our hands!!



He also loves to walk these days holding on to someone or something. He uses his push toy some but hasn't quite figured out how to push it himself. 
He's still a true Momma's boy but has found a liking to his daddy as well which daddy is really enjoying!
He still has the four teeth and still loves to eat! He eats anything and everything, one of his favorites is broccoli!! He no longer nurses and now takes formula twice a day, morning and night. He has perfected drinking out of a sippy cup by himself and loves to drink from lolly's straw drinks when she is here!
He still has the crazy hair that can be found sticking straight up more and more with the cooler weather and static electricity!
He loves being outside and has really enjoyed this fall weather.
He has become much more animated these days. He loves to talk, still saying MaMa and now saying Dada and Ma for more. He also makes some of the funniest faces!

 
He also LOVES to blow raspberries and his sisters think it is fun to do it back to him. This game is quite amusing for all parties involved!
He still takes one decent nap a day and the other one is hit or miss. But now that he is on the move he can be found having fallen asleep in some pretty interesting positions.
He had his first trip to the Gentry Farm, a fall Strahan Family tradition! 
He also experience his first Halloween. He made the perfect addition to our Frozen cast!
Unfortunately this guy had his first ear infection this month, but to make it to 9 months in this family is pretty remarkable!! He had some trouble sleeping and was a little more clingy than usual but not bad for an ear infection!!
He still loves his big sister Sophi and she can always find a way to get the biggest giggles out of him! He loves pestering his middle sister Maddie by constantly pulling her hair.
He loves to play the uh oh game these days. He doesn't say uh oh yet but he does LOVE throwing things on the floor over and over again! He also loves playing catch and can already throw a ball pretty well...boys are so different!!

We love you little man and are so thankful God brought you into our family! We are all loving watching you grow!

8 Month Siah

Our sweet little boy turned 8 months old today! Seriously, isn't he sooo cute?!


Two really big changes that have happened this past month: 
teeth!! 
He now has four and is acting like he is getting more!

I love seeing that toothy smile! He also loves making these funny faces while squealing very loudly! 

He is going to make sure his sisters don't take all the attention from him!
The other super big change is CRAWLING! He is crawling all over the place.
 He can get wherever he wants to go, is trying to pull up on everything and is trying to learn how to climb the stairs. He loves discovering his new world and adores doors, opening and closing them as well as opening drawers and pulling everything out of them! Stinker!!
He also loves pushing up like this to his feet. He really wants to walk just hasn't quiet put it all together yet! It's not to far off though I'm pretty sure!
He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth! 
And he LOVES to eat.
He eats three meals a day, two snacks and only nurses twice a day. He drinks from a sippy cup and is learning to drink from a straw!  Heaven help us when this little boy becomes a teenager...he may eat us out of house and home!
While his hair is growing in more it's still pretty fuzzy. 
We are enjoying his mohawk look right now!
His sisters still love him, especially Sophi! She really enjoys dressing him up!
Poor guy!
He is still a super happy baby, smiling and laughing most of the time. 
He has started taking only one big 2 hour nap a day and the other nap is a short hour one which sometimes leaves him grumpy around dinner time...until he gets to the table and starts eating. Then life is good!
He flew on Pops airplane again this month to go visit his new cousin Webb. 
He and cousin Evie got to spend some sweet time together, giving her a taste of what it will be like to be a big sister soon!
 
He babbles a lot which is so cute to hear! He says "Mama"  for me and for "more" at the table. He says "BaBa" and "DaDa" too! He really likes to talk to his sisters!

 He, like his sister Maddie at this age, has discovered how to throw his paci out of the crib so we have to put 4 or 5 in with him so he will end up with one still in the bed when he finally decides to go to sleep!
 He has started having separation anxiety when being dropped off at church or when I leave him with anyone else. He is still a momma's boy and can turn on the drama when momma is around! I'm still pretty ok with it though! I am so in love with this little guy!



Sweet Siah, we are loving watching you grow. We are so thankful that God has allowed us to share life with you! We can't wait to see all that he has in store for you in the coming month!
