I can't believe it but this little man is 10 months old!!!!
Lets just say this photo session was the hardest yet! This little guy will not sit still!!! He is sooo over getting his picture taken from the moment we sit down!
Josiah's personality has really started to imerge over the past month! The biggest thing we have learned about him:
HE IS A PEST!!! He is the typically pesty little brother. He LOVES to pull the girls hair, Maddie's in particular. He also loves taking WHATEVER they are playing with even if he has toys of his own right in front of him. He also knows he is being bad and thinks it is so funny! He will look back and at us, checking in, before moving right along to being bad even as we are telling him no, laughing all the while! What a mess!
Below is his checking in face before moving on to mischief:
He has grown in his animation, still loves blowing raspberries but now talks all the time. No real words but lots of mama, dada, baba, and so on. He carries on lots of conversations with his sisters which is pretty cute to hear!
He has also started making these really funny faces when you are taking his picture. I'm not sure if he sees the girls smile for pictures and so thinks this is what he is supposed to do. It is hysterical!!
Check out those teeth!!!
He now has 6 teeth that have come through, four on the top and two on the bottom! This is sooo unlike my girls, I'm not used to seeing babies with teethy smiles! It's pretty cute don't you think?!
Some other things about Siah that have happen this past month:
-He takes two bottles of formala a day
-He is dropping his morning nap, only takes one really good 2 hour nap a day (ughh!! Just like Sophi)
-Poor guy has had that same ear infection since last month, been on lots of antibiotic and has an appointment with the ENT next week to discuss tubes (our poor kids and their ears!)
-He pulls up on EVERYTHING, cruises, walks around with his walker and can walk holding on to one hand. He is very close to walking but still prefers crawling as his favorite mode of transportation
-He can crawl up any set of stairs but is still learning how to go down. He is more cautious than either of his sisters and won't just fall down the stairs, instead he cries until someone will come and get him as apposed to figuring out how to get down on his own!
-He is ALL boy! He loves wrestling, any kind of ball, and anything with wheels. He can throw a ball back and forth with us and loves to push his cars and airplanes all around the floor! Nothing like my girls!
-He HATES getting his diaper changed or having clothes put on. It is such a chore to have to do this and josh and I are always playing rock, paper, scissors to determine who HAS to change him!
He had his first trip to Disney World this past month and really enjoyed himself! He loved all the characters, they always could find a way to make him laugh.
(I love this picture because Sophi and Siah are BOTH holding their hands!)
This encounter was really funny as Siah wanted to touch her sparkly dress, she was not so amused by it! Notice me holding his arm...
-While he is still a momma's boy at heart, he has really started gravitating towards men. If there is a man around you can find Siah crawling over to him and wanting to be held by him. So cute. He bonded with Pops while on our Disney trip!
He had his first Thanksgiving with Grammy and Poppy...
...and has started his first Advent season with us!
We are so in love with this little guy and so thankful that God gave him to us. He brings so much joy and laughter to our family and we can't imagine our life without him in it! Can't wait to see all the ways he grows over this next month!
