Drum Roll Please....

Well, the time has come! I guess 13 is the lucky number! Almost 13 months to the day, and the girls popped up and decided to walk! While Ruby has been taking her first steps - 2 or 3 in a row (and only towards someone's open arms) - On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, Lily surprised us both! She just jumped to her feet and started cruising! I guess after Ruby saw us both clapping and cheering for Lily, she said, "Hey, I know how to do that too! Is that all you wanted!?" And she starts running around the house, too! They're pro's!
Here they go! Don't mind Daddy as he tries to clap with the camera in his hands... could make you sea sick! Lily was pretty exhausted at this point. She was doing a lot better at staying up before. She just didn't want to stop!!

Above is Ruby taking her turn around the kitchen. Don't judge me because my children's PJ's don't fit and/or they are naked. You can't win every battle.
I think we might need traffic lights around here!!

I think you should just freeze them at this age; they are still cute, they cant demand things yet, and they don't make smart a$$ comments yet. Yup, keep them this age.

So cute. I bet you have your hands full. I love how excited Owen was to see them standing there in our living room!

I mostly like it best when Lily walks like a gorilla. That makes me laugh :)

Our son Jefferson watched these videos with me and cheered and clapped for them. :-) Good job girls!
