Two Steps!!!

It has happened....way too soon! Nathanial took two steps!!! Very wobbly, but two steps nonetheless. I believe Ethan and him are competing to see who will walk first. They both stand for several seconds without holding on to anything. Lately, I have been beginning to think Ethan will walk first, but maybe Nathanial will pick up the pace and do it. I cannot believe that at only 9 months they are even attempting this stuff!! Austin walked at 10 months, 10 days and Aidan didn't even try until he was 15 1/2 months old. I was kind of hoping they'd be closer to Aidan, but it appears they won't be. Noah is still very nervous. He will cruise right along beside them and stand up with them, but he never lets go and clenches on to me or Steve very tightly to be sure we don't let go. But, he does follow them pretty closely, so if they walk, he probably will sooner rather than later.

I know I keep saying it....I am sooo not ready for this!!!

Standing...already?!?!

Today I tried to get a decent picture of each of the babies in the steel tub, which I have done with each of the other boys. Ha! Nice try! It started out OK, but they really didn't want to cooperate.

Noah was the first one up. I put him in and started snapping away, when all of the sudden....HE STOOD UP!!! By HIMSELF!!! Scary! I knew he has been able to stand if you put him in that position, but he has never pulled himself up on anything. Fantastic!

Why, oh why, do they have to grow up so fast???
