2 steps!

Addy and her "ponytail." :) 
Big girl Emily!

Any guesses who took their first TWO steps last night?!!!  Yup - Emily Ann!  :)  Ryan and I couldn't believe our eyes the first time she did it...so we made her do it again just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.  And sure enough, she did it several times!  Only 2 steps though - but still - can't believe she walked TWO WHOLE steps by herself!!! :)  So exciting!  Meanwhile, Addy has been mastering clapping her hands...and Hailey is a pro at waving "buh-bye."  It's so fun and entertaining watching them LEARN!  I love it! :)  
However, I am NOT loving wiping down 3 babies and 3 highchairs 3 times a day after meals.  It wears me out!  Oh - and wiping up the floor nonstop too.  Our rags have about had it!  I already need a whole new set of rags because they stink even after I wash them now.  :)  But yea, mealtimes are definitely getting to be difficult and extremely messy.  In some ways, getting up at 4 a.m. and feeding 3 bottles was easier than wiping 30 sticky fingers, 3 messy screaming faces, and cleaning and wiping up and shaking out and scrubbing and rinsing off and doing it all over again to 3 highchairs everyday!  ahhh!! :)  You gotta love the new stages! :)

I feel your pain about the CLEANING! I'm looking into getting a triplet table. It looks so much easier to clean than all the crevasses in the highchairs. It says they can use it to 24 months and beyond. I figure it'll be worth it for the next year!

I cannot believe little miss emily took her first steps. WOW! YIPPEE! did you die? I bet you guys are so excited, blown away and can't believe how fast they are growing. That is absolutely incredible...big girls. Shell, I have a tear in my eye because I'm so excited for you guys. What an incredible experience to see your baby girl take her first steps. I imagine Hailey will have nothing of that and will catch right up to her along with addy (love the bow by the way :)) love you guys so much and congrats! I'll call you soon!!!!!!!!!!
