Back in the Toy Box again

The girls have now turned 13 months old. It just doesn't seem possible!! They are doing more and more every day and it gets a little interesting around here some days. I used to joke about when they started walking that I bet one would go in one direction and one in the other, but it's not as funny now as it used to be. That's exactly what Rory and Abby do for their mommy at least a hundred times every single day. One will go one way to get into something and the other will head in the opposite direction. People laugh when they come to our house because everything keeps migrating to higher and higher shelves. The girls are growing so tall that it's hard to keep things out of their reach! Both girls have also learned how to climb. Abby is so proud of herself because she can get up on our "big" couch all by herself! I can hear her giggling from the other room and I know what she is up to. She will climb up on the couch and roll around and laugh. It's too cute! Rory likes to climb into their toy baskets. That way, she has control over all of the toys. She will hand Abby a couple of toys and then sit on the rest of them that are in the box. Silly Rory. This last Sunday at church, the girls moved to a new class because they have completely outgrown the newborn nursery. Whenever the babies start walking really well, they move them to Nursery 2. We've held off on having them promoted as long as possible, but it was definitely time. The girls adjusted better than I think Michael & I or their old Sunday school teacher did. They both waved "bye-bye" and blew Miss Bessy kisses as they went to their new room. Our precious little angels are growing up so fast.
