I had a procedure on my wrist today and have been told to take it easy. As a result this week posting will consist of short posts, photos, and other drivel.
Nora took two steps on Friday. Four steps on Saturday and Sunday.
This evening she took nine.
And, not to be outdone, Nick got off a chair and stood up unassisted.
He then took off, which we have on camera.
Apologies for my shrieking and screaming in the background.

Your friend Dana said it best - don't apologize for being a proud parent.
Go babies, go! AMAZING!

Awesome. I love how Nora's little legs are at such a wide 'holding' stance.

At the risk of being one of those people you bitch about later...
YOU ARE SO IN FOR IT! And lordy, they are adorable. Nick's look of absolute glee is brilliant.

Fabulous! Nothing like a bit of sibling competition there. Particularly like the stock marker reporr in the background too.

That just made me cry! I recognize Nora's wide open grin in my little girl's drooly smile when I help her sit up. She's only 5 months old, but I can see where she's heading... N&N are absolutely adorable!

Uh Oh. No more rest for the big people. Still... one of those parenting milestones you'll never forget.

I think I SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEd so hard I nearly wet myself, and then got H to come and see too. (He says 'Awwww', by the way, and 'well done,' and, I'm afraid, 'was that Nick and Nora screaming? No? Helen? Really?').

Wow. My Boobah took some unassisted steps today, too. What an amazing time, right?

What an exciting day!
Graeme watched this over and over again shouting encouragement to Nick and Nora. Go babies, go!

Yay!
Is she wearing socks with traction on the bottom? I can't tell. If those are just tights on wood floors, it's going to be a lot longer before she takes off lol.
Love Angus's shorts and black socks. Sexy.

That made me smile, and tears come to my eyes. The babies are growing up and doing it proud. And what screaming? I did not hear a thing.

Oh my god, I don't think it's possible for that video to be any cuter.
I just love the looks on their faces, and I did have to laugh at Nick's head popping in and out of frame as he stood up and subsequently fell. Sorry.
Yay babies!

Also, they absolute joy in both of their faces is just priceless. They really are so sweet and adorable!

My God they are adorable. What a week you've had! So exciting - and brag all you want, mama.
J didn't really get the hang of walking until I stripped off his footed pjs or his socks. Once he was barefoot he was able to figure it out a lot easier. Not trying to give assvice, but well, apparently doing it nonetheless.
