"I want to hold her standing up, PLEASE!!!'

I probably hear this phrase 20 times a day, for some reason they want to hold her standing up.  I guess they see Coleman doing it and they want to prove they can too! Well Ruby is 16 1/2 lbs of dead weight, so this is no easy task.  Leland can do it pretty good, but she can't walk around at all. Claire on the other hand needs a little help, and Claire likes to do things HERSELF!  This can be a challenge for me to "help" her without her knowing.  Today I put my foot under Ruby's butt to help hold her up.  Claire thought she was so big and strong.  
I love that these girls love their baby sister so much, but if Ruby is anything like me sometimes you need a little breathing room.  OK maybe it's just me that needs breathing room, because Ruby is always happy when her sisters are around. 
Look at those chubby thighs! WOW!
Claire looks a little drugged. Hey that's an idea, maybe if I give Claire enough benadryl  she would sleep all day and leave me ALONE! 
I love how Ruby is looking up at her big sisters. 
She is probably thinking "please don't drop me".
So Sweet!
