Well, Lily started walking yesterday! She has been pulling herself up for a few months. A few weeks ago she started pushing around our chairs and a plastic walker. She even would walk down the hall holding onto the wall like Spiderman. Now she is taking steps and can walk a few feet at a time.
It's funny how the two can be so different and so much alike. Lily hasn't really liked bananas until I let her feed herself and take her own bites. Phillip LOVED to feed himself bananas and I found a picture of him eating one at the same age. He would inhale his bananas. Pete's sister, Paige would freak out when he would take two or three inch bites of banana at a time. ha!!
Phillip keeps us on our toes and says the funniest things. Pete was hanging up our framed quote of President Hinckley's book, "Way to Be". Phillip asked what that was and Pete listed off the different values, "Be Grateful, Be Smart, Be Involved, Be Clean, Be True, Be Positive, Be Humble, Be Still, Be Prayerful."
Phillips said, "yeah, Be Great, Be Prayerful, and stay out of the way!"
Phillip's latest thing is to act like different characters: "Three" the dog, a nice ghost, an ice cream salesman, and a baby named 'meme.' He's pretty intense when he plays make believe and it's really hard for him to break character. He even got angry with Lily because she was walking towards the spot where Pete had set down an imaginary glass of lemonade.

You need to post a video of her walking.
You've got funny kids - I think you should start helping Phillip write little stories. Have him dictate it and then he makes the illustrations.
I think Lily has red hair!
