"I love my mom because she's having a baby sister" says Shepherd, 7. "She is really beautiful" offers Jackson, 13. "She let us watch Paddington FOUR times" Houston, 5, adds. "I like everything about my Mom!" Campbell,9, states with confidence.  

Preparing For Ruby Jane

Once the initial fears of having a GIRL in the house and PINK, the boys quickly settled into their protective older brother roles.  The Lair boys eagerly awaited their parents' return with the newest family member.
“We’ve had a girl’s name in the vault for 13 years,” Stephen told NewsObserver. 
But Cher was second guessing their choice while at the hospital.  Ruby Jane Lair.
“It’s a great name, “It’s a beautiful name.” Stephen offered.

Ruby Jane instantly grabbed the hearts of her six brothers.  Ruby will be smothered with love and protection... and maybe a little sparring over favorite colors!
"This is Ruby, and I love her" quips Shepherd. "I'm excited that she's here, I'm scared because it's a girl... I'm definitely going to be a protector..." offers Campbell. "She's as precious as a ruby" states Sawyer. "I'm worried about the pink..." says Houston.

WATCH: Ruby Jane's First Birthday

On Ruby's first birthday a follow-up video was taken. It interviewed the boys while they held their sister. It's obvious that her brothers are still over the moon about her.  Even if she is loud, squirmy, and a girl.
"She doesn't stop talking...ever" "I think she's so cute"
The boys are so overjoyed with Ruby that when they heard Mom was pregnant again, they only chose female names! Yes, Lair Baby #8. [/slide]
“Ruby has messed us all up. She reigns supreme. She’s at an age now where she’s funny and they’re all teaching her to say their names,” Cher told People Magazine. “They love everything about her…they even love seeing what she’s going to wear every day. They think she hung the moon.”
Of course, the Lair's did another gender reveal. This time they had a friend spray silly string in the gender color.  But it's wasn't pink.  The Lairs just welcomed their eighth child... and their seventh BOY! 6 Brothers Welcome Their New Baby Sister And It's Adorable _ god updates credit: Facebook/Cher Lair h/t: everything inspirational YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Couple Battles Infertility, Then Winds Up Conceiving 3 Sets Of Twins godupdates couple battling infertility conceives 3 sets of twins fb Credit: Fox 17 News [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"]
