Twitter bootstrap – My footer won't stay at the bottom of my page

I’m new to using bootstrap 3 and having a hard time with my footer. So I’m using a sticky footer and trying to keep my footer at the bottom of my home page but it keeps moving up. How can I correct this?

    You can play with this a bit. I pulled it from the Bootstrap 3 documentation. 

    .footer {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  /* Set the fixed height of the footer here */
  height: 60px;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
