the mathewes family

A short list of things Ruthie says:

• Hi / Bye
• Hot / "Coo" (for "Cold")
• Papa / Mama / Daddy
• Shoes / Sees (for "Please")
• "Oof oof oof!" (what a doggie says)
• "Eeeoow!" (what a kitty says)
• Uh-oh
• Uhh, soo, eee (for "One, two, three!")
• No
• Na-night

She's getting to be quite the babble-talker, always having something to say. Usually, it involves asking for Papa (Steve's dad).

Example: "Papa, oosh, wisghdafywehfdahfwhgehfea, papa," coupled by an emphatic nod of some sort.

Uncle Kevin got to visit rather unexpectedly but wonderfully earlier this week, and I got to take a video of him and Daddy playing with Ruthie.

I had all this video footage from June and July that I hadn't used yet, so here goes! Y'all can click through and view Ruthie's antics from June, and her discovery of fireworks in July.

Of course, both videos are archived and available for high-quality download from the links above. Enjoy them!
