First Words

It is time for us to get back to normal posts about Ruth. We will post updates on doctors visits and things but will focus on Ruth's developments and daily life.

Yes, it is true, Ruth said her first word on Friday at only five months old. Let me give you some background. Ruth really only cries now and pitches a fit when she is tired. This girl will fight sleep until she practically falls asleep mid-sentence. On Friday it was a typical day with me trying to put Ruth down for a nap and Ruth fighting me. She started to cry saying "unn gee, unn gee." Since she only says these words when angry, I can only assume that unn gee means angry. She has exercised her new word several times since then and every time it is during an angry fit.

To Ruth I simply say, "unn gee indeed. Unn gee."
