Ruth

Ruth has a few things she is trying to to do.

1. She is trying her hardest to carry on a conversation with someone. If this keeps up, she will be the most talkative of the girls. None of what she says makes sense yet, but that doesn't stop her. My guess is that she just has an opinion on everything. (Not sure where that comes from.)
2. She is trying to learn to jump. So far, she has failed to get airborne. She is learning this from either Emma, who likes to jump like a frog, or from Mario, who likes to jump all over the place.
3. She is trying to read. She can sit for an hour looking at books. You think she's being too quiet, which for certain of her sisters is a bad thing, but when you go to look for her, she's just sitting somewhere reading a book.
4. She is trying to learn to wink, which is always funny in a baby.
   

Anyway, she's got a lot going on right now, not sure how that will go once Kate and Mary start school here coming up. We'll have to see.
