Ruger and Quincee

We went  over to visit Kim My best friend from high school and her baby Quincee today. Ruger LOVED Quincee and was a super big flirt.

Teething Bites

I think Ruger's teething, I say think because there are no teeth yet but,

1. He has a pool of drool that's his constant companion.
2. He Bites/attacks everything!
3. When he's fussy teething tablets work like a charm
4. The doctor said most likely He is teething they just haven't popped up yet.

The other night broke both our hearts. Ruger had settled down in bed. We were out in the living room and We hear the saddest cry. I ran into the bedroom to find him still crying but asleep! Still with his Binki in his mouth. So sad. He stopped so we just let him stay in his crib.

A few minutes later we settling into bed and  it happened again!!! Normally if Ruger is crying and I pick him up He settles down right into my arms and is back to sleep...not this time with his eyes still closed and the sad cry EVER still coming out at full steam, I put him in bed and went to get some Tylenol and a bottle.

Now normally When Ruger gets in our bed he will just lay next to Clayton and Clayton will talk to him or give him is Binki (or me whoever is the one staying in bed with Ruger). However when I brought the bottle and medicine back to the bedroom Clayton had scooped him up cuddling him trying to console him. It was so sweet to see Clayton so concerned and worried trying everything to make our poor baby stop crying. I gave the medicine and a bottle. Soon he was off to dream land and didn't cry again. Traumatized I let him sleep with us all night just in case He woke again but to my delight he only woke to eat :)

I don't think people realize how BAD teething hurts. I do however. How you may ask? Well I was a late bloomer with my teeth I mean  my first teeth didn't fall out forever. Like FOREVER! The dentist was baffled at my teeth. For example my  two front teeth wore down to only a white sliver. The middle had a whole to gums. My point?I was teething way longer then any child should ever. So I experienced teething at an age where I can remember then pain. So next time your little one is teething, remember it really does BITE!

That's my Hubby

     Ok let me start this post on how cute Clayton is!! I truly am so in love him! He is always making me smile and laugh!!! Though in our family the word cute is not necessarily a compliment.

Cute: A term to used to describe someone when they do something ditsy,stupid, funny ect. Though doing it in a entertaining way. In other words a sweet term to cover up how silly you are.

     Last night Clayton came home gave me a kiss and pulled out a beautiful bouquet of flowers from behind his back. I was delighted (what girl doesn't like flowers ;) I soon realized Clayton's face wasn't exactly happy. He started to explain he had picked out these flowers because they were the best of the  bunch but when he had already bought them he noticed half of the flowers were dead. He actually started to apologize! I told him I LOVED THEM!!! Plus we could just pluck the dead ones, and if anyone saw them they would think he had bought them a week or two ago. The saying It's the thought that counts is SO TRUE!! Just the thought that he thought to stop on the way home and pick flowers up for me is touching enough! I  love him and I am so grateful for all he does for me even if it doesn't always work according to plan ;)

This post is actually from a while back but I never pushed publish.

Planet Play

The whole Fraughton Clan all went to Planet Play for Jessica and Jake's birthdays! Its  included on the pass of all passes. I was lame and didn't get any pictures! That is one of my new years resolution is TAKE MORE PICTURES!!!

Any who it was an absolute blast!! We played laser tag, mini bowling, Go karts, arcade games, ate some delicious cake, and just had fun! If you haven't been I would recommend  it:) Here is there link: http://planetplayutah.com/

Grandma tired putting Ruger on the mini carousel, he hated that..So I thought maybe He needed Mommy to do it, UM NO big fat NO...maybe when he is older we will try again. He loved all the lights and colors.

We will def. be going back for some more fun!!

Zoey Nichole

We went to Zoey's Blessing on the 3rd. It was beautiful as always. Love this little girl!! Her and Ruger and about 5 months apart! It will be so fun growing up so close for them!! Congrats again Nichole and Nic she is beautiful!!

Ruger scared Zoey in the second picture on the bottom, and actually LAUGHED!! Hopefully He won't turn into a bully;)

6 Months What!?

Get ready for a super LONG post:)

 Dear Ruger,

We had our first Story time this month, you actually sat still and loved it! Your Uncle Hinton also read a book to you, which you also loved!!

The other day I was feeling down about not being able to breast feed you for multiple reasons. Though  now your holding your on bottle (sometimes) and its AWESOME!! I have so much free time, I didn't realize how much time it takes to feed you until I didn't have to all the time. This really comes in handy when its 1:00 a.m. and you decide your hungry and 5:00 a.m. that's most nights though you like to throw a  3:00 a.m. in there just for fun;) You also love to hit your bottle while you eat...why I have no idea. You love to show off as I call it. You will hold it with one hand, spin it around and try to do tricks with it. Most of the time you can get it back in your mouth but sometimes you need a little help.

You have such a personality, your very hmmm whats the word...Dramatic. It can be in good or bad ways. If you don't get your way which usually includes not eating what were eating or getting my cell phone you FLIP OUT. There's been several family parties where people ask " WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM?!" my reply 9 times out of 10 is "I'm not feeding him fast enough..". That being said your a Piggy! On the flip side you get SO excited. When your happy which is about 90% of the time your very happy!!

Your'er so sociable. You love people laughing, smiling, and cooing. One of the new things this month is you  lean and lift your arms half way, I think this is because you don't want to put 100% effort into it. You do it just enough to let us know you want us. Either way its ADORABLE...Its so fun for us to know you want us or someone else by your showing us. Another way you show you want someone in particular is you will stare at them and then grunt until they look at you then you smile followed by your lean&Lift.

You now say DADA!! Daddy couldn't be more proud!! Its adorable but a Mama here and there wouldn't kill ya;) The original video accidentally got deleted, though its on facebook so this one isn't very good but its all I got so far;)

You started saying it yesterday and haven't stopped it seems. You love if anyone says a word you know because you light up and get this look like YAY these goof balls and I can finally communicate!! You Still say Hi which is still cute,you say ba-ba and Say the B sound extremely well...

I know I know your a Genius, 3 words for a 6 months is well... Genius:)  No-one believes Us when we say what you can say until they either here you or see the video.

Your sleeping habits as mentioned before stink, but oh well sleep is for when I'm retired and your of with your own family right? One of my FAVORITE things is when Dad puts you in bed with us and you feel around the bed until you can feel me then your off to dream land, PRECIOUS!!

We celebrated your half birthday with a Coldstone Cupcake last night. (this way it would be harder for your to actually get anything) Mostly you just played with the frosting in your hand, you did get a tiny lick, which was so surprising because you love food. we were expecting you to shove the whole thing in. Afterwards you got a nice warm bath, one of your FAVORITES. You kick, slide, and splash. Most of all you love to gibber gabber, I think you like the sound of your voice underwater.

Though you have said Dada first you are such a mommy's boy. Anytime I leave the room your searching until I get back.You can be crying and as soon as you see me you start to calm down and smile. Sometimes when Dads holding you will stare at me the entire time. LOVE IT!! Except when I'm trying to get stuff done, then its just a tad bit frustrating and its an excuse for me just to be lazy and play with you so sometimes I don't care so much:)

You want to run and be off on your own. So many times you will slide off someones lap or lean forward to try and get down and play. You want to be a "Big" boy so bad...Don't worry kid your getting there.You  already get into stuff you shouldn't. For example:

• Mom and Dad's food that is not baby food.
• Wipes
• Any kind of cord
• Cell phones
• Actually anything you shouldn't get that I think is just out of your reach you still manage to grab.

You also started waving your hands...well actually it looks more like a give me give me sign...I'm trying  to teach you to put your arms up when you do it so it will look like a wave but no such luck.


You love your Jumper though only for short amounts of time but hey I'll Take it! You also have started to play by yourself with your toys, yet again only for a few minutes but hey its improvement.

You LOVE LOVE your Uncle Derrick...

You also Love to play where's Daddy. You and Me will sit on the couch and daddy will pop up in different places around the couch you laugh and laugh. Plus you will try and anticipate where he will pop up next by looking back and forth and around the corners. You hate when anything gets in your way you'll try your best to look around the object in your way in this instance my phone.

You love music,Your favorite however is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, it calms you down almost instantly.

Here are your month check up stats:

Height: 16.56% tile 26 in.
Weight: 46.92 % tile  17.59 lbs.
Head: 38.76% tile 17 in.

So  your a little short but so were your uncles at this age and they are over 6ft. ;)

I love you Ruger K.C. Fraughton. Your so fun and loving!! I'm so so excited for the weather to warm up so we can go on lost of adventures!

Trip Down Movie lane, and NEW EVE YEARS

We found some of our favorite childhood movies on Netflix. First Fox and the Hound and The Rescuers Down Under. We were interested to see what Ruger thought.  The first one he watched here and there but he seemed very interested when he watched. The second he only paid attention here and there but he did love and laugh at the little green guy named Frank.

New Years was fun. First The Wiggin's  and Wardell Clan all got take out and then went to my Aunt's to pig out. Sadly my Dad's order to China Isle took over two and half hours after he already paid for it. He had picked up my food so sadly it was cold. Though what a trooper. Though my Mother in law and plenty of yumminess waiting at her house. We and Clayt's older sister Nichole and her family went over and played phase ten, candy poker, and Rock Band. (Sadly Jen and her family were home with sick with one of our nephews.) It was a blast we rang in the new year with Sparkling Cider and of Course I kissed my handsome hubby. We slept over and hung out till early afternoon. It was so fun hopefully a new tradition is born.

Here is my little  Amber playing the drums with me...LOVE her...

Ruger loves his Uncles...

Lately Our Nephew Jaxen (Nichole's son) has been attached to my hip. As soon as we got there He ran to his Mom yelling "Meghan's here! Meghan's here!!" Totally warmed my heart.

These three didn't make it till midnight....

 The boys in  the family including Dad would not settle down for the longest time and there game took forever to end so we could say family prayer. Once we all knelt down the boys couldn't stop laughing...boys will be boys...

When we finally got to bed Kolten had put chocolates on our pillows...love that kid.

I love my In laws  I've been super blessed to have married Clayton but I've also been blessed with marrying into his Family. I love them all and love how we all have bonded.

Its on to a new year bring it on baby!! I'm so excited to make the memories this year that we will make. I'm excited for Ruger to have all the memories we will make! Here's to 2013.
