Rue turned Two

I know its so Cliche to say I can't believe that My child is two, but I CANT FLIPPING BELIEVE RUE IS TWO!! I think part of it is that I am emotional due to pregnancy but I'm having a hard time accepting He is already two. My mom keeps reminding Me another little one is on the way so Its ok Rue is getting bigger. Don't get Me wrong, I LOVE the little Man Ruger is growing into. He has His own independence, smart, funny and such His own Person.

Ruger is such a boy. If he think He can climb it or jump off of it He will, or at least try before a terrified Mom stops the adventure. Ruger is ALWAYS making messes. I mean I feel like every time I turn around He is into something or dumped something. I just laugh and take a picture. I find His expressions after to funny to be mad at.

More on to Ruger. It amazes Me how much He is learning, It seems like every few days He learns a new phrase or word. Ruger is SO sweet. If someone is crying He is quick to comfort them "With It's ok! You Ok.". I love it. He loves to share though not always His strong suit.

Rue had a few first the last 6 months. ( See previous post on the Rodeo and Bowling) We took Him to the Movies for the first time. Well second the first He as like just over a year and it didn't last more the 20 mins, Time We made it and He was happy He got a little figity at the last 20 mins but still did great. Though we were trying to keep Him sitting down the last few minutes so we detracted with Candy bad Idea since it was almost 10 and He had a SUGAR RUSH once we got Him home. Clayton asked what Is with Him?! I told him you can't blame Rue We did this to him ;)

Some of  Ruger's Favorites:

• Ruger LOVES His Papa. He loves ALL his Grandpas but I have to say He is super close with My Dad. He asks to go See Him at least once a day. Clayton always ask How I know which Grandpa He was talking about. I say because If I ask who else He say and HINTON!! Though when He is with His Grandpa's Fraughton and Atkins He adores Every minute with them! 
• Ruger is into Cars, Pirates, Mare Manes (Air Planes) and any kind of sports ball (well anything He can throw).
• Rocks! If we drive by some where, where you clearly see rocks He is quick to yell "Mom, Mom, ROCK!!!." as if its the coolest rock He has ever seen. He also HAS to throw them. Its like a uncontrollable urge. 
• Rue has to go to bed with Pillow, Manny (stuff animal), blanket, sippy cup, B (binki) we are working on getting rid of it, and a story. His favorite at the moment is NO DAVID.
• Berries. This is kid LOVES fruit and will eat most of it if you tell Him its a berry.
• Food: Crackers and Cheese, chips, yogurt and anything sugar.

Ruger's LEAST Favorite:

• The word NO. It will undoubtedly and immediately follow with the most perfected pout.
• Washing His hair. LOVES baths just not the getting clean part.
• Any green Veggies.
• Being the one not to leave. If one of Us hows to leave He isn't happy at ALL.

Words that He says wrong but its so adorable I can't correct Him. Mare Mane (Air Plane), Bic (chip), Out (for UP), and Bawk (Jump).

We Love our Little Man. I hate how time is flying but I am so Glad We get to experience it with you!

Ruger's Second Birthday Party, Bowling, and Rodeo

I was dead set on not having a Birthday Party for Ruger. Not that I don't LOVE throwing parties because to be perfectly honestly I LOVE IT. Though while being pregnant and not feeling well it was just not in the cards. I was simply just going to do cake and ice cream and call it good. That wasn't going to cut it for Derrick and Jessica. They decided that they would take charge of the party planning. They were awesome.

So We had a Jake and the Never Land Pirates party. They brought decorations, cake *which RUE freaked out about and even dived in before We could stop Him*. I am so grateful to them!! Thank you for everyone who came and did gifts it was so sweet (and for all the other loved ones who brought presents other days).

We also wanted to do a special date half for Ruger's birthday and half for just because. So we chose bowling. I have to admit I was feeling like a lot of Rue's "Firsts" were gone but this outing reminded ME that there are A LOT of "firsts" to come:)

Bowling was A hit. That is as long as He was the one bowling and NOT one of His parents. It should have been a perfect time for sharing and taking turns but I was just enjoying Him having fun. The first time His bowling ball went down I was saying "oh oh is it going to hit it?" So naturally That was His reaction for the rest of the time LOVE IT!

I have those reactions BUT they are sideways on the computer so when I figure out how to correct that I will fix it:)

We also were able to take Ruger to His first Rodeo. I honestly didn't want to go. I just imagined chasing Ruger all over the rodeo grounds and Him falling threw the benches. To My surprise He did very well! We did have great seats on the front row which gave Rue the perfect amount of running around space while staying some what confined.

I think Clayton was a bit disappointed that Ruger wasn't as excited about the animals...to be honest He really didn't care for them. He liked the motorcycles and the Rocks He could throw. I mean seriously give this kid a rock and He is in Heaven. Though we did capture these reactions to the motorcycles which prove He had a good time.
