Sleeping on the day he was sick . . ..

A precious picture of my baby sleeping.

No fall festival

You would be able to see pictures here from Jordan's school's fall festival - complete with his fireman costume, I'm sure more bouncy house pictures and lots of games. Unfortunately, he came home from school early yesterday because he was sick. We thought it was just the fact that he didn't sleep well last night, but he had a fever even after a long nap. I took him to the doctor and while we were in the exam room, he threw up - all over himself AND me. Not good for a nauseous pregnant woman to have to breathe that in and hold her sick child, but I made it. And so did he. It appears he just had some kind of stomach bug. He seems to be feeling a lot better now.

He's going to Nana's this weekend, so I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to share on Monday!

A bath and some crazy hair . . . .



Fun in the bouncy house at Gramma's apartment complex's fall festival (you may be seeing a pattern - Jordan LOVES these things)

It's a little goofy, but here's a picture that the alumni council took of us at my college homecoming.

A week of updates

As I predicted, I haven't been very good at updating this. Here are some highlights from the past week and a half:

Jordan's Aunt was famous for saying "My do it myself" when she was his age. He has inherited her stubborness (of course, he didn't get any of it from his mother or his nana) and insists on doing everything himself. So, here he is brushing his teeth after rejecting the help of both Mommy and Daddy

Any of you who know Jordan know that he has an obsession with music - beyond the normal two year's olds love of noise and movement. His latest form of that obsession is with musical instruments. He likes all kinds, but especially guitars. He is particularly adept at picking out guitars in songs on the radio or on CDs/Daddy's ipod and insisting that we play them over and over again. We bought him a guitar this weekend at Cracker Barrell and he literally gets out of bed asking for it.

This picture is from church. No specific reason, I just thought it was cute. He can't pass up a water fountain. As you can imagine, the result was "I wet Mommy."

We went to the fire prevention parade. Jordan LOVES fire trucks and he know that his Uncle Neal is a fireman, so every truck he sees is "Neal's fire truck." As you can see, I couldn't get him to pose with Sparky, the firedog, and I couldn't get him to look at me while wearing his favorite new hat.

New Haircut

It's been a pretty uneventful week and weekend here at the Gilford house. Mommy and Daddy have both been busy at work, so not a lot of picture-taking occurred. On Saturday, we went to a birthday party for Daddy's co-worker's son. We were glad Jordan isn't old enough to remember how great the party was and expect Mommy and Daddy to plan something so elaborate. The party was Halloween themed and was complete with a haunted house, game stations, prizes and Halloween themed food. There was a hayride, but we snuck out a little early and didn't get to enjoy that. Unfortunately, Mommy forgot to charge the camera battery, so no pictures.

Before the party, Daddy took Jordan to get a haircut. Here's a couple pictures of him, sporting the new cut and "driving" Daddy's car while Daddy is cleaning it out.

On Sunday, we took a trip to Evan's Orchard for the Family Fun Fest.

Jordan played in the pumpkins,


Ran into his buddy Kyan from school,

Jumped in the Bouncy House,

went down the slide with Mommy . . . (sliding on a potato sack was a little too fast for Mommy's taste), and
Rode the pony. Here, he's saying "yahoo," just like Tyrone on the Backyardigans.
