Tyler and Reid

what's out there?

2008-10-08T12:42:00.000-07:00

Not too sure what he was looking at, but it sure made him happy!

Young love!

2008-10-08T12:30:00.000-07:00

Ok, so they probably won't get married or anything like that, but I think they will be the best of friends forever. At least I hope so! But how freaking cute are those two??

Happy 2.5 Birthday Tyler!

2008-10-08T12:13:00.000-07:00

I had a great 2.5 birthday party!! Spongebob is my fav, so of course that's what the theme was. I especially loved opening all the great gifts and eating as many cupcakes as I could! And boy were they messy!! Even Uncle Joe couldn't keep it off his face!

2008-10-08T12:05:00.000-07:00

Tyler loves his bath time!! And ya gotta love that gap between those teeth!! He get's that from my side of the family. Me, mom, and grandma had one!!

time to play catch up!

2008-10-08T11:48:00.001-07:00

Ok, so it's been waaaayyyyy toooo long since I have posted pics of my beautiful boys. Reid is 10 months old now, and changing every day. Tyler is almost 3 now, and boy is he a lil firecracker. He keeps me on my toes, that's for sure. Here are some more recent pics of them. Enjoy!!

new swingset!

2008-04-28T08:25:00.000-07:00

We got a great deal on this swingset for the kids, and now it's all I can do to keep Tyler inside, even when it's cold and raining. But we have a blast on it!!!

tuckered out!

2008-04-28T08:19:00.000-07:00

Phew, learning to hold my big head up sitting in this chair is wearing me out.

Bobblehead!

2008-04-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so what I have a large head!!! Like Dr. Emily said, big heads mean lotsa brains, and the 95 percentile isn't all that bad! Well, ok, so maybe it is, but stop calling me a bobble head mom!!!

Exersaucer time!!!

2008-04-28T07:57:00.000-07:00

What do you mean, it's time to get out???? Uhhhh, I don't think so!! I'm kinda liking this thing!

Blue eyed boy!

2008-04-28T07:52:00.000-07:00

Well, it looks like Reids blue eyes are here to stay!! At least I hope!

more pics.....

2008-04-28T07:43:00.000-07:00

It's been a while......

2008-04-28T07:34:00.001-07:00

so here are a bunch of pics from the past few months.

ghetto

2008-03-09T09:28:00.001-07:00

Yeah, Tyler is looking a lil ghetto with these hats on, but still a great pic of him. He looks sooooo serious!

Faces

2008-01-16T12:55:00.001-08:00

tummy time

2008-01-16T12:01:00.000-08:00

Yeah, so Reid is not a huge fan of tummy time. Tyler was there to give moral support though.

Potty Training sucks!!!

2008-01-16T11:56:00.000-08:00

All I know is that this potty training thing really sucks. Tyler has the general idea of what to do, and he lets us know when he goes in the diaper, but he hasn't figured out to tell us before he goes. We have had a handful of successful times in the potty, but it is almost a game to him. I'll be glad when this part is all over!! Aaahhhhhh.......

Happy 2nd birthday Tyler!!

2008-01-16T11:35:00.000-08:00

I can't believe my baby just turned 2. My, where has the time gone?? He is growing up so fast, and is getting smarter and smarter every single day. His vocabulary, his silly, dramatic faces, basically everything about him just amazes me. I look back on his pictures and in a way it makes me sad that my baby isn't really a baby anymore. But then I think of how wonderful it has been to see him transform from a baby to the independent little toddler that he is today. I can't wait to see where this new year will take us!

Santa's lil helpers

2008-01-16T11:30:00.001-08:00

family pics

2008-01-16T09:56:00.000-08:00

Meeting Santa

2008-01-16T09:36:00.000-08:00

Santa came over to Sophie and Lily's house and Tyler and Reid got to meet him. Tyler wasn't too keen on sitting on his lap though. But in the end, he did give santa a hug goodbye!

Burrito baby!

2007-12-20T20:01:00.000-08:00

I just have to say, this is the best invention ever!! It's called the Miracle Blanket, and I honestly believe that it is a miracle. I think it's the reason that we are getting anywhere from 4 1/2 - 6 hours a night of sleep out of a 2 week old, or else we just got really really lucky!!

Smiley face

2007-12-20T19:52:00.000-08:00

Reid is quite the happy baby. He is usually grinning after he eats, so I can't wait to see how happy he is once he can get the good stuff!!!

Regressing just a bit!

2007-12-19T05:54:00.001-08:00

My mom got Reid this cool play mat that plays music and lights, and now Tyler thinks it's his new toy. And for some strange reason when he first layed down on the pillow he got teary and almost started crying! Out of nowhere!! Ahhh, 2 year olds! He is also wanting Reids binky, which he hasn't had one in well over a year. I guess we should be thankful he isn't wanting a bottle too!! But I am loving the fact that Reid is so awake and alert this young and the lights and sounds just totally captivate him!!!

From pouty to happy

2007-12-19T05:47:00.000-08:00

Reid kept making these funny faces so I grabbed the camera, and luckily I caught this great one of him smiling. And people say babies this young only smile b/c of gas!!! Don't believe it for a second!!!

flippin' the bird!

2007-12-19T05:42:00.000-08:00

Ok, so Jason and I were playing cards the other night, and when I went to check on Reid this is how I found him!!! Maybe that was his way of telling us we should be holding him instead of playing cards, even though it was 10 pm!!!

Playing dress up.....

2007-12-12T11:15:00.000-08:00

I just love wearing hats, sunglasses, and much to dad's dismay, mommy's headbands! So what, I like to accessorize!

Sweet Baby

2007-12-12T11:11:00.000-08:00

How can you not love this face, chubby cheeks and all???

Future DJ!

2007-12-12T11:07:00.000-08:00

Reid must have been dreaming of spinning some records last night!

Big boy chair

2007-12-12T11:02:00.000-08:00

I am loving my new big boy chair! It was an early xmas present, b/c I really needed/wanted my OWN chair. And the fact that it turns into a bed with a sleeping bag is even better!

Curly haired boy!

2007-12-12T10:58:00.000-08:00

So, I think Tyler inherited my curly hair! His hair is kinda out of control, especially after his bath. But he is letting us dry his hair with the dryer, so that keeps it looking more tidy!

Heavy!

2007-12-12T10:49:00.000-08:00

Phew, Reid is heavy! Mom had to help me hold him, but now that's all I want to do!

I love my brother

2007-12-12T10:40:00.000-08:00

Apparently I am not supposed to try and pick my brother up off the floor, but I just wanted to hold him after giving him a big hug!

A tight fit!

2007-12-12T10:31:00.000-08:00

Hey look, I can still fit in my old car seat!!!

Reid Carter Jordan is here!!!

2007-12-08T06:34:00.000-08:00

Reid finally made it into this world on Wednesday, December 5th at 1:13 pm and weighed in at 8 lbs 6.5 oz and is 19.8 inches long. We came home on the 6th and so far everything is going great! He is sleeping for 5 hour stretches at night, which is wonderful for us. And Tyler is just amazed by him. We will keep everyone posted as time goes on.

Mohican Halloween weekend

2007-10-25T18:52:00.000-07:00

We went to visit some friends at Mohican state park for the halloween weekend. All the campsites were decorated for halloween and then all the kids went trick-or-treating. Tyler was a vampire!!!

Pigeon Roost Farm

2007-10-25T18:41:00.000-07:00

This is the coolest place for kids to go in the fall. There are so many things to do, but I'm not too sure how much Tyler liked feeding the goats!!! He was kinda scared.....

Apple Pickin'

2007-10-25T18:37:00.000-07:00

Going to pick apples at Lynd's fruit farm was fun, but the best part was tasting all the apples!!! Yummy!!

A little too big!

2007-10-24T15:00:00.000-07:00

Ok, so after seeing this we finally realized it's time for a big boy bed!!! Our little boy is growing up so fast....

Say cheese!!

2007-10-24T14:57:00.000-07:00

Man this kid really knows how to ham it up for the camera!!! I just love his smile!

Cowboy!!

2007-10-24T14:55:00.001-07:00

Now all I need is my little pink pony and I'm all set!!!

Movie Star

2007-08-24T17:40:00.000-07:00

Here is a glimpse of a movie star in the making!!

Mommy and me

2007-08-24T17:38:00.000-07:00

What can I say, I love giving kisses, especially to my mommy!!

Dressing up

2007-08-24T17:35:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I really liked wearing mommy's hot pink shirt around my neck. I think it's a good color for me! What do you think???

Buckeye Lake

2007-08-24T17:29:00.000-07:00

I took my 1st boat ride with my friends Megan and Nathan, and of course their mommy Kitty and daddy Greg. It was fun, but I enjoyed the grilled cheese at Papa Boos much better!!!

It's a Boy!!!

2007-07-16T11:19:00.001-07:00

Just wanted to let ya'll know I am going to have a little brother to torment!!! Mom and Dad found out today!!! Yay, I can't wait!!!

Sleepy Time!!!

2007-07-16T11:16:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite ways to sleep. Notice how my feet are crossed??? I'm such a cute little bugger!

Water baby!!!

2007-07-16T11:10:00.000-07:00

What can I say, I have turned into a waterbug!!! I love getting in the water every chance I get, including the pet's water bowls, which doesn't make mom too happy!!!

Here.... fishy, fishy,fishy

2007-07-16T11:04:00.000-07:00

I loved looking at all the cool fish with Sophie at the zoo.

Help!!

2007-07-16T11:02:00.000-07:00

Will somebody PLEASE get this thing off of me!!!!!

Oooh, I'm gonna get him!!

2007-07-16T11:00:00.000-07:00

I am making my move to get Chewy, he just doesn't know it yet!!!

This is the life!!!

2007-05-27T18:31:00.000-07:00

A comfy place to rest my head, with my best friend Ducky, and my Uncle Jeff pulling me around!!!! What more could a guy ask for??? Aaahhhh, this is the life!!

Mmmmmm, cookies!!!!

2007-05-27T18:27:00.001-07:00

As you can tell, Tyler really enjoyed his chocolate chip cookies!!! He got them everywhere!!!

Bon Fire at Sophie's

2007-04-01T09:43:00.000-07:00

Show me the camera!!

2007-03-26T12:44:00.000-07:00

Talk about cheesing for the camera!! Every time I get the camera out now, Tyler closes his eyes and smiles as big as he can! I honestly have NO clue how he learned to do this, but man is it cute!!

Gettin ready for summer!

2007-03-26T12:40:00.000-07:00

How do ya'll like my new shades??? Actually they are mommy's and I wasn't too happy when she finally took them away :(

mmm, mmm, good!!

2007-03-26T12:34:00.000-07:00

I just can't get enough of these chicken nuggets! I even like my green beans!

Hangin with the boys....

2007-02-04T18:59:00.000-08:00

Daddy and Uncle Jeff took me up with them to order some yummy McDonalds chicken nuggets. Yumm-o!!!

Another view!

2007-02-04T18:57:00.000-08:00

Here's another view of my new hairdo!!!

My 1st Haircut!!

2007-02-04T18:49:00.000-08:00

Grandpa Jordan gave me my 1st haircut tonight, since he gave my daddy and my uncle Jeff their 1st hair cuts too!! At first I didn't like it, but then it wasn't so bad. I just didn't like everyone trying to hold my head still!! But now I have a cool buzz/spikey cut just like my daddy!!! I'm such a handsome stud!!

Bustin a Sag!

2007-02-04T18:46:00.000-08:00

Ok, so maybe I can't keep my pants up that well!!

Brush, Brush, Brush!!!

2007-02-04T18:43:00.000-08:00

Gotta start maintaining those pearly whites!! I love the toothpaste, even though I'm not supposed to eat it, I still try!!!

It's SNOW TIME!!!

2007-01-21T12:37:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it's my first big snow!!! Not too sure what to do with it yet, but I still give it a thumbs up!!

Get the toy Tyler!!

2007-01-20T08:23:00.000-08:00

Jason laughed his butt off when he saw this! So what I make him chase after his toys!!! Talk about cheap entertainment! Sorry, I know the video doesn't show up, but if you click on the X in the upper corner, it will take you to the video!!!

Baby Got Back!!!

2007-01-20T07:55:00.000-08:00

You've been mooned!!!

Uh-oh

2007-01-20T07:53:00.000-08:00

Where did my toy go???

Ridiculous hair!

2007-01-09T15:28:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I have some crazy Alfalfa (sp?? hey, I'm a baby!) hair. Actually, I think I got some of my mom's curls/waves. I think it is getting time for my 1st haircut!

I've had it!!

2007-01-09T15:27:00.000-08:00

I've had it up to here with all these pictures!!!

See food anyone?????

2007-01-09T15:24:00.000-08:00

Yay for grilled cheese!!!! I love it!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

2007-01-05T16:42:00.000-08:00

I have one word for ya! Yumm-o!! I had a blast smashing into my birthday cake. I didn't know what to do at first, but it didn't take long till I had it figured out! This will probably be the only time Mom will EVER let me get this messy!

Ho,ho,ho Merry Christmas

2007-01-05T16:35:00.000-08:00

My very 1st christmas was sooo fun and the wrapping paper tasted soooo good, I just couldn't stop putting it in my mouth!!! I got lots of fun toys from everyone, and tons of cute clothes too!! I didn't really understand the whole opening gifts thing, but next year will be different!!!!

My new riding toy!!

2007-01-05T16:30:00.000-08:00

Thanks Ms. Cris!! I love my new riding/push toy! I am really learning how to walk now!

Woof, Woof

2007-01-05T16:26:00.000-08:00

Mommy calls me her little doggy when I carry things around in my mouth. Hey, a boy's gotta do what a boys gotta do to get around!!!

Growing up.....

2006-12-05T10:40:00.000-08:00

It is so fascinating to watch my baby grow up, but also makes me kinda sad, b/c my baby IS growing up sooo fast. He is learning how to feed himself with a spoon now, and that is just another way of him starting to become independent. I was thrilled that he caught on so fast to feeding himself, and even though it will take much more time before he has it down pat, the realization is finally setting in that he will be 1 yr old in 1 month. My, where has the time gone????

"Get the Kitty!"

2006-12-05T10:27:00.000-08:00

All we have to do is say "get the kitty" to Tyler, and boy is he all over his best friend Logan. Actually, she is the only one who will put up with him bodyslamming on top of her while she is in the crib. He loves to grab big handfulls of kitty and try to eat her!!! It's quite amazing really to see how she reacts to him, because if anyone other than me or Tyler touches her on the rear/tail, she will nail them with her claws. But boy does she love her baby!!

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

2006-12-05T10:20:00.000-08:00

My 1st Thanksgiving!!!!! I was sleeping at Uncle Jeffs when my dad's side of the family were eating, but then it was off to Great-Grandma and Grandpa Hoffmans (mom's side) to chow down. Great Grandpa wasn't there b/c he was in the hospital, which made everyone sad, but on a lighter note, I really chowed down on some mashed taters, sweet taters, turkey, and stuffing. I am loving this feeding myself idea. It may be messy, but boy is it fun!!!

Railway Incline

2006-12-05T10:07:00.000-08:00

This freaked us out the most because we went so high up and it was a very steep incline. It's like being on a rollercoaster, just not fast like one. But the views from it were amazing too!!!

Ruby Falls

2006-12-05T09:57:00.000-08:00

Ruby Falls is an underground waterfall, and you have to walk through the underground caves to get to it. I think it is like over 1000 foot underground! Awesome formations are all around, and the waterfall is amazing.

Rock City

2006-12-05T09:44:00.000-08:00

Rock City is basically a beautiful park that has waterfalls, cliffs, and breathtaking views. Home to Lover's Leap and Fat Mans Squeeze, just to name a few. Very cool place!

Road Trip!!

2006-12-05T09:26:00.000-08:00

Jason and I took a road trip to visit one of our closest friends, Doug. He lives in Tennesee so it was kind of a long drive, but so worth it. Tyler stayed at home with Jason's parents, but he will get to go next time. We got to see Ruby Falls which is an underground waterfall, Rock City, where you can see 7 states at one time and is a park similar to Old Mans Cave, and the Incline trolley, which takes you up the mountain and then back down. That was very very scary!!!! The trip was wonderfull, and we are looking forward to going back!!!!

Check out the Bunnies

2006-12-05T09:15:00.000-08:00

After trick or treating, me, Jason, Amy and Aaron went to Gatsbys in Gahanna to have some adult fun at their costume party. Amy and I went as bunnies, but the boys were bumps on a log and didn't dress up.

Trick or Treat

2006-12-05T08:57:00.000-08:00

We went trick or treating with Sophie and her parents Amy and Aaron in Amy's mom Cris's neighborhood, who is also my babysitter. I was Tigger and Sophie was the HoneyPot.

Playing in the leaves

2006-12-05T08:36:00.000-08:00

Daddy didn't want mommy to put me in the pile of leaves for fear of getting bugs on me, but mommy snuck anyway while daddy was cutting the grass! She's so sneaky!!!

Swing time!

2006-10-02T08:27:00.000-07:00

At least I'm not trying to eat my swing this time!

Swing time!!!

2006-09-27T14:29:00.000-07:00

I love my new swing! I must say it tastes pretty good too!

A pair of Studmuffins!!!

2006-09-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

Mom, what did you give me???

2006-09-27T13:20:00.000-07:00

We decided to try some bell peppers, and he actually liked them! But it didn't last long, after he discovered how to bite down and pull to get a piece to break off!

Yummy.....

2006-09-27T13:11:00.000-07:00

Mmmmmm....... sweet potato puffs

Say Cheese!!

2006-09-27T12:50:00.000-07:00

I like to smile really big, if you couldn't tell! I am such a ham!

I'm Bringin' Sexy Back!!!

2006-09-27T12:44:00.000-07:00

'Nuff said!!

I love my Uncle Doug and Uncle Jeff!!!

2006-09-27T12:36:00.000-07:00

Here I am with my Uncle Doug. Boy he sure is tall! My Uncle Jeff is the blonde one, if you couldn't see the resemblance between him and my dad!

We have some catchin' up to do!!!

2006-09-27T12:27:00.000-07:00

Sorry we have been gone so long. We finally got phone, cable and internet at our new house after 3 stinking weeks of going without!! Phew, I felt like I was going throught withdrawl!!!! But it's all good!!! Here are some new pics of Tyler, sorry if it seems like I posted a ton of pics, but you know, we have a lot of catching up to do!!!

Best Friends

2006-09-17T05:50:00.000-07:00

FEED ME

2006-09-15T07:56:00.000-07:00

Tell Mimi to put the camera down and feed me....I'm wasting away to nothing....

Hangin' out with my..........

2006-08-02T17:24:00.000-07:00

Mouth open! Geesh, do you really think my mom would post a naked pic of me???? (for those who don't know, there is a saying that goes "Hanging out with my wang out", Amy you know what I am talking about!!!) Hehehehe Ok, so seriously, I sleep like my mom with my mouth open. I just love cuddling with her.

CRAZY!!!!!!!

2006-08-02T17:20:00.000-07:00

Words just can't describe........

Pretty bubbles.....

2006-08-02T17:13:00.000-07:00

Ooohhhhh, pretty bubbles! They don't taste too good though. I must say, I am really loving bath time now, especially kicking and splashing all over mom!!!

Roarrrr..........

2006-08-02T17:09:00.000-07:00

Noooo, the tiger doesn't have bad breath, that was me farting!!!! Hehehehehe!!!

How did it get there????

2006-08-02T17:03:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I got a little wore out eating tonight, and when I get sleepy I rub my eyes..... What can I say, I'm a messy eater.

Mr. Pimp Daddy!!!

2006-08-02T16:53:00.000-07:00

I know ya'll be sweatin' my bling bling, and before my mom knows it I'll be sporting a hairy chest to go along with my open shirt and sweet necklace!!!!!

Hangin' with the boys.....

2006-07-30T06:39:00.000-07:00

We went to Uncle Joe's (mom's brother) to see his new house last night. Mom's cousin Tom and his girlfriend Jennifer and their little boy Tyler was there too!!! Hey, we have the same name! Joe has the orange shirt and Tom has the gray. We had a lot of fun!
