Andrew's Toronto pics

Here are some pics from Andrew. Thanks Andrew!

Some Holiday Pics

Here are some pics of Brandon at home before our trip. He got a new car to ride :)
I will post Toronto pics soon.

Mmmm Goldfish

Brandon didn't want to take a nap this past weekend when we wanted him to.

The result?

He was eating goldfish, spilled some, then proceeded to fall asleep on the floor next to them. (Goldfish on his face added later by Uncle Andrew)

Ahoy Me Mateys

Brandon dressed up for the first time this Halloween. I was surprised he wasn't more fidgety in it,but maybe he liked being a pirate :)

Here are some photos at home and trick-or-treating (yes he was overwhelmed by the goobs of people at the mall):

Brandon's 2nd Annual Trip to Monterey

So to say that I have been consumed with the Dodgers would be an understatement. Now that we have won the NL West and have a couple of days off, I thought it would be nice if I updated with another post.

We went to Monterey a couple of weekends ago and Brandon had a blast. It was nice for him this year because I think he could take in more of what he was seeing and enjoy it rather than just stare. He loved the otters (who doesn't), the ocean, and the fish.

Here are some photos from last year and this year for comparison (& yes, Ray just happens to be wearing the same shirt). Enjoy!!!!

Fuzzy Green Brandon

Yay Brandon is on Peter's site now :)

Sleeping Brandon - A Retrospective

Fuzzy Green Monster

We tried to get Brandon to pose in some Fuzzy Green Monster clothing (www.fuzzygreenmonster.com) this past weekend with some limited success. He didn't want to take photos cause he wanted to go on the playground and throw little wood chips everywhere. Luckily Peter thought we got some good shots between the two cameras we had.

Here is Brandon's photo on the product site of one of Peter's vendors (http://harmonyart.com/products/index.html) :

Little DH Helper

This post got really delayed because Blogger wouldn't post my photos for some reason. I tried for weeks to load them.

So before Brandon got all sick that one week, he came over to Desperate Housewives to help us out a little.

"David Grossman's office, this is Brandon"




"Uh huh, uh huh... ok David, I will take care of it for you"



"Mom, its for you."



"How do I transfer?"

Oh the Dodgers.....

We love taking Brandon to Dodger games and watching him react with everyone else in the stands. He loves being outside and watching all the people. It is hilarious when he claps when the opposing team does something good or when one of the Dodgers gets out.

Are we setting him up though by making him a fan of a team that frustrates and disappoints? Perhaps, but in order to feel the euphoria that comes when the Dodgers are on fire, we have to live through the tough times. Talk about bleeding blue....

It looks like the Dodgers are day-today right now, but as Vin says, aren't we all?

Here are some photo highlights from the last two games we went to with Brandon.

Dodgers vs. Astros 7.19.2009 (yes it was REALLY hot & thank you Benedict for the first group photo)







Dodgers vs. Marlins 7.24.2009
