Brandon Cheung and the Great Pumpkin

Ok so Brandon was not out waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear, but we did take him to a local pumpkin patch so that he could enjoy the festivities. I think he was a little apprehensive at first because of the random scarecrows, bats, etc that were around. Once he focused his attention on the pumpkins, he began enjoying himself more.

Put him in a bucket of pumpkins as well, but he was NOT happy with that at all and we had to pull him out pretty quickly.

Family Vacation in Monterey

We had a great time sharing Monterey with Brandon the end of last week.

Went to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner.

Brandon also loved going to the aquarium and looking at the fish, penguins, & sea otters.

The 17 Mile Drive was exhausting just because we had to take Brandon in and out and around each area. He loved seeing everything though.

So glad that we have this wonderful baby to share Monterey with now :)

Congrats to Bogi and Sharon!

Bogi and Sharon got married this past weekend in Fresno. Yay!

We had a grand time and Brandon was very happy to enjoy the outdoor festivities at Engelmann Cellars. Brandon even enjoyed gnawing on some wine glasses (no he did not consume any alcohol) The whole family was exhausted when we got back from our Monterey/Fresno trip though.

Happy Six Month Birthday!!

Brandon turns six months yesterday and we had lots of fun celebrating with him. We bought a banana creme pie and put a lit candle on it and everything. Of course, Brandon being a baby that loves to touch and grab things, just had to get his hands on the pie.

*Brandon's Well Baby Info from 10-10-2008:

Baby Tooth?!?!?

Brandon was lying next to Ray last night and just hanging out.  Brandon grabbed Ray's finger and started gnawing on it like he does every now and then with our fingers.  Ray felt something sharp like a tooth and I immediate came over and gave Brandon my finger.  We could both feel a little lower middle tooth, but couldn't see it yet (especially since Brandon keeps sticking his tongue out when we are trying to look in his mouth).  Very exciting.  :)  Once we see the tooth, we will definitely take a photo and post it for all of you to see.
