Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

I have been a good boy this year and have learned so much. I've made mama and dada proud. I would like some new toys this Christmas. Here is a list of things I want:
- Gigantic Keyboard Playmat - Bruin (pic)
- Crayola Beginnings - Color Me a Song (pic)
- Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Phone (pic) or Vtech Dial & Discover Phone (pic)
- Little Tikes - Fold Up & Go Train Set (pic)
- Crayola washable crayons (pic)
- I also like Board Books and other learning toys
- Need new clothes - size 24months (2-years)

I hope you'll enjoy the milk and cookies.

Love,
Brandon

Brandon gets his own Room

I finally decided that it's time to start prepping space for Brandon's new room. It was a busy and tiring weekend. His room is just beside the playroom, so it would be perfect and convenient.

We started moving furniture from the computer room into our bedroom and moving the crib from our bedroom to the computer room (which is now Brandon's room). We also put in a single bed beside the crib so then I can co-sleep in the same room when he needs me. Later on, that single bed will be for him when he gets older.

Here are some BEFORE pics.

Yes, Brandon gets his own computer. It's old, but it works.

New Tricycle for Brandon

It has been a week since Brandon and I had been battling a cold. We're both still recovering. It's funny how all 3 of us (me, Brandon, and grandma) got sick at the same time. Brandon is doing better since his coughing has stopped. The only medication he took was .75mL of cough syrup (as instructed by our doctor). I try to keep him as comfortable as he can get. The worst thing ever was that he would not go to bed for the past 2 nights and it makes me feel horrible when I'm also feeling sick at the same time.

What I really want to share is this new toy I got for Brandon. It's called the Fisher Price Rock, Roll & Ride Trike. What I like about it is that it's got 3 settings: rocking, transforms into a tricycle when he can reach the pedal, and ride it while I push him. He loves it! He was having so much fun. I do hear a lot of reviews from other parents saying that they have difficulty controlling the direction and having to assist their child in steering. Brandon is still too small to pedal on his own, but I will see how it will work for him when he is bigger/older.

Brandon's First Steps

I've finally uploaded a video of our little Brandon taking his first steps. He is 13-months old and just learning to walk on his own. Lots of improvement within only a few days.

Happy Halloween

This Halloween is Brandon's first time trick-or-treating at the Mall. He's dressed as a cute pumpkin. He wasn't able to walk on his own yet, so daddy helped him walk around. We went to Aberdeen Centre mall in Richmond for lunch and then did some trick-or-treating at the shops. Lots of candy for Brandon. Of course, he's not allowed to eat candy but he had fun going around and getting goodies.


Yay, some candy!


Wow, so much candy!


Look mom, more candy!
