Today mommy felt Brandon's lower gums and felt sharp tops of teeth!
Brandon has been eating twice a day, cereal (either Oatmeal, Rice or Barley) with fruit (so far Bananas and Apples) in the
morning and Vegetables at night (so far Peas, Carrots, and Sweet Potatoes). After his dinner he usually gets a bath
with mommy and she breastfeeds him before he sleeps. Brandon has been cruising which is walking while holding onto something
but if he sees something he wants across the room he'll crawl intently towards it. Alice and Ghost run away when they
see him coming! Brandon goes to sleep around 10pm and likes to wake up after sleeping 8 hours to be fed again.
If he wakes up before then, we try to get him to go back to sleep but he won't sleep much past the 8 hours. Brandon
loves to explore the office and get into the recycle bin and shelves. Bob had to put things onto higher shelves and
pack any lower shelves so tightly that Brandon can't pull anything out.
10/31/03
Halloween! Bob was Pooh and Brandon was Tigger. We went to Bergen County to see Grandma, and
other family. We even stopped by Eddie Murphy's house in Englewood but alas he didn't answer the gate. He had
someone else drive to hand out the candy!

This has been a big week of firsts!
On the 4th, mommy saw Brandon stand up on his own without any help from leaning or pushing on anything except his legs!
On the 8th, Brandon clapped his hands on his own repeatedly. On the 9th, he pushed his toy walker and walked behind it and
on the 10th he climbed the stairs with some coaxing from mommy with daddy behind to catch him in case he fell! Brandon
loves eating Cheerios now and will drink water from a sippy cup!
Brandon likes to sleep with his butt in the air! |
