Family Picnic Day

Our annual social picnic was yesterday.  It was sort of a coming out party for Bradley as well for it was his first chance to meet lots of friends and extended family.  As usual everyone that got to meet him, fell in love with him.  He was so good!.  Totally a social butterfly he is.

At the end of the day we were able to gather our family for one big family photo op!

Mr. Bradley the Exerciser!

Three weeks ago, we decided to let Bradley try out his Jumperoo that Sandy and Tohean bought the little guy.  When we first put him in, his feet barely touched the ground at the lowest level.  We had to put a pillow below him so that his feet had something to touch.  Fast forward to present day, not only is the pillow gone, but as you can see, he's loves getting his jumperoo on!

Four Month Update

Mr. Bradley is now four months old. Here are some exciting facts about out big guy!

1. He weighs 16 pounds and is 24.5 inches long. So in other words 75% in weight and 25% in height. What can we say he is like a mini sumo wrestler.
2. Even though it may not seem like it, Mr. B is very active and loves to jump in his jumparoo. He starts jumping then starts giggling.
3. Mr. B still loves being held and entertained by everyone. He will definitely win in a staring contest. He has mom's thinking look.
4. Mr. B now sleeps in his big boy crib. Below is a pic of how he sleeps all night.
5. He is the sweetest boy ever, loved by all!

Benaraw Road Trip Extravaganza 2012!

One day, I decided to re-enact the road trip that my parents once took us when we were little kids ... up the California Coast and explore some of the treasures that the Golden State has to offer.  So finally we threw the baby, my parents, and lots of clothes into the van, and we were on our way!  Clicky!

Happy 4 Months!

Another month.  A month that has gone too fast once again.  Our little spud is on the fast track to getting up and moving out to college.  But in the meantime, here is his monthly birthday shoot for you viewing pleasure. Clicky!

Baek - Il

Our boy is growing so fast!  June 24th marked Bradley's 100 day birthday.  A landmark celebrated in Korean culture called Baek-Il.  We had a small family gathering at the usual spot.  Good times ensued and good food was eaten. Link!

One More June Post

Now that things are starting to settle on my paternity leave I'm finally getting around to doing some of the side chores I've been meaning to do fro months now.  One of which is archiving and organizing the thousands of photos I have in my hard drives.  Thought it'd be best to start with most recent events starting with my brother and sister-in-law's wedding.  Link!

June comes to an end

June is over and Bradley has some exciting milestones:
1. B celebrated his 100 day birthday. The 100th day is very special in Korean tradition. Koreans celebrate it because in olden times babies didn't live that long, so if your baby lived that long it is a great milestone. We celebrated with a small family dinner at Pine Hill. Bradley is do loved by his family. Here is the pic we put on the cake.



2. Bradley has started using the jumparoo. It is a little early, but B is very strong and holds up his little head very well. It is pretty amazing to see him play.
3. Mommy is back to work now, so daddy is taking care of B while he is on paternity leave. They do tons of exercises and play all day. They got a lot of bonding time.
