A lot of them are terrible but he is getting better every day. Here are some (the thumbnails cut off heads but the full photos actually have them):

We woke up super early and got there at 7:30am and left around 10:30pm. Super exhausting but all worth it.

It was Lucas’s first time there and he LOVED the cars and rides. I wish it wasn’t so expensive because I would definitely go with them more.

So sorry. Lots catch up on and I will have to so a mega summer post for Lucas.

Wanted to share some photos and thoughts about a past SD trip we took. Ray had gone down for a conference at the beginning of the week and we drove down to meet him Thursday.

Lucas usually doesn’t ride in the car that long and ended up crying for almost half the trip. Poor Brandon had to sit and listen to him. He was happy when we stopped and had a snack but started crying again the moment we got back on the freeway.

Our first night there we went to a big party for the conference. I think Lucas really liked our accommodations.

Then we woke up and went to the Safari Park. I don’t think Lucas was as impressed as
Brandon, but he still enjoyed his family day out :)

Was there ever! We were blessed and there was fresh powder all over the place so the boys and I got to enjoy some fun. It was Lucas’s first snow and I think he really enjoyed being out there and taking everything in.

Lucas even got to do some belly time in the snow disc we got…not sure he liked it though

More photos at brandoncheung.com soon!

Can you guess which one is the sleepyhead & which one is ready to go in the morning? :)

Lucas is a fairly good morning person and is usually pretty happy. He loves going on his changing table and getting ready. Now if he will just be less cranky at night ….

Lucas is getting bigger and bigger and can now enjoy more of the toys that Brandon used to.  This is the bouncer he has at each house that Brandon barely used  to play with.  I think Lucas will enjoy it more than big brother :)

Brandon didn’t want to go with us because he didn’t want to be there when little brother got his “pokes.” Poor Lucas got three shots today and obviously was sad. He cried all the way back to the car but then fell asleep.

Here are his stats:
Height 2’0.25″
Weight 14lbs

Here are Brandon’s 4 month well baby stats in case you want to compare:
Height 2’1.25″
Weight 15 lbs, 1.8 oz

Awww our little dai dai is growing up :)

*I never posted Lucas’s stats from his 2 month well baby. His weight was 11lbs, 2oz & height was 1’10.75″ . Brandon’s 2 month stats were weight was 11lbs, 5.8oz & height 1’11.25″ . They were almost the same at 2 months. We will see if they grow further apart at 6 months or if Lucas catches back up.

Enjoy!
