Christmas part 2







 It’s a tradition on my (your mom’s) side of the family that we celebrate Christmas on an alternate date which was Friday the 29th this year. We also do a whole family gift exchange to make gift giving a bit easier. 

We made the trip to your grandmas house in Beeville early in the morning and you made me so proud because you slept the whole way.

You loved seeing all of your favorite people but we can be pretty loud when we’re all together and you were a little overwhelmed by everything. 

You got to meet your cousins Sydney and Cameron for the first time and your Uncle Aaron was one of the only people you wanted to hold you. He taught me how to snuggle when I was a baby just like I cuddle you now so it makes sense that you liked him. You also got to meet your Auntie Bo (Vero) and Uncle Eric who you also really enjoyed.

Your Aunt Adela had you for the gift exchange and made you a blanket (pictures attached) that you instantly fell in love with. She also got you a book because you love reading. You got your Auntie Jess pajamas and some digital art that she can use for her crafts.

When there were less people around, you hung out with everyone while we played games and had a great time.

We went home pretty late and once again you slept the whole way (except for one small stop to change a poppy diaper in the back seat).

You are such a delight to be around and I’m glad you got to experience a full family gathering, even if it was a lot.

Merry Christmas (part 2) sweet boy, we love you so much.

Fall Fun

We’ve been keeping busy this month! We watched your Uncle Kyle coach your two cousins in soccer, and got to spend some time with Uncle Kris before his move to Minnesota. We spend an afternoon at the Uhland Fall Festival where you played in a hammock, hung out with some cute animals in the petting zoo, and played in a giant corn pit! We drove to San Antonio and participated in a candlelight vigil organized by The Esparanza Center in support of Palestine, and you met one of my oldest friends, Alvaro! You sometimes stand on your own now, and are more curious than ever! You are growing your canine teeth, which is great news, because you LOVE eating steak! Tomorrow you are going to get your very first haircut ever! You are the best thing that has ever happened to our family, and we love you so much! -Your Dad, Kerry

Brooklyn Walks

  You are really growing into such an amazing person, Brooklyn! You are very confident with walking now. You especially love walking into your daycare classroom by yourself so your friends can see how grown up you are. At home one of your favorite things to do is to stand by our record player and dance while listening to records. Music brings me joy as well. I’m so happy to share that with you! Before the pandemic, I modified a portable turntable into a pretty awesome scratch instrument, and recently I showed you how it works. Now you point to it everyday and ask to scratch records. I hope you have that hobby for a long time, so that I can share that with you also! You’re such a joyous human being. You find the humor in everything, and literally wake up laughing most mornings. You definitely take after your mother in this way. You are both lightning rods for happiness. I sometimes feel like I am too repetitive with what I write here, but, one day you will hopefully read this and wh...

Snow Day!

You got to experience snow for the first time on January 21, 2025! You had the 20th off of school for MLK day and then they announced you would also have the 21st off due to the inclement weather. I took time off of work and we got to hang out. We were both not feeling great, with some flu like symptoms so I knew we couldn’t go out for too long but I didn’t want that snow to melt before you could check it out.  First of all, you hated bundling up. You didn’t understand why I was putting ANOTHER outfit on top of another on top of another. You were getting tired of all these clothes and then shoes to top it all off?? We almost had to abort mission just because of that. I just didn’t want you to get cold! You loved the crunchy feeling of the snow under your shoes and walked all around the front and back yards. You played with some snow that was on the chair but really once your hands got cold, you were done pretty quickly. We came inside, took all your extra layers off and watched a m...
