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.

Happy New Year

  Brooklyn, I’m sorry I haven’t updated this more often. Life sure is hectic nowadays. You’re growing so fast! You can form sentences and we can communicate better with each day.  Every single day you do something that completely blows me away. You are so smart, talented, brave, funny, and kind. I like that we are developing hobbies together. It’s so fun to watch you get excited over basketball, or Spider-Man, or music, or monster trucks, or trains. We grew broccoli sprouts together last month. You ate the first batch in one sitting.  You have a little green wagon and I love going on walks with you. Although you are a really high-energy kid, you are happy to just be calm and present on a walk. It’s really an inspiring example. You honestly teach me so many things. You remind me that I need to drink more water, especially when I’m not feeling well. You remind me to always say bye to the people I care about, even when I’m in a rush. You remind me that sprouts are yummy. You...

23 Months

 We’re about a week away from you being 23 months old and you just continue to grow and amaze us every day. Your favorite things: Music! You still love playing drums/ any percussion instruments but you recently got a ukulele that is the perfect size for you. You and your dad also love playing the harmonica together and it’s pretty amazing to watch.  You love listening to music and singing as well. Your favorite songs to sing are Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baby Shark, ABCs, and honorable mention for Blur - Song 2.  You love the outdoors, specifically trees, the moon, and the rain.  Your other special interests right now are trains, fireworks, and monster trucks. You very frequently ask for us to play videos of these things for you. We’re hoping to take you on a train ride for your birthday and your Opa has your ear plugs ready for the next Monster Truck Jam we can get to. We think it’s so funny that you love to watch fireworks because we took you ...

6 months!

  Sweet, brave, awesome Brooklyn! You’re 6 months old now and such a delight to be around. Like dad said, you have such a sense of humor and are always smiling and laughing (when you’re not tired or teething.) I’m trying my best to keep making milk for you but you also like purees and formula. You’ve had some solid food like the banana pictured above and have also done great with that. You celebrated your first Pi Day this year! Your family fed you lots of different pies and then you crashed out on your grandpa’s bed. Your new teeth are too cute, I’m just sorry they hurt so much when they come out.  Your teachers at school love you and always say nice things about you. I’m glad you're well taken care of when dad and I have to go to work. We’re so so proud to be parents to such a cool guy, and we’re excited to keep watching you grow. Next we’ll get some Easter pictures posted on here!
