New Year, New Routines

Happy New Year, Brooklyn!

Unfortunately, I had to work overnight on NYE, but you and your mom came and visited me so that we could ring in the new year together — it was awesome!

On Monday, we hung out together at the park, and then grilled and lit sparklers.

Tuesday, you started daycare! We were so nervous! Your mom and I cried, but you were so brave!

Today your mom went back to work, and I started my new morning routine of getting you ready and taking you to daycare.

We both really miss you, and are so proud of how great you are adjusting to so many changes.

It seems like you are VERY close to saying your first word. It’s so exciting.

I love you!

-Your Dad, Kerry

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!
