My Monkey Boy!

 









Watching you grow has been one of the greatest privileges and joys of my entire life.

You make so much noise now! You are so close to talking! You love screaming at the top of your lungs in a super high pitch when you first wake up. 

You’re adapting to daycare well, and like your teachers and classmates. You get excited when I drop you off there.

So still love being read to, but now you pretend to read along with us.

You love watching cartoons. Ducktails is one of your favorites. We watched Space Jam together and Sylvester made you laugh.

You like petting your cats —and occasionally pulling out their whiskers—, but the dog is still too big and kind of freaks you out.

We went clothes shopping and I bought you a stuffed monkey, and you love it so much. It’s your first favorite stuffed animal. 

You’re eating all kinds of new foods now; sweet potatoes have been your favorite so far, but we are just getting into trying fruit baby foods, so I’m sure you’ll be a fan of a bunch of that.

It seems like you are starting to teeth, which makes you grumpy sometimes.

Every day it seems like you are getting bigger and smarter and funnier, and it’s wonderful to be a part of.

I’m so proud of you, and love you so much!

-Your Dad, Kerry

Drummer Boy

  You love music! You listen to records and dance, play drums, and scratch on a little portable turntable. You’re amazing! It so much fun watching you develop and grow. You are talking so much now! My favorite is when you say “wow”, it’s so cute! Recently, you went to your first Fiesta event, an Indian Festival at Hemisfair, and have hung out with your cousins in Austin. So much fun! You love playing outside, bouncing balls, going on walks, and playing in the mud. Spider-Man is your all time favorite, you call him dadoowah. We are so fortunate to have you as a son! 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 ...
