Father’s Day Weekend

Thank you so much for letting me be your dad! I’m so proud to have you as a son!

When I came home from work on Friday, you were sitting up on the floor with your back to me — something new you can do all by yourself—, and when you heard my voice, you scooted all the way around to look at me! Later that evening, I grabbed some animal crackers to share with you and sat on the floor with you. You made an expression that made me feel like the luckiest person alive; you were so excited that I came down to play with you! We shared animal crackers and hung out, and it was the best!

Your school says you grabbed a balance bar they have mounted on the wall and picked yourself up to a standing position. That’s a huge milestone!

On Saturday, you joined me for my morning commute to George West, Texas. We ate breakfast at the hotel, and met up with your Grandma, Opa, and your Aunt Adela, and they took you on shopping adventures and to hang out at their house. You had so much fun!

This morning, Father’s Day, you and mom made me breakfast in bed, and got me some amazing presents. I’m so thankful for both of you!

You’re currently napping beside me and it’s the best feeling ever: knowing that you are happy to be around me. I adore you!

Thank you for allowing me to be your dad!

I love you always!

-Your Dad, Kerry

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...
