You Are Our World.












Every day has been a new adventure. 

You are so close to walking on your own! You love standing up and moving around. 

You clap and wave and blow raspberries and love high fives.

You like listening to music, and reading with mommy, and  napping in my arms.

You have a voracious appetite and love trying new foods.

Everyone loves the time they get up to spend with you.

Especially your mom and me.

We are trying so hard to not mess this up — I want you to have the best life possible, the life you deserve to have.

I want to be present in your life. I want that to be how you remember me when I’m gone, as the dad that was always there when you needed him.

Sometimes I feel like I miss the mark, but I will always try my best to be the husband and father my family deserves.

No matter where this life takes you, please always remember that your very existence fundamentally changed our entire lives for the better. 

You’ve given me purpose, and I’m so very grateful for you.

Please always try to remain this curious and humorous and adventurous. It’s amazing to watch you interact with the world.

You are destined for amazing things. 

You are our amazing destiny.

We love you so much!

-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!
