Happy Birthday Brooklyn baby!! You’re one now and I have no idea how that’s possible when we literally JUST left the hospital with you.  You are such a delight to be around. You understand instructions and listen to them only when you want to.  You are SO funny; you’re always cracking me and your dad up with your little mannerisms.

You have 8 front teeth, one molar and are working on growing more but it’s hard for me to see them because you love to bite!

  You turned one! We surprised you with balloons and pancakes on the morning of your birthday and then went on a trip to Rivercenter Mall in San Antonio to get your birthday Build-a-bear and lunch at Rainforest Cafe.

You got so many presents, but I think what you liked the most was just spending time with your big family and all your friends! It’s been amazing watching you grow and learn. Your mom and I have loved every second we’ve had the privilege of being your parents! I am beyond proud of you! Here’s to an awesome second year! -Your Dad, Kerry
