Your First Birthday!!

 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 sign and speak more words now and actually use them to communicate effectively with us.

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!

We started adding whole milk into your formula to hopefully get you fully transitioned from bottles soon.

For your birthday, we took you to the San Antonio Riverwalk - one of your Dada’s favorite places. You did amazing at Build A Bear getting your first birthday bear. Then we walked over to Rainforest Cafe for lunch. You weren’t too sure about the animatronics, but that’s ok, they’re a little creepy. 

On the weekend after your birthday, you had a huge book themed birthday party with your family and friends. People came from all over just to see you. We had the party at Fischer Park in New Braunfels because you love to go there and they have a great splash pad. You were so excited to see everyone and ate some delicious food (including apple slices which we previously thought were too crunchy for you but your Grammie said it was ok.) You weren’t too excited about your smash cake and getting frosting all over yourself; I’m not sure you even took a bite of your cake, which is funny because you sure do know how to make a mess when you’re eating at home.

You’re learning and growing each day. When we took you to the doctor for your 1 year appointment, they let us know that you’re still in the 99th percentile for your height. At 1 year old, you’re already half my size!

We love you more than anything sweet boy. 

Your Mama

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 ...
