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.

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...
