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 to the Alamo to see 4th of July fireworks in person and that was not an experience any of us really enjoyed. 

Your favorite characters are Spider-Man (Dadua), Mickey Mouse, Bluey, and Cars. 

You still love to eat all foods, there’s not really anything you won’t at least try. I would have said you don’t like spicy food but you got your hands on spicy chips a while back and you wouldn’t stop eating them, even with tears coming down your face.

You’re a tough guy. You love wrestling with your dog, Roca, and getting your wiggles out before bed by jumping on your dad and me. We’ve gotten some reports and had to pick you up from daycare for biting/fighting but in reviewing the footage, you just stand up for yourself and we’ll always support you in that, little one. 

Here’s some picture from the last couple of months that I love-





We are so proud to be your parents, BK. Thank you for all the adventures.

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...

Snow Day!

You got to experience snow for the first time on January 21, 2025! You had the 20th off of school for MLK day and then they announced you would also have the 21st off due to the inclement weather. I took time off of work and we got to hang out. We were both not feeling great, with some flu like symptoms so I knew we couldn’t go out for too long but I didn’t want that snow to melt before you could check it out.  First of all, you hated bundling up. You didn’t understand why I was putting ANOTHER outfit on top of another on top of another. You were getting tired of all these clothes and then shoes to top it all off?? We almost had to abort mission just because of that. I just didn’t want you to get cold! You loved the crunchy feeling of the snow under your shoes and walked all around the front and back yards. You played with some snow that was on the chair but really once your hands got cold, you were done pretty quickly. We came inside, took all your extra layers off and watched a m...
