Brooklyn baby! I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. This new job of mine ended up being a lot harder than I thought but it gets easier/better each day. You don’t quite understand why I can’t play with you sometimes even though I’m right there in the other room and that breaks my heart. We’ll figure all of this out though. You have gotten in such great adventures over the past few months. I’ll post some of my favorite pictures further down. You’re starting to say more words and just like talking in general. On multiple occasions, you’ve said a word so clearly but when your dad or I try to show the other, you won’t say it again. Your dad says you replied “I don’t know” when he asked what you wanted to watch on TV and you and I said apple back and forth to each other a few times while snacking on some slices. You also sign a lot of words that your teachers have taught you at school, some of the more recent ones being down, please, and thank you.  You LOVE music. We can tell it’s som...

  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...

  You’re such a cute Mickey Mouse! For Halloween, you were Mickey, your mom was Minnie, and I was Walt Disney. You had a great time Trick or Treating in our neighborhood! You also got to wear your costume to school, which was an added plus. This Saturday, we went to Muertos Fest in San Antonio, and you were able to listen to music, and see a bunch of neat art and cars. You’re growing more teeth, and it’s causing you some pain, but you had a great weekend besides that. You have such a great laugh and are so much fun to be around! I learned not to give you lollipops in your crib the hard way! Happy Halloween, baby boy! -Your Dad, Kerry

 So many adventures, so little time. Your dad and I have been trying to get out more and give you as many cool experiences as we can.
