00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:23,370
Now 41 41 days old 41 so a month she is a month old

24
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:28,810
I've already failed to do some of the things that have been recommended that you should do

25
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:31,010
Every month we'll talk about

26
00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:38,730
Later on but already feeling like a failure already feeling like I'm missing out and but it was yeah, I mean, it's crazy 41 days

27
00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:41,310
It just keeps it's just fly.

28
00:02:41,470 --> 00:02:43,230
It seems like it just goes faster and faster.

29
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:43,750
Yeah faster.

30
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:44,310
It does.

31
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:56,350
Yeah So, yeah, that's where we are It's funny that we always mention that like when we were before the baby came we were talking about how time's gonna fly by you Know, yeah, and before you even have the baby like, okay.

32
00:02:56,390 --> 00:03:06,190
Yeah Say it and but now it's gonna you know, it's gonna slow down I'm gonna feel every moment and you do you feel every moment.

33
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:23,200
Yep but at the same time how something can feel so slow and fast at the same time is is Is this particular scenario of having a child that's all feels it feels like everything's flying by but when you're in it You're like, oh my god, this will never end.

34
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:23,660
Yeah.

35
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,300
Yeah, the weirdest feeling I haven't had you haven't had knock on wood Wherever it is.

36
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,140
I haven't a lot of I haven't had a lot of that.

37
00:03:31,220 --> 00:03:49,880
It's been mostly I Mean, I feel and we'll talk a little bit more about it as we go through I feel like it does it goes by like every day because you're so busy It goes by in the blink of an eye right there and then there are those moments that seem like they're gonna last Forever, but really she's been such a good baby.

38
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Yeah.

39
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,460
Yeah, you're lucky.

40
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:53,520
I mean you haven't I haven't heard complaining.

41
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,080
No

42
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,300
no, I mean like

43
00:03:55,940 --> 00:03:57,840
if the only thing is

44
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:02,660
Either she's gassy or she's hungry and there's a solution for both of those

45
00:04:02,660 --> 00:04:08,860
Yeah, and Kelly's got that one figured out and the other one I'm getting pretty good at the gas because I'm

46
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,060
Cuz I have so much here this well when I feel this way

47
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,760
I roll around and pretend I'm skiing and now I do that her

48
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Do you think it goes fast in the beginning or always because especially in the beginning because we're waiting for that next

49
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,000
Thing that we're like check off list like is the baby doing this?

50
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Yes Now the next thing I have to we have to do this and then by the time you figure it out Oh my god, we're at the one-year birthday.

51
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:43,060
Yeah, because we're always waiting for that next there is development or whatever it is I think there is that stuff, but honestly, I'm already Getting to the point.

52
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:50,020
I had a couple things happen in the last couple weeks where I'm already at the point of I don't like No, let's just Stay right here.

53
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,420
Let's just oh, right.

54
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,300
Like I'm already like like shut it down slow it down Yeah, I would rat like I am like, no, this is good.

55
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,600
Let's some examples you can talk about.

56
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:05,180
Oh, yeah, we'll go We'll get into it excited because it's like yeah, you really like it's so much.

00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:08,280
It's so Much fun.

58
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:27,240
It's so wonderful the whole experience that yeah, and I'm like, wait a minute like In a month a month has gone by and 41 days, yeah 41 days, but it's been yeah, it's been great But yeah, I am I'm already at the point where I'm like, okay, take it easy.

59
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,460
Slow down Is it what you thought you were going to feel like being a father?

60
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,300
Do you have that how do you like like I've been a father for so long now, it's just part of me.

61
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,660
I'm I'm sure dad of two boys.

62
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,980
Yeah at this point.

63
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:54,600
I feel like it's almost like a honeymoon phase like I feel like it's all Better than I expected it and a lot better Better than I expected and easier than I expected.

64
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:58,360
I thought it was gonna I really was very concerned now

65
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Things are changing and I'm not all of a sudden and there are times that just last week that you just kind of you know

66
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,500
You get tired and hit a wall right, but no, I mean honestly for me

67
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:16,060
Yeah, it's way better than I thought and much easier much easier than I thought and and that's why I want to slow

68
00:06:17,140 --> 00:06:21,340
I'm not wishing anything to go like let's just get through.

69
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:27,140
No, right Yesterday for a week, let's do that.

70
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:33,360
Okay and again, and again Unfortunately or for everybody doesn't have the same experience.

71
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:38,180
No, right So that's why we you know, we talk about this stuff and somebody might be listening going.

72
00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:39,220
Are you crazy?

73
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,200
I couldn't sleep for six years.

74
00:06:41,460 --> 00:06:44,180
We see this all this stuff, but you know, it's funny.

75
00:06:44,280 --> 00:07:02,860
My sister came over and You know, we'll just take walks up and down the driveway and the stroller with the baby She came over to join us for one and she was talking about she had been listening to I don't remember the guy's name but some podcast or talking about developmental stuff with kids and how The there's a direct correlation.

76
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:34,060
They've done these studies between how happy or Unhappy the mother is through pregnancy has a direct correlation to how Easy or difficult a baby is right like a mom that was depressed or unhappy or in a rough situation The baby has a way higher chances of being colicky and have being down all those things so we and and we have the Opposite of that because I make my wife so happy you do.

77
00:07:34,080 --> 00:08:03,380
That's what She does call me and go I'm so happy I'm just someone But no, no, we are but we are we're really lucky right because yeah What it was it was a good experience generally, I mean we had our challenges, but Kelly was a trooper Yeah, and and and now we have this kid who's mostly Great all the time and that and that's great Being your age Right, so we're not 22 years old.

78
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,100
Not 25 where we can go.

79
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:05,580
You know what?

80
00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:07,100
Let me get through this I'm young enough.

81
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,540
Let me you know, and this is a perfect right now.

82
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:20,060
Yep thing Like you said things can change kids change and situation change, but right now and how it's you know, tracing down You know how it's how it's looking like.

83
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:24,840
Yeah It's good for the age that we are to deal with this.

84
00:08:24,940 --> 00:08:25,040
Yeah.

85
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:40,700
Well, I can tell you right now Knowing first of all, it's not just the age thing that I because I see that I think about it It's not just the age difference, but it was a different time Yeah, and we were when we were that age when you did it when I do it, right?

86
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,940
There was no eight weeks of paternity leave.

87
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,040
There was none of that stuff.

88
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:48,920
We didn't have any of those those opportunities I can tell you right now.

89
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:56,900
I would not as If I could turn back the clock and do it at that age in the situation.

90
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:59,880
I'm in right now Yeah, two things up.

91
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,400
I'll do that but to do it then I

92
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:06,740
Don't know how I don't know how I would there's no way

93
00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:11,140
There's no way I would have been able to do what I am doing with the baby and

94
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:13,920
Everything I read and learn and see with her

95
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,480
This time is so

96
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:23,480
Crucial that I would I would be ridden with guilt if I was back then

97
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,300
Yeah, well, I was working 50 60 hours a week every week

98
00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:34,940
nights every weekend all that stuff there be you know, it would be a completely different experience as a

99
00:09:34,940 --> 00:09:37,940
Completely different experience as a father.

100
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,920
Yeah, and I would be heartbroken most of the time.

101
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,220
Yeah

102
00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:45,720
Even going back 18 years ago with my my second

103
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,940
I remember I was working in a bank and we went into labor and I remember

104
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:56,200
Something happened where they were expecting me to go to work, but she went through labor

105
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,940
right and I called but I I left a message with a

106
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:07,400
Manager that was not the manager, but the like working manager at the time like the mo

107
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,840
Yeah manager on duty right at the moment at the moment, but it was in the morning and I remember and again

00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,880
This is going back 18 years.

109
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:21,620
So sure the story might be a little bit off, but I remember them Talking to me afterwards that I did the wrong thing.

110
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:32,460
I should he told him other manager and not her because She's not real and I'm sitting there going I don't care who I told come on.

111
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,300
She's part of the management group.

112
00:10:34,580 --> 00:10:45,300
That's where the answer machine went to yeah, and that was literally the day when I said I will be finding a new job and I Yeah, and that's when I went to another bank, but it's going back.

113
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,680
That's only 18 years ago, and they were still giving me.

114
00:10:47,860 --> 00:11:00,000
Yeah Some mess about yeah not going to work when my wife was in labor and I left a message at the wrong table You know I just saw a video on X.

119
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:56,220
There's only four of us working There's only four of us working and there's so many customers and I just and our managers don't care about it He's crying and I'm thinking we What we got what we had to do you're like in the night in 90s in the 90s for those of you who are not Aware retail was the sweatshop of the 90s.

120
00:11:56,340 --> 00:12:03,460
Yeah, we we worked like dogs Like literally my first job in in retail at silo.

121
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,040
It was six days a week Basically 10 or 12 hours a day shifts.

122
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,140
We come here around.

123
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:19,440
Yep I have one day off a week all the time and you were on draw versus Commission So you got one and a half times the minimum wage?

124
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,500
Guaranteed and if you made less than that in Commission, you had to pay it back.

125
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Hey you owe them people money it was it was and I remember and then if you took a check from somebody and the check bounced they It took it out of your pay.

126
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:36,500
That's right.

127
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,100
It was

128
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:43,720
Nuts, but yeah, so I think about that and I see there was there was one particular mall that we worked

129
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,280
We used to call it the rock because you would work by yourself this person was crying about four people

130
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,580
Yeah, we're working by yourself from morning to night

131
00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:58,440
And the crazy thing was because it was in a mall the front door was wide open

132
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,820
Yeah, you couldn't leave it because there was equipment everywhere

133
00:13:01,820 --> 00:13:07,640
Let's be so somebody could just walk in there and steal so you couldn't get off the rock and you were up there all

134
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,980
Day your whole show.

135
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:20,540
I mean you you were worried you would literally have to make deals to go to the bathroom Yeah, so somebody could come up there from like as we call white goods where they sold, you know, the dishwasher I don't remember crying.

136
00:13:20,620 --> 00:13:21,520
No, we didn't cry.

137
00:13:21,580 --> 00:13:22,460
We didn't cry.

138
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:48,660
We just put on music and Things have changed But for to imagine back that like trying to do this, yeah Working like that not it I wouldn't I wouldn't trade where we're at right now for That's what we were mentioning before you're at a perfect a couple of different things that aged financials Relationship mental.

So you have good neighbors.

175
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:21,100
I love my love my next-door neighbor bill He is the best one of those guys that you you know, what do you mean if you're not a handyman?

176
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:22,740
Yeah, you need a neighbor.

177
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,200
That's a handyman or woman.

178
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,160
Yeah, and that's what he is Yeah, and he's helped me with so much stuff.

179
00:16:29,260 --> 00:16:39,540
That's not that's um, and then I've helped him obviously with you know We go back and forth and without him It's it's always great to have a neighbor that you know, you can trust he watches the house.

180
00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:41,460
He feeds the animal.

181
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,680
That's So yeah, so we have a great relationship.

182
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,560
See I'm handy, but I like having Chris because he has heavy equipment Like that's very nice.

183
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:57,780
I'm like gee I have this This log that needs to be moved and Chris comes over with some contraption the same way.

184
00:16:57,860 --> 00:17:01,320
He's like the guy who saw that tree down Yes, I love you.

185
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:01,940
It's fantastic.

186
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:12,240
So yeah, so very important to have good neighbors And we're both sounds like we're both lucky there And then this is one of the things I talked about briefly earlier that I've already failed as a father.

187
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:20,760
Yeah, Christine recommended Christina's always she's like Like number one fan always commenting and watching.

188
00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:41,320
It's not awesome But she commented take them take a pic Every month of the baby like with a plushie or something the same thing every time to see her And we went right by the month and nothing and it's funny because I've talked about Kelly's cousin and her baby Armand who's just a few weeks older, right?

189
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:48,420
All right She's showing me pictures and they're doing like they've got a mat and they put them on there and it's so they are doing what?

190
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:57,600
And they're doing that and it says one month two months and I'm like, oh So I gotta get I got out my game Of course Kelly's like we could just fake it and take one now and say one month.

191
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:04,040
I'm like, okay We can do that catch up, you know Yeah, in many years when you look back at you won't even remember if it was fake or not.

192
00:18:04,220 --> 00:18:04,800
Yeah, that's right.

193
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,880
You did it That's right.

194
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,320
What a great dad I was.

195
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,480
I'm glad I thought of that.

196
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:22,140
But yeah, so so Thank you to Christine for the idea and we will we are good we will start with month two and Probably not I think we have in mind.

197
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:29,660
Well there you know what there's a little bunny One of the things I don't know if we did we talk about The photo shoot.

198
00:18:29,780 --> 00:18:31,280
Yes that we got the pictures.

199
00:18:31,540 --> 00:18:33,000
I don't think you talked about.

200
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:48,380
Yeah, you did it did not have the pitch So right like ten days in we did the photo shoot yep, this photographer and I will make a point of next time getting his name and Talking about him because he we got the pictures must have been since we recorded.

201
00:18:48,580 --> 00:19:07,740
Sure Did an incredible job and and one of the things he did was she has a little bunny Little soft plushy bunny and he was just he was so good because he like he would set her up And then he took a little arm and he tucked the tuck the bunny in and Held it there.

202
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:14,280
So and and just held it there gently until she relaxed and then he got like he's incredible Yeah, they're amazing.

203
00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:27,000
Even the fact that he got a he got more than one picture of Kelly me the baby and both dogs and it's they're great picture the one photo you sent me of Watson.

204
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:41,160
Oh Yeah, oh my god it is I mean I've always been in I've always been into photography so good this is Like a photographer's dream But you you have to be like it's interesting.

205
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:48,820
I'm learning that Right now her vision is mostly About contrast right bright bright and dark.

206
00:19:48,860 --> 00:20:05,020
So she zeros in on what on Watson because he's black and white Yeah, but the other thing that happens is if I'm trying to take a picture and I see oh, there's the smile As soon as I take the big black phone and she's mostly looking up at the white ceiling It's like oh, what's that?

207
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,520
And the face goes away

208
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,940
So I've got a kind of like be very cagey about figuring out how to do it

209
00:20:10,940 --> 00:20:15,240
So the bun that bunny might be what we use because okay because she was only 10 days old

210
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,220
Gotcha when he did that and then we'll continue

211
00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:24,560
So you did it that with he did it and now I will now I'll do it right we'll do it and then we'll do it

212
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:31,520
So, yeah, that'll that'll be a fun thing to do as we go forward so that was that is our silver Fox mailbox

213
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,520
Please continue send in ideas thoughts

214
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,360
Recommendations, there's been all kinds of good stuff.

215
00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:41,220
Yeah, so I'm coming having fun with that and This is one.

216
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:42,420
We have not done in a while.

217
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,340
What's this now?

218
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:49,620
I feel like I as I often do talk with Kelly and I'm like, so what have I been wrong about?

219
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:13,380
And she and this one even she says this you were joking But you were definitely your joke was definitely wrong and I was joking the last time so now we can't even joke wrong but well She made a point that is a good thing to talk about because you asked how long were you supposed to swaddle when we?

220
00:21:15,820 --> 00:21:19,320
And obviously it's But it is important.

221
00:21:19,460 --> 00:21:39,520
The swaddling is supposed to be Roughly the first three months and you're supposed to stop swaddling Once they can Houdini their way out of it, which she does occasionally But most importantly once they are rolling once they can roll if they're swaddled and they roll and then they can't roll back That's not good.

222
00:21:39,580 --> 00:22:09,680
So so it's supposed to be about three months, but that is that the benchmark for For Stopping with the swaddling is once they start rolling on their own while they're swaddling or escaping from the swaddle Like it's because it's like a little straight jacket So I was wrong But only a little I have you seen any of those Not the rolling but She trying to get up Yeah, a lot of times it depends.

223
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,740
I'm pretty good a lot of times getting it tight in them Yeah, I get it.

224
00:22:13,860 --> 00:22:15,280
I get it and I tuck it in nicely.

225
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:32,160
I make I make a good change Whatever I got to do now in the morning though, usually You know Kelly's going through and she's getting up in the middle night and doing feedings and stuff And now this is another thing.

226
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,220
We're very lucky right now.

227
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,340
She's been getting up to like three four hour

228
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:37,960
Stints at night, so she's sleeping

229
00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:44,860
Seven hours out of out of eight or nine, okay, so that's pretty good at her age

230
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:52,200
But then, you know Kelly in the morning I wake up I start waking up around, you know, five five thirty six o'clock

231
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:58,380
Okay, and a lot of times at that point she will have been two hours asleep, but she's vocalizing

232
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:00,240
They make a lot of noise while they're sleeping

233
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:06,840
So I will usually be the one who checks her out and I'll change her and then she'll be ready for the next round of

234
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:13,480
And when I check Kelly, I don't think does is snug enough on the left her she's always

235
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,300
She's she's always got one arm out.

236
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:37,980
She's waving like she's riding a Like a rodeo she's got that waving around So so she's just trying to go over do a full ride So so she's usually getting them getting them out there But not when I get it, you know, I get a nice and snot All right, and I am getting better at it.

237
00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:40,320
Yeah, there's there's there's a knack to it.

238
00:23:40,340 --> 00:23:43,140
I don't do a good I don't do a good job.

239
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:54,960
I don't focus on the legs I'm just get get her like the the top part and then I just kind of Getting a little update on the Diaper situation.

240
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,660
I know we had some blowouts and yes, and you were shown.

241
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:20,220
Yes a better way We're good now in fact now we're at the point now where she is because we've been in the end diapers the zeros, okay, and She's right at the point now because she has grown so much that we might be transitioning to the next size Gotcha, because now it's like now because she's long.

242
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:40,980
They're starting to look like low-rise They're little So but no, we haven't had any blowouts any of that stuff, but it was fun right before right before you got here Uh-huh Kelly's gonna she's like I'm gonna change her and then we're gonna we're gonna feed and she changes her and I was so I'm there and she's Happy all the time.

243
00:24:41,080 --> 00:25:07,920
So she's smiling and she just literally stick stick and she kind of he is Closing up the little decadent thing And you see a little baby Josie in here He just completely fills the diaper immediately It is loud, but yeah, and she Dad's Kelly without a mother's like well, we're gonna leave that one for a little while Oh, you're gonna get mad if I don't feed you.

244
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:17,740
That's what it's always it's all it always seems Let me get back into this yeah I'm too comfortable.

245
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,200
You're too comfortable.

246
00:25:19,420 --> 00:25:30,820
Yeah, you know, you don't get a break So, so yeah, that was kind of forgot about those days honestly, it's because it happens Yeah, I mean everybody I can imagine just when you get done.

247
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:33,360
You got everything going and then boom You're right back.

248
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:40,920
I don't mind that one But what was killing me is when it was like through like just just before I even get it Yeah, another one and another one.

249
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,360
Yes, but now she She's having she's having fun with it.

250
00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:47,820
At least you figured out how to keep it contained.

251
00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:48,380
Yes.

252
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,240
Yeah, it's all good now Yeah, just it's just stupid.

253
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,060
This is gonna sound really stupid, but the stripe I didn't know

254
00:25:56,060 --> 00:25:59,260
Yeah, so now we see that but there's also

255
00:26:00,020 --> 00:26:06,680
two little yellow Lake landing strips where the tabs are supposed to go I

256
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,960
Were weeks in before I made that connection and again and again, it's been so long for me

257
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,160
Yeah, you just reminded me of that and I knew that yeah, but I probably was the same way

258
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,040
I didn't know that until oh, I'm not thinking about 200th time going.

259
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:21,960
Yeah, what am I doing?

260
00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:23,700
We're all follow the directions.

261
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:34,200
Yeah, you know, it's like a lot of this stuff it reminds me of when I first started playing guitar and I am and you discover like for me.

262
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,240
It was like an E chord.

263
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:53,600
You think you invented it Either you're like wow, that sounds like I can do this Like you think And then you're like no, that's the most fundamental like that's it's that kind of stuff it's like I figured out this out I gotta tell everyone Everybody's like really?

264
00:26:53,940 --> 00:26:54,260
Okay.

265
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,920
So a lot of it.

266
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,580
That's funny.

267
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,800
A lot of it is like that.

268
00:26:58,060 --> 00:27:01,420
So So that was I was wrong.

269
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,400
And now we're going to move into Crash test daddy.

270

00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:50,840
Stroller in particular is you can one-handed set it up and break it down.

281
00:27:50,940 --> 00:27:59,120

We'll see There you go That clips together No That's that actually is just a tensioner for the straps.

292
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:56,540
So there's a little little clippy in this in the crotch Like between her legs and then those straps plug in You Don't need to do that.

00:30:56,740 --> 00:31:09,680
I think you did very well Baby sir, that's it You got a little sunshade and you're ready to roll what's nice about the stroller what I like about it is First of all lots of storage underneath.

00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:34,420
So that is the Green green light red light green light and then when you want to close it up once you take that off So there's a button on the top.

298
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:51,240

Hold on.

301
00:31:52,420 --> 00:32:20,500
Sorry I tricked you fold the little fold the little arms down and Now one-handed you could do it No either way That's it And it's all clipped ready to go will fit in an overhead compartment It's fantastic And So and I was able to get so we have to two bases for it.

302
00:32:20,580 --> 00:32:21,980
So now there's one in my truck

303
00:32:21,980 --> 00:32:23,680
There's one in Kelly's car

304
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,540
So we go with that and then this goes in the trunk and you're ready to go for take a walk

305
00:32:27,540 --> 00:32:32,280
So that is our crash test daddy the up a baby Mesa v2

306
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:38,400
infant car seat and up a baby minu v2 travel stroller both are

307
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,200
329 99 each

308
00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:42,800
So not

309
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:51,780
It's not bad 329 329 each and then the brackets so that you can use this with that are 29 bucks

310
00:32:51,780 --> 00:32:54,940
You can also do they make a bassinet

311
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:58,280
That you can use with this for a little baby, too

312
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,600
so you can have the bassinet works with a stroller the car seat works with the stroller or

313
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,720
either way

314
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,540
I

315
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:09,160
Sound good to me.

316
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,960
Okay.

317
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:11,980
That's our crash test daddy.

318
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:20,220
And now we're gonna move into what just happened so Lots of lots of little things.

319
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:35,300
It's it's interesting because all you know as time goes on and I'm talking with Kelly and and and I think last time and Certainly the time before like the episode before we talked about the whole birth All that stuff.

320
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:46,680
It's it's been it was just like timeline stuff and now it's much more about like About what it's like right like right now.

321
00:33:46,780 --> 00:33:49,460
There are certain things that were that we're learning and figuring out.

322
00:33:49,580 --> 00:34:13,960
Yeah, but the Being able to share what the experience is like is pretty cool But there were just some basic, you know things were we are learning the one thing that I discovered somehow online Was the CDC has Milestones app so there's an app on the phone now the app that Kelly uses Religiously is huckleberry.

323
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:14,699
Yeah, that's one.

324
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,679
You've been that's awesome.

325
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,820
So she tracks

326
00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:24,120
All the poopy diapers and poopy or wet and all that stuff what she's feeding which breast how long all that stuff

327
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:30,440
so it tracks everything which is great because we use that when we go to the doctors, but this milestones app is just you put

328
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:30,820
in the

329
00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:34,780
The baby's birth date and it basically

330
00:34:34,780 --> 00:34:44,020
Gives you all the milestones that your child should be doing have a visual tracking and how holding her head up and this and that

331
00:34:44,020 --> 00:34:51,080
So immediately I'm like, okay, let's go through and she's hit she's hit every milestone up to

332
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,800
there's

333
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:58,440
Even she's almost at the she's done some of all but one of I think the two months

334
00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:00,340
Yeah, so she's

335
00:35:00,860 --> 00:35:02,380
over already overachiever

336
00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:05,780
I'm doing doing well, but it's fun.

337
00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:18,000
And then you just go in there like, okay, and everyone's Yeah, you always like there was a lot of that in the beginning I'm looking at her and she's always looking like this I'm like, is there something wrong?

338
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:30,760
What she does but yeah, so it has all those little things you can check on and I've been using that that's been that's been cool and Technology.

339
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:38,240
Oh, just a data like yeah going back 18 24 years ago We I mean, I'm sure you have to call your dad.

340
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:38,800
Is it?

341
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:39,180
Okay?

342
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:42,560
Well, my baby does this and yeah, let me get back to you on that.

343
00:35:42,660 --> 00:35:45,720
The doctor's busy Yeah, now you can just go right to the app and go.

344
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:52,580
Oh, yeah, there's so much of that stuff Yeah, the resources that are available are it's like I'm sure there's also people that get scared.

345
00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:56,180
My baby's not doing that Everybody has their own time.

346
00:35:56,740 --> 00:35:57,080
Well, it's right.

347
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:08,420
It's what I think it's funny because you have like you have we're in the middle of Kelly's friend in Texas, right, right who has fortune.

348
00:36:08,660 --> 00:36:16,360
This is her fourth Okay, and just born within a week of of baby Josie and then her cousin in Michigan, right?

349
00:36:16,620 --> 00:36:41,860
who's a baby arm on them almost a few weeks older and you have so so she hears from She hears from friend in Texas, right talking about what's going and she's asking question Like, you know, she she's just talking about how things are going and asking her You know asking Kelly and talking about stuff and then you hear when she talks to her cousin It's more like so have you done this yet?

350
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,660
Have you done that yet and much more?

351
00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:54,820
Comparing notes and trying to level set like how are you guys how we're doing how the babies are doing and all that stuff But yeah, yeah having all the all the these new resources that that are out there.

352
00:36:54,940 --> 00:37:03,480
It's got to make a big difference but so we had we had the the app and then we had finally our Follow-up.

353
00:37:03,540 --> 00:37:06,240
It felt like it was a long time between visits

354
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:11,180
But we went back to summer with pediatrics and we had our checkup

355
00:37:11,180 --> 00:37:15,320
So the first thing was the kind of the over-under on how heavy

356
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:21,820
We thought she was because the last time again, which was born she was six pounds to six six one

357
00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:27,960
I think six pounds one ounce then she went down and then the last time we were there

358
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,540
She was at six pounds three and a half ounces six pounds three and a half

359
00:37:32,540 --> 00:37:35,360
I remember we were talking she was over her birth weight.

360
00:37:35,540 --> 00:37:42,160
Yes, so she was back up over her birth weight and doing a while but so I'm It's a noticeable difference, right?

361
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,620
So I'm thinking I was my guess was nine pounds.

362
00:37:45,660 --> 00:37:47,240
I thought she was at nine pounds really

363
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:51,060
Yep, and because it had been three or you know, that's three weeks

364
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,920
And she was and when she started gaining it was she was really going

365
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,280
And the and the feeding has gone really well all that stuff and she had gone through these

366
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,420
Stints of the cluster feeding which usually means a growth spurt

367
00:38:05,420 --> 00:38:10,640
Yeah, so like there was just one yesterday and then like you can see it.

368
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,080
It's crazy But so she was you want to do one guess?

369
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:23,180
Yes, your thing was nine You thought I said I thought it was gonna but she was gonna be right around nine pounds in the last time It was six three six pounds three and a half ounces.

370
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:35,260
So when you said nine, I felt oh my god Now that you're talking about I'm gonna say I'm gonna say nine pounds four ounces That I bet by now.

371
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:35,700
Yes.

372
00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:43,700
Oh, but no, she was eight pounds 14 ounces So just two ounces away Yeah, that's in there.

373
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:58,340
That's a poop so Yes, that's right another feeding so yeah, and that's actually completely true because it's about two ounces each time she started pumping now so Six pounds.

374
00:38:58,500 --> 00:38:58,900
Yeah, or so.

375
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:15,900
Yeah from six Yeah, no, no, I get yeah, I bet you she's she cuz it's amazing how quickly she just seems to grow and grow and grow But yeah, so we had that so we had the visit the doctor was very pleased Went, you know went over everything.

376
00:39:16,060 --> 00:39:31,020
She's given us all kinds of praise, which I'm sure they say to everybody No, you guys are you guys got like a flowchart going in in a pie chart You can tell sometimes there were certain things where she's like, oh like she's getting very, you know clear answers like oh How's it gonna like?

377
00:39:31,140 --> 00:39:34,340
Well this this this and this we will like so we are on point

378
00:39:34,340 --> 00:39:37,040
I remember we were like we gave a baby hot dog

379
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,920
No stop

380
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:44,260
Yeah, is it too is it too soon for red pepper

381
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:46,220
No

382
00:39:46,660 --> 00:39:54,820
It was they're they're really nice there and then it was cute because of course the one thing that did not go up clearly

383
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,020
Baby, Josie is not a fan of the rectal thermometer

384
00:39:58,020 --> 00:40:04,260
That was always the the whole triage went very badly once that once that happened

385
00:40:04,260 --> 00:40:10,080
But they got her, you know did the weighing measuring all that stuff and it was good and yeah

386
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,420
So now it's I think it's another several weeks.

387
00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:19,160
So the next one till the next one I think we might have an appointment with the lactation consultant between now and then 13 pounds.

388
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,480
I don't know.

389
00:40:20,580 --> 00:40:26,460
It's It's moving fast So we'll see but they they're very happy.

390
00:40:26,540 --> 00:40:43,460
She went to like well, she was 10th percentile When she was born for weight and now she's 35th percentile Wow, so she's definitely making up and in fact, I think I'm not positive but talking about Kelly's cousin.

391
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:49,700
I think I Think she may have leapfrogged him really, right?

392
00:40:49,940 --> 00:40:59,380
They've had a much like to talking about how lucky we are They have had a much more difficult time with with breastfeeding like we said everybody's Everybody's story is different.

393
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:05,700
She read like she had they were at the point where they don't know because when breastfeeding You don't know if they're what's happening.

394
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,640
They were they had in the beginning.

395
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:13,360
They had to weigh the baby Before and after feeding to see if anything.

396
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:17,960
Yes, like they were having Yeah, so it's a weird.

397
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:32,820
I mean, it's it's obviously a lot of work and it's very draining For Kelly, but it's gone really well and the evidence is is there we were talking about last last episode about the Disappearing baby.

398
00:41:33,060 --> 00:41:38,720
Oh, yeah how that is so true Day-in day-out and I know you're gonna talk a little bit about it.

399
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:53,560
Yeah, but it's so true when you mentioned that You I wanted to talk, you know, I want to say something like oh my god They change every day, but it's like that disappearing baby just sticks out with me like what you just saw The next day is like, oh, wait a minute.

400
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:59,360
I got a new baby when we saw the pictures from the photo shoot I I couldn't believe it.

401
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:06,740
Yeah, because you know, it's continually changing and you notice things But then when I saw I'm like, wow, she was so small.

402
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,640
Did you imagine three months from now?

403
00:42:09,140 --> 00:42:15,540
I Mean not that you want to jump that far but in your mind going that's gonna be you're gonna have a whole totally different No idea experience.

404
00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:16,140
Yeah

405
00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:22,500
Already already is just what she can do and how engaged she is and stuff that that's yeah

406
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:26,040
It's it's a completely it's amazing how quickly everything changes

407
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:31,020
So so, you know that so that all went that wall went really well with the doctor

408
00:42:31,020 --> 00:42:39,160
Mm-hmm, and then it's a lot of it has been the fun part the the experiences with her you can see now

409
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,360
she is

410
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:46,680
Engaging with certain things and she and she's like she has fun with stuff

411
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:51,060
There's I have a few paintings my my aunt so my dad's

412
00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:53,140
Younger sister was an artist.

413
00:42:53,220 --> 00:43:00,420
Okay, and I have a few a few paintings that she did and This is I think like a pastel that she did that.

414
00:43:00,540 --> 00:43:03,380
My sister was nice enough to give to me She had she had a bunch of her work.

415
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,900
It's just a floral She used to go when she wanted to paint she would go out into her garden.

416
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:29,240
She had a beautiful flower garden She would pick a bouquet of flowers arrange them and then paint so the painting is a Bouquet in a vase and and I also was lucky enough to have the vase So now I have a vase that's in the painting Wow that we we will put flowers in occasionally but so it's right by our kitchen table and She will like zero in on it.

417
00:43:29,340 --> 00:43:34,220
She'll just yep She's very fascinated with that and just different things.

418
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,400
She'll engage with it's fun.

419
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:44,680
It's fun now with the music You know in pretty much every morning Since Kelly has started pumping.

420
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,840
So basically first thing in the morning.

421
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:57,980
She will feed and then Baby comes to me and I try and keep her occupied as long as I can and she pumps And so that's usually dance party time.

422
00:43:58,020 --> 00:44:05,820
So I immediately start with like I already have a growing I think that's like 40 or 43 Songs on the playlist.

425
00:44:15,380 --> 00:44:20,980
It's so much looking at your mouth Oh, she she loves she loves when I whistle.

426
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:25,080
I will often like with the Louie Prima songs There's always a horn solo.

427
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:32,680
So I will whistle the horn solo part and she loves that I used to I used to do this one sound you just remind him right?

428
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:39,160
It was like, I don't know if I can do it It was like Chipmunk in his world.

429
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:50,900
I don't know what and the kid You know, oh my god, I forgot about that until you said that about the whistle But yeah, you have you have these little things that yeah, they just go crazy.

430
00:44:51,040 --> 00:45:29,060
That's the yeah It's the engagement then now it's it's definitely more like I definitely see it There's just the recognition now that just earlier today I brought her over She looks at Kelly and just BAM big smile And it's awesome It's fantastic so we have that stuff and then I just like I was showing it's funny because I'm just Again, I get to be an idiot, right?

431
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,680
So she's she's gassy.

432
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,720

472
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,740
But the the tired thing I get it like I've been trying to

473
00:49:40,740 --> 00:49:43,260
Look, you know, I'm keeping up on

474
00:49:44,420 --> 00:49:52,320
everything so that Kelly can just focus on the focus on the baby because that's enough so then when I'm not

475
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,320
helping with the baby, I'm just trying to get stuff done and

476
00:49:56,580 --> 00:49:58,740
last week the project was

477
00:49:59,580 --> 00:50:02,940
Basically, we wanted to get rid of we had three vehicles

478
00:50:02,940 --> 00:50:08,920
we had a plow vehicle and then Kelly's car a smaller car and then we had an SUV and

479
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,380
We decided we were gonna get Kelly into the SUV.

480
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:18,460
That will be her daily driver get rid of the smaller car and then Instead of having a plow vehicle.

481
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:36,780
I would have a daily driver get a pickup truck so I found a deal on a pickup truck it was in Delaware and so I'm making all the You know making all the arrangements and I had to return and this two vehicles to trade and there was stuff that needed to be done I had a car things like that.

482
00:50:36,980 --> 00:50:39,720
It was just you know, this is what did it for me?

483
00:50:39,780 --> 00:50:57,940
It was funny because I was trying to remember when it was I hit the wall and she's like it was the red light day And what it happens like so I make this deal and for two vehicles I'm trading a Jeep Wrangler and a three-series BMW to the place that you're buying the new one Yes place and it's from Delaware.

484
00:50:58,380 --> 00:50:58,520
Yep.

485
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:03,700
So they're gonna drive the new truck up from Delaware Okay, and then take those away.

486
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:04,680
Okay, drive them back.

487
00:51:04,740 --> 00:51:05,000
Sure.

488
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,820
So the Wrangler has been a perfect vehicle I've never had any problems with it.

489
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:15,100
It still had 29,000 miles as a 2015 Wow Because all I use it for is to plow the drive.

490
00:51:15,260 --> 00:51:31,100
Yeah, I might drive it around with the doors off in the sun so So The but I had a chipped windshield and I have glass cover So I had them I had had a glass doctor come out and it was covered by insurance here They swap out the windshield and then I had to have them take the plow off.

491
00:51:31,300 --> 00:51:37,500
Yep So the morning before they're coming Thursday morning, they're coming to bring the truck.

492
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,640
They've already done the deal They've told me how much I'm getting for the trade.

493
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:49,800
I'm happy and I get in the car to go bring it so they can take the plow off and I turn the car on and there's a red flashing light.

494
00:51:49,900 --> 00:51:53,660
Oh over the temperature gauge I'm what?

495
00:51:56,780 --> 00:52:06,440
Never been a warning light Yeah, this was like flashing red What so I bring it in to them.

496
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:15,960
They take the plow off I'm doing internet searches trying to find out and it was just like I'm thinking to myself these people You know, I just did this deal.

497
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:24,080
I I worked them over to try to get the best deal possible Now they're gonna show up and be like gee, there's a red flashing warning light.

498
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:24,600
Did you?

499
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:34,940
And I'm gonna be like, yeah, so long story short the glass doctor guy screwed up the remote start the remote start caused The flashing light.

500
00:52:35,340 --> 00:52:48,220
Oh, I figured it out, but I couldn't fix it Because literally I get the car back at four o'clock on Thursday They're coming Friday the next day to get it So I was just prepared to explain what exactly and thank goodness.

501
00:52:48,380 --> 00:52:50,100
They didn't even ask Really?

502
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:55,840
They're like the driver when I like the salesman came in very nice kid 20 20 years old

503
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,400
Came in we signed all the paperwork the draw the driver

504
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:04,080
was putting the plates on the temporary plates on the two vehicles they were taking away and

505
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:09,400
They did everything he went over the vehicle with me and they drove away and they never said a word about it

506
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,170
Well, you know right down the road they're like, oh

507
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,520
Yeah, well, it's as soon as you turn the car on flashing red.

508
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:16,780
So they must have seen it.

509
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,700
But yeah, the only question

510
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:21,780
Yes, I got a text message five minutes after they left

511
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:30,540
And it was it was the salesman saying what do you put do you put super in the BMW I'm like sure yeah

512
00:53:31,220 --> 00:53:31,860
That's it

513
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,800
But that day

514
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,680
Because I was just like on point taking care of all this

515
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:46,320
That's a lot of stuff and it was I was stressed out and I just like dinner time

516
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:51,280
I had a wall and I've been getting great rest like to Kelly's credit

517
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,120
She's not making me get up in the middle.

518
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:57,220
Sometimes I will to help but rarely I'm sleeping like I usually do

519
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,000
But that night I just was like I don't feel good and

520
00:54:02,820 --> 00:54:04,580
I have for somebody I don't know if you do this

521
00:54:04,580 --> 00:54:10,480
But if I don't feel well the answer for me most often whatever it is a flu or cold

522
00:54:12,020 --> 00:54:14,600
But it's mostly I

523
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,180
bundle up like

524
00:54:16,180 --> 00:54:21,200
Like shorts sweats over the shorts wool socks hoodie

525
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:22,560

Okay, that's what you're trying to do.

528
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,940
That's usually that would that and that usually works for me

529
00:54:32,940 --> 00:54:36,780
So I'm like as soon as as soon as Kelly sees me doing

530
00:54:38,380 --> 00:54:43,560

So yeah, I'm looking I'm looking forward to that but Today, uh-huh.

597
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:28,380
There were two things and these are the best things because every day there's something but there are two thing The first thing is the arrival of chubby legs What?

598
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,300
She has never had the baby has never had chubby legs.

599
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:35,780
They've always she's because she was little and this morning.

600
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:42,200
I'm like Like they're there they're chubby legs Little chubby legs.

601
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:43,220
I'm like, okay.

602
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:55,680
I think it's from the skiing but there's the chubby legs I was so excited and then to even top that I was already gonna talk about that She likes right before you got here during the changing when she filled the diaper, right?

603
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:18,120
I was the first tickle Where she was actually I've been trying I've been trying all along and I finally got I'm like look And Kelly comes over she's like, yeah, that's a tickle like she was I was playing put this tickling her tummy and she is smiling So yeah first first tickle and chubby legs there the same day.

604
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:23,660
There is nothing better Than a baby Laughing or smiling.

605
01:03:23,660 --> 01:03:25,380
Oh, there is nothing.

606
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:40,560
I mean, I can't wait For this I can't wait for the laugh There's Gurgling sound and one of the things that Kelly pointed out I from the beginning I'm very auditorily focused.

607
01:03:40,560 --> 01:04:00,980
So I am constantly I constantly talk to her saying things making noises But then when she makes noises, I make them back to her I like I parrot her and it's it's a it's good Because they start to understand cause and effect and they understand they start to engage Like it's communication.

608
01:04:01,380 --> 01:04:02,780
So I do that constant.

609
01:04:02,940 --> 01:04:05,620
She's like, you know, that's a good thing I used to have conversations.

610
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:11,160
Yeah with my kids and she knows always like it's so funny how you like talk back to them Yeah in that.

611
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,600
Yep Sounds are making yeah, like it's a normal.

612
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:26,200
Oh, yeah Like it's a normal conversation, yeah, but you just remind me of something I don't know if you ever heard of this in the old school.

613
01:04:26,420 --> 01:04:42,840
Hmm when my parents and my family Mother would never want us to tickle the baby's feet they said I don't know what it was if I made a weaker it made him like I Don't know what it was.

614
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,340
It was like don't do that to the baby.

615
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,100
They're gonna be soft people or I don't know That's interesting.

616
01:04:47,460 --> 01:04:55,600
No, I don't remember that It's it's just something when you said about tickling and I remember we used to like go what are they talking about?

617
01:04:55,980 --> 01:04:58,400
They each used to hate when we tickled the feet

618
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,860
So I might be I was wrong kind of thing

619
01:05:01,860 --> 01:05:06,760
But I'm gonna get back home and tell him the treatment might know better, but it was I believe I believe

620
01:05:08,860 --> 01:05:10,380
It'll make them like mushy mush

621
01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:13,360
That's what no

622
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,760
That's what the lactation consultants tell you to do is tickle their feet to wake them up between

623
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,400
If when you're feeding and they start to get yeah, wake them up that way.

624
01:05:21,420 --> 01:05:37,220
But again, this is old-school Sicilian 1936 Yeah, no, so that way I don't I believe it I'll come back with if I just made that up.

625
01:05:37,220 --> 01:05:42,380
Yeah, or if it was something that no, I bet you didn't I just just sticking with me right now.

626
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:47,500
Yeah, there's I'm sure Oh, yeah Make them soft.

627
01:05:47,640 --> 01:06:01,220
That's hilarious But yeah, so that that's where we are right now So today you this is the special event for today is the chubby legs and the first tickle which is uh, which is fantastic It's lucky you.

628
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,940

651
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,600
Yeah, and I remember having a conversation with him

652
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,899
I was in the lobby of the venue and I was on the phone with him

653
01:08:16,899 --> 01:08:22,319

He's a father

655
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:32,000
And he was kind of talking to me about a difficult time with the kids as everybody has and I remember

656
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,960
saying I know it's hard, but I

657
01:08:37,460 --> 01:08:37,939
Know it's hard

658
01:08:37,939 --> 01:08:43,540
But you're talking to somebody who would who would take ten years off the end of his life to have what you have

659
01:08:43,540 --> 01:08:45,880
To complain what you're just saying, right?

660
01:08:45,899 --> 01:08:57,240
