Training for the Diaper Dash, Baby Led Weaning, & the first "Dada" : Episode 30 Part 2

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,670
So not surprisingly, the biggest fans of baby led weaning so far in this household are the dogs because most of the food, most of the food ends up on the floor.

2
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:12,050
Right.

3
00:00:12,050 --> 00:00:13,330
It's just constantly falling.

4
00:00:13,490 --> 00:00:17,270
And it's proven Rumpel is clearly smarter.

5
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:20,470
Rumpel is very strategic, gets right down there underneath.

6
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:21,830
She's like waiting.

7
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:25,550
She knows what Watson is watching because he has a different perspective.

8
00:00:25,630 --> 00:00:25,810
Right.

9
00:00:25,810 --> 00:00:29,910
So he's up above the table of her, of her high chair.

10
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:31,610
So he's watching what's happening.

11
00:00:32,090 --> 00:00:34,910
Rumpel is smart enough to just be down there waiting for whatever benefits.

12
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:56,290
This is the gray hair and daycare podcast with a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ right in that same range.

13
00:00:56,990 --> 00:01:00,930
Your hosts, Frank Cereo and Carlo Russo.

14
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:04,610
Welcome back to episode 30 part two.

15
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:09,750
We've got a few more stories that we just didn't have time to get to last week.

16
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:13,010
So we're back to finish them up and get you all caught up.

17
00:01:13,370 --> 00:01:16,110
So thank you for coming back and spending the time with us.

18
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:19,250
And here is the rest of episode 30.

19
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:21,390
Okay.

20
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:26,730
We are back with our, something we have not done in a while.

21
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:41,270
And we did a similar thing many, many episodes ago with a different, a different product of a similar stripe and, but we're going to do a new episode of Crash Test Daddy.

22
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:52,170
So Crash Test Daddy today, we at one time did an, a different ergo baby product.

23
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:59,130
And, but this one is called the Ergo Baby Omni Classic Baby Carrier.

24
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:13,350
So what happened was, so we had a baby carrier that Carlo tried out and we did kind of a time lapse video of him getting into it many, many episodes ago.

25
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:21,050
Maybe I'll see if I can find some of that archival footage to put in here, but that one was basically for infants, very small.

26
00:02:21,950 --> 00:02:24,210
So for teeny tiny babies, not for me.

27
00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:31,210
And, but so I wanted us, we're getting to the point where it would really be useful to have one.

28
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:33,390
So I tried that one.

29
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:42,530
Kelly really hasn't used it very much, but she's used it a couple of times, but baby Josie was never really a fan and it was just not big enough now.

30
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:52,670
So I did a bunch of research and this ergo baby, these are really good baby carrier, papooses, whatever you want to call whatever you want to call them.

31
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:56,630
But there's a new model that came out.

32
00:02:56,790 --> 00:03:05,850
So again, my recommendation, this is my hot tip for if you're going to get one of these guys, if you're going to get a baby carrier, this is the model that is outgoing.

33
00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:07,710
This is the old model.

34
00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:10,330
There's a new model that's a lot more expensive.

35
00:03:10,330 --> 00:03:15,790
So the new model is basically just like this, but it's $199.

36
00:03:16,270 --> 00:03:35,210
You can get these for 134 bucks and they are good for children that are from seven pounds to 45 pounds, which I can't imagine carting around a 45 pound child in this, but it is called the ergo baby omni classic baby carrier.

37
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:40,110
It is $134 on Amazon right now is the, that's the best deal.

38
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,670
But I want you to try to see it.

39
00:03:43,810 --> 00:03:45,690
Do you have any idea how you would do it?

40
00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:47,890
I don't even know what I'm looking at.

41
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:52,090
So it's kind of, it is adjustable.

42
00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:52,990
Okay.

43
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:54,130
I have one question.

44
00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:54,710
Okay.

45
00:03:54,870 --> 00:03:58,290
This must be the actual, what you're looking at.

46
00:03:58,310 --> 00:04:05,330
What the baby, is this the front or is this, I mean, obviously the labels are, yes, it's the bad.

47
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:06,630
That would be against you, right?

48
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:08,410
So now you can do this.

49
00:04:08,410 --> 00:04:10,250
This one can do multiple positions.

50
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:14,850
So it can be in front of you, centered baby facing out.

51
00:04:15,329 --> 00:04:15,810
Okay.

52
00:04:15,890 --> 00:04:17,130
Baby facing in.

53
00:04:17,230 --> 00:04:17,670
Okay.

54
00:04:17,850 --> 00:04:23,250
It can be adjusted to your hip and it can also be on your back.

55
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:25,330
So you can, a backpack, like a backpack.

56
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:30,170
But I will say, I don't like that too many things can happen back there.

57
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,570
I don't know if I would like that either.

58
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:32,870
I don't, can't see people.

59
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:35,410
But so I can, I'll show you here.

60
00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:37,170
So hand me that thing.

61
00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:40,950
And essentially what this is, it's very, it's kind of hard to picture without doing it.

62
00:04:41,170 --> 00:04:46,270
So maybe we'll have you when we're done or I'll cut to a scene where you model this for us.

63
00:04:46,470 --> 00:04:51,110
But essentially this is the waist.

64
00:04:51,730 --> 00:04:52,290
Oh, okay.

65
00:04:52,450 --> 00:04:53,230
So this goes around.

66
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:54,650
So it has a little lumbar pad.

67
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:54,870
Okay.

68
00:04:54,930 --> 00:04:56,650
Like the fanny pack that goes in the back.

69
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:57,970
So that's it, right?

70
00:04:58,050 --> 00:05:04,170
So that goes in and then this becomes kind of what they are in.

71
00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:07,010
So the leg, leg.

72
00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:10,830
So they're sitting in this pouch arms up here.

73
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:13,370
So it kind of sits on you that way.

74
00:05:13,470 --> 00:05:13,830
Gotcha.

75
00:05:13,970 --> 00:05:14,550
That makes sense.

76
00:05:14,630 --> 00:05:17,410
And then if you want, you can rotate it one way or the other.

77
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:21,750
And that goes around your, that goes to your shoulders, like a backpack shoulders, except the other way.

78
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:21,910
Right.

79
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:22,870
So instead of right.

80
00:05:22,970 --> 00:05:24,590
So it's going around and then you clip it together.

81
00:05:24,610 --> 00:05:25,570
The baby's going to be here.

82
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:26,950
So the baby's a front.

83
00:05:27,010 --> 00:05:33,810
So I like it because basically when I'm using this and I'm the one who's using it mostly now, she is right here.

84
00:05:33,810 --> 00:05:34,150
Yeah.

85
00:05:34,510 --> 00:05:36,650
So she's right beneath me facing forward.

86
00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:45,050
So every once in a while I say it's funny, I'll say vibe check and we'll go to a mirror and she'll look at, she's all smiley.

87
00:05:45,130 --> 00:05:46,230
She really likes it.

88
00:05:46,450 --> 00:05:50,510
So in the morning when I've been using it in the morning, it's, it's comfortable.

89
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:51,650
She's right there.

90
00:05:51,730 --> 00:05:52,990
So it does get a little warm.

91
00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:54,890
Some of the models used to be cotton.

92
00:05:55,050 --> 00:05:58,810
This is a more breathable fabric, okay, but it's all adjustable.

93
00:05:58,850 --> 00:06:01,610
So for her right now, it's set up for her.

94
00:06:01,730 --> 00:06:02,890
She's about 14 pounds.

95
00:06:02,890 --> 00:06:13,390
Now our typical morning, Kelly turns the baby over to me about seven 30 and she gets ready and she's off to work and Carrie doesn't get here until about nine.

96
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:23,630
So usually I wrap up whatever I'm doing and then I get this thing on, pop her in and then she's with me and we will go, I'll prep her bottles for the day.

97
00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:31,150
I'll just walk around with, she's just with me while I'm getting stuff ready for whatever dinner, whatever we're doing.

98
00:06:31,250 --> 00:06:33,850
If I'm doing laundry, she's there with me and she loves it.

99
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:36,130
She, she, and every once in a while she'll look up at me.

100
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:40,950
The nice thing is if you have like a bowl of cereal or something, you can place it right on their head and just put it right there.

101
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:41,750
Like a little shelf.

102
00:06:41,910 --> 00:06:45,410
It's a, that's so, but our kids are there to help us out.

103
00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:50,050
They are that she is, I think it's really cool and I'll, I'll post the link to it.

104
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:54,970
So, but this, and this is a good, again, the new model, not much better than this.

105
00:06:55,030 --> 00:06:59,390
I think it has a cell phone holder where the baby wants the little pocket.

106
00:06:59,390 --> 00:07:03,770
That's for wipes and little, little snacks and yeah, whatever.

107
00:07:04,910 --> 00:07:06,430
But this one I think is the best.

108
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:08,730
Like again, not as expensive as the new model.

109
00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:09,810
Still available.

110
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:12,050
$134 on Amazon.

111
00:07:12,770 --> 00:07:17,090
The ergo baby Omni classic baby carrier.

112
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:21,030
According to me and AI, this is the one to get.

113
00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:24,050
So that is our crash test.

114
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:25,050
Daddy look good.

115
00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:25,750
Okay.

116
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:27,990
Don't miss any of the fun.

117

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and tech doc.

119
00:07:33,730 --> 00:07:37,210
Now we will move right into what just happened.

120
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,700
So one of the most important, what just happened as we've talked about in the past, teething has been a big thing.

121
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:47,140
Lots of, lots of that stuff.

122
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:51,760
Nothing's breaking through yet, but we did get a recommendation.

123
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:59,560
So my, my brother-in-law's daughter who lives in London, Michal, she has a little boy, cute little guy.

124
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:09,240
And when he was going through teething, she heard that we were having some teething challenges from my sister when they were talking and recommended this stuff.

125
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:19,320
It is called it's camellia oil, camellia oil, and the brand is boron camellia teething drops.

126
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:22,480
They are $10 and 52 cents on Amazon.

127
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160
Now I, we had already tried.

128
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,860
We had the little refrigerated teethers.

129
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,360
We had the baby aura gel.

130
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:32,559
We had scotch.

131
00:08:33,140 --> 00:08:36,320
We had the tile and all when it's really bad.

132
00:08:36,740 --> 00:08:38,059
This stuff really worked well.

133
00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:40,860
It comes in a little like a, like a little tube.

134
00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:46,440
You crack it and you squirt it in there and it really, really worked.

135
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,200
Do you rub it in or just squirt it in there?

136
00:08:49,620 --> 00:08:50,100
That's it.

137
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,100
And it really, it helps.

138
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,620
He was kidding about the scotch.

139
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:54,200
I was.

140
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:58,800
Although my parents did that with me.

141
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,200
I'm like, yeah, I don't know.

142
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,900
That's when I had my first love affair with scotch.

143
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,860
You are scotch.

144
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:04,860
I am scotch.

145
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,020
Okay.

146
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:05,320
No.

147
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:06,560
So that stuff work.

148
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:07,180
This stuff.

149
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:07,480
Yep.

150
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,380
So it's boron camellia oil.

151
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,160
Uh, absolute game changer.

152
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,340
Way better, way better than the original thumbs up on that.

153
00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:16,640
Yes.

154
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,860
Big, big, big thumbs up.

155
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,680
$10 and 52 cents for a box on Amazon.

156
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:22,840
It's a bunch of them in there.

157
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,060
And it's like a single 10.

158
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:27,160
That's nothing for a piece.

159
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:27,940
Yeah.

160
00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:30,600
You'd pay, you'd pay a hundred dollars at a hundred times.

161
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Sometimes it's very low grade.

162
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:41,020
It's not really about, but sometimes it really, you can tell she's hurting and that's, this stuff really has taken the edge off.

163
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:41,700
So cool.

164
00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:42,620
That stuff is great.

165
00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:43,720
So we have that recommendation.

166
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,000
We tried that stuff out.

167
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:53,500
One of the big things that we have started since the last time we visited was baby led weaning.

168
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:54,560
So have you ever heard about that?

169
00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:56,260
you were, you mentioned that earlier.

170
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:11,300
So baby led weaning basically is, you know, the typical, what we will probably had as a, as kids and what a lot of people did, baby foods, everything being pureed and kind of cooked and smooth.

171
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Okay.

172
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:13,560
That was very typical.

173
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:13,920
Yeah.

174
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:19,120
Baby led weaning introduces food in a different way.

175
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:19,480
Okay.

176
00:10:20,180 --> 00:10:22,660
And it's none of that stuff.

177
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:34,640
The theory behind it is that a lot of times kids who get started on baby food and it has some negative, sometimes some negative impacts.

178
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:40,720
One of them is a lot of kids who get raised with baby food compared to other methods.

179
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:53,140
They are more picky eaters and they have more issues with consistency, like not necessarily taste, but textures because everything is smooth for so long.

180
00:10:54,140 --> 00:11:04,020
The other thing is when you do that, it's obviously it's a lot of work because you're never, you're making dinner for yourself and then you got to do whatever you got from the baby.

181
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:05,560
It's always something separate for the baby.

182
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,920
There's also the idea that you're feeding the kid at a particular time, whether they're necessarily are hungry or not.

183
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:21,460
Sometimes kids can get the kind of a bad association with sometimes I eat just because it's time to eat, not because I'm hungry.

184
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:33,240
So baby led weaning, the idea is to let them develop a relationship with food as something they experience first.

185
00:11:33,540 --> 00:11:41,040
And then if they happen to accidentally mash it in their mouth and they like it, then that's it.

186
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,120
And then if they're hungry, they're going to eat it.

187
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:43,680
Okay.

188
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,140
Right.

189
00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:50,320
So the idea is you expose them to different foods in big pieces.

190
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,720
Like let's, I don't know why I'm thinking like a piece of potato, baked potatoes.

191
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,900
One of the things is a bit piece of a sweet potato.

192
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Okay.

193
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:10,760
Well one of the things is just give them a big chunk of banana so big that they can't possibly choke on it, but big enough that they might cram, they might taste it or lick or do that stuff.

194
00:12:11,060 --> 00:12:13,920
So you don't have to make, you don't have to have baby food.

195
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:19,600
You don't even have to cook anything special, anything special.

196
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,080
So the other night I screwed up cause Kelly had made dinner and she made some broccoli for us to go with what we were eating.

197
00:12:26,260 --> 00:12:28,120
And then there was some broccoli set aside.

198
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:34,540
Well I just thought there were a couple of pieces of broccoli there and I ate them, but she had set aside some and didn't put salt or anything.

199
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,640
So basically all you gotta do is whatever you're preparing for you, just don't, don't season it, don't season it.

200
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:40,900
Right?

201
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:45,040
So if we have broccoli, she has the broccoli too.

202
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:48,480
That'd be a hand, you know, you hand her the little broccoli for it and that's it.

203
00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:00,860
So not surprisingly, the biggest fans of baby led weaning so far in this household are the dogs because most of the food, most of the food ends up on the floor, right?

204
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,400
It's just constantly falling and it's proven.

205
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,080
Rumpel is clearly smarter.

206
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,300
Rumpel's very strategic, gets right down there underneath.

207
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:10,640
She's like waiting.

208
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,600
She knows what Watson is watching cause he has a different perspective, right?

209
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:18,720
So he's up above the table of her, of her high chair.

210
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,440
So he's watching what's happening.

211
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Rumpel is smart enough to just be down there waiting for whatever benefits of being down there.

212
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:24,860
Yeah, yeah.

213
00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:31,120
But you do all the same stuff with like being careful about introducing potentially allergic foods or things like that.

214
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:32,520
But that's it.

215
00:13:32,540 --> 00:13:34,160
You kind of let them smash it up.

216
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:39,240
You let them play with it because yeah, it gets real messy, but it's going to happen either way.

217
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,080
It has the side benefit of, look, you don't have to, you don't have to do the special cooking.

218
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:46,640
The baby can kind of eat what you're eating.

219
00:13:46,820 --> 00:13:48,200
The other day we had chicken.

220
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:53,600
We just give her a big chunk of a chunk of a chicken breast and she's playing with it, right?

221
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Sometimes you mash some of it up and put it on a spoon, but you give them the spoon.

222
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:04,620
The side benefit of it is it's really good for their fine motor skills and hand to eye coordination.

223
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:07,820
So one of my employees did this with her.

224
00:14:07,820 --> 00:14:12,980
She is now actually getting ready to leave and go on maternity leave.

225
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,000
She's going to have her third.

226
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:24,680
She did this with her second and says that even though he's two or three years younger, he's way a way neater eater.

227
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:30,840
He's better now because his, his fine motor skills developed better because of this.

228
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:32,340
So I don't know what we did.

229
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,800
I mean we must've had like the mushed up carrots and all that.

230
00:14:37,820 --> 00:14:42,540
I mean, did you buy the, do you remember having the jars or a couple of times?

231
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,280
I mean, we, I mean I, so long ago I just mashed stuff up.

232
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,400
I could be wrong again.

233
00:14:48,460 --> 00:14:49,700
That could be a slice of pizza.

234
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:50,340
I think it was fine.

235
00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:50,580
Yeah.

236
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:51,860
Well he's eating pasta or something.

237
00:14:51,860 --> 00:14:52,300
I don't know.

238
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:59,300
I mean obviously we, we had to do some kind of, I remember buying baby food, but it wasn't like jars and jars of it.

239
00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:05,180
And it's fun because both of my kids had some kind of like palate problems with their food.

240
00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:08,360
Like Natalia, very picky and likes her.

241
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:08,780
Yeah.

242
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,540
So maybe he did.

243
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,920
We did more of that with him than yeah.

244
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,540
So it's called baby led weaning.

245
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:17,780
And the thing that I think is neat is there is an app.

246
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,420
Of course there's an app for everything.

247
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:25,980
The app is called solid starts, solid starts and it's, you do, it is a subscription.

248
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:39,560
You pay 99 bucks a year, but it gives you kind of step by step all these things you can do that are like a side dish for grownups, but it's a good thing to use for the baby.

249
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,440
So we have like, we are, we've done, we've done banana, sweet potato.

250
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,460
We've done zucchini.

251
00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:47,680
We tried applesauce the other day with the spoon.

252
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,720
We're not sure.

253
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,300
We think Kelly thinks she, she had, she got a little broken out.

254
00:15:52,460 --> 00:15:53,800
So the baby did.

255
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,440
Yeah.

256
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,340
Now I, Kelly, Kelly thinks it might be because it was applesauce.

257
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,520
I think it's so highly unlikely that she would be allergic to apple.

258
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,400
Give more apples.

259
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:14,240
Give them, just let them just, yeah, I was, we're going to, we, she actually just called the pediatrician about it earlier today and they said, we'll hold off on apples until you know, you see us again.

260
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,580
But I think it was just, it could have been from any babysit.

261
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:18,120
Oh my God.

262
00:16:18,380 --> 00:16:18,740
Rashes.

263
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,860
The foods are on them.

264
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,160
They're, I mean, yeah, she's covered in sweet potatoes.

265
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,940
She looked like an orange, like of course, I mean, got better safe than sorry.

266
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:28,720
Again, your first child to your third.

267
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:30,100
I'm like, that's not a rash.

268
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,000
Rub it on them.

269
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:31,660
Yeah, exactly.

270
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,160
You'll know if they're allergic.

271
00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:37,540
So we've tried a bunch of different stuff and we're continuing to do that.

272
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:45,200
But the app helps with suggestions, recipes, and how to introduce the foods that might be more allergic.

273
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,900
And we're going to be using that as well.

274
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,760
So it's solid starts as the app.

275
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:50,240
Solid starts.

276
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:53,640
It's called, there's a book that will be a part of book report in the future.

277
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,420
I'm sure called baby led weaning.

278
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,460
Kelly has already read it.

279
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:03,220
The app is called solid starts and that's kind of what we have been doing and it has led to yet another product recommendation.

280
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,060
Although I think Kelly found this one and it is good.

281
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:09,640
This stuff is fantastic.

282
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:11,300
She swears by it.

283
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:22,900
It is called miss mouth's messy eater, stain treater, messy eater, stain treater.

284
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,820
So when the kids covered in sweet potatoes, it comes a little, I'll put up a, I'll put up a link.

285
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:32,240
You've squirt, squirt, squirt and throw it in the hamper.

286
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,660
And then when you wash it, everything comes out clean.

287
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:37,260
Also, I can, Oh, it's like a pre-treater pre-treat.

288
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:38,600
So that shout it out.

289
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:51,260
And so it's like, so, so basically, because if you don't like, we've already had a couple of pieces of her clothes that if you don't immediately wash them or hit them with this stuff, it's their stain forever, especially like the carrots and the, yeah, yeah.

290
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,220
All that's right.

291
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:52,980
Well, everything's orange.

292
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:56,240
So this stuff, that is, that stuff is great because it does get messy.

293
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:56,480
Cool.

294
00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:58,180
Does it work for anybody?

295
00:17:58,820 --> 00:18:00,400
We're just baby food.

296
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,720
It might work for me too.

297
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,580
I hasn't been suggested yet, but it could, it could work.

298
00:18:05,620 --> 00:18:07,660
It's like a 16 ounce spray bottle.

299
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,300
It's not cheap.

300
00:18:08,540 --> 00:18:10,480
16 ounce spray bottle is 29 bucks.

301
00:18:11,020 --> 00:18:12,840
So, but worth every penny.

302
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,440
If you're buying a baby first, we had the state fair here where we are.

303
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,680
We went to the fair.

304
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,680
Did you, we did now.

305
00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:23,800
Did you always do that with the kids or yes, we went to the fair.

306
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:26,560
But yeah, so we, we went obviously.

307
00:18:27,260 --> 00:18:27,720
Yeah.

308
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,500
She's so little.

309
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,580
We walked around.

310
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,880
We went right to the more for yourselves at that point.

311
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:39,220
And it was a stroller and there were my takeaways were there's a lot more food at the fair than there used to be.

312
00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:41,660
There's a lot more places to sit down.

313
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,640
There's a lot more products for the obese and unhealthy.

314
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,820
Oh yeah.

315
00:18:45,940 --> 00:18:46,760
A lot of that stuff.

316
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:50,480
And as a community, we are, we are not great looking.

317
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,360
Yeah.

318
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,460
It's a little, and it got more expensive, right?

319
00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:54,560
Obviously everything.

320
00:18:54,740 --> 00:18:58,720
I mean, it was eight bucks to get in and we didn't really, I'm talking about like the food.

321
00:18:59,140 --> 00:19:02,180
I think it's like over, it's pretty, it was $10 or more, right?

322
00:19:02,420 --> 00:19:02,740
Oh yeah.

323
00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:04,280
Sandwiches are like 1499.

324
00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:04,780
Yeah.

325
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:08,940
I mean, we got a little pizza from Toss and Fire, which I really like, but it wasn't bad.

326
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,520
It wasn't, I didn't think, Oh my God, how could it be this much?

327
00:19:11,980 --> 00:19:14,680
But there was a lot of stuff that you see about bringing a family.

328
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,360
Oh yeah.

329
00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:15,860
Yeah.

330
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:16,400
Yeah.

331
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,360
No, it could be a lot.

332
00:19:17,540 --> 00:19:22,220
I mean, the state fair should be something that everybody's not like from New York city and has millions of dollars.

333
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,100
You got, you know, people that, you know, you have three, four or five kids sometimes.

334
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:30,440
You bring them there and everything costs so much a drink.

335
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,580
It does add up.

336
00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:31,980
I'm sure.

337
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,740
We used to bring our own food.

338
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:33,540
Oh yeah.

339
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,880
We used to bring sandwiches and stuff, but it was fun.

340
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:38,500
We walked around.

341
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,820
The one encounter she did have, we went right to the agricultural buildings to see the animals.

342
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:43,120
Sure.

343
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:43,540
Oh yeah.

344
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:44,500
We went to the dairy building.

345
00:19:45,540 --> 00:19:50,640
They had one calf in a small pen and kids could walk up.

346
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:50,860
Yep.

347
00:19:51,400 --> 00:20:01,060
So I rolled her right up in her little stroller and the calf stuck her head in the head out through the rails and started licking her feet.

348
00:20:01,260 --> 00:20:05,020
And it was the first time that it was very clear.

349
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:13,320
There is that moment for a little kid where they look at the parent for, should I be worried?

350
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:13,600
Yeah.

351
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:14,160
Protection.

352
00:20:14,460 --> 00:20:15,780
She's like, is this okay?

353
00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:20,400
And she was, gave us that look like, is, are you like, is this everything fine?

354
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:22,260
And we were both like, it's okay.

355
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:22,900
She was fine.

356
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:30,200
And then we kind of backed her away a little bit, but it was, these don't look like those things that licked me at home.

357
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:30,480
Yeah.

358
00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:32,280
This is a lot, this is bigger than Watson.

359
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,480
That was kind of cute.

360
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,500
So that was about as interactive as the state fair got for, for a little baby Josie.

361
00:20:38,580 --> 00:20:39,300
We did that.

362
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:45,160
We have made the transition now from six month to nine month close.

363
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Oh really?

364
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:52,700
So even though she just turned six months, because she's long, she's sizing out of, well, she's eating chicken.

365
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,040
She's got a turkey leg.

366
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:55,640
Turkey leg.

367
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:55,880
Yeah.

368
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,040
That was a, and that was a big transition.

369
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,900
Cause it's like, you got to kind of box up everything else.

370
00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:01,860
And then isn't it crazy?

371
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,140
All those clothes, like you like, Oh, okay.

372
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,360
Oh, at the end there was like three outfits a day.

373
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,660
Cause there were so many things that she had never even worn.

374
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:08,980
Right.

375
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:09,240
Right.

376
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:21,960
The other thing that is nice is one of her cousins, her mom gave us a bunch of her clothes and some of the cutest stuff, uh, our little outfits from her cousin Isla.

377
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:25,720
Uh, so we've been enjoying trying, trying those out every time.

378
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Almost every time I'm like, that's so cute.

379
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,040
Where'd that come from?

380
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:28,660
It's from Isla.

381
00:21:28,860 --> 00:21:32,340
I remember the first child you'd have to buy it.

382
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:32,820
Oh yeah.

383
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:41,820
Maybe hand-me-downs, you know, I remember, uh, uh, my brother would have some stuff, but you know, not many, but the second one, Oh yeah.

384
00:21:41,860 --> 00:21:44,000
You get all the hand-me-downs from the brother.

385
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,600
Yeah.

386
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,300
Cause we had two boys.

387
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,160
So we were like, we don't have to buy anything.

388
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:49,100
Cause he just, you know, so it was cool.

389
00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:50,720
They could have headed your way.

390
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:51,240
No.

391
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,900
So that, that's been fun.

392
00:21:52,960 --> 00:22:00,460
The closet that I showed you in the last episode is now fully stocked with all kinds of, all kinds of stuff.

393
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:02,300
So that's all, uh, all full.

394
00:22:02,540 --> 00:22:16,880
And then the, the big one, honestly, one of the big moments for us is something that, that I know Kelly has been waiting for, has been the, the rollover, right?

395
00:22:17,020 --> 00:22:17,340
Yeah.

396
00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:20,020
That's a big, that's a big developmental milestone.

397
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:29,080
Same day rolls over and breaks out my personal favorite of all of these milestones broke out.

398
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:29,660
Dada.

399
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,840
No.

400
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Same day.

401
00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:36,940
It was, I gotta tell you, I know she has no idea what it means.

402
00:22:37,340 --> 00:22:41,600
I know she has no idea that she hasn't made fully made the association to me yet.

403
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,480
Or at least at that point, adding, she likes the sound of what it makes.

404
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,820
She figured out.

405
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,320
Dada.

406
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,940
And so cool though.

407
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,200
But you know what it means.

408
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,260
I I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm tearing up talking about hearing that.

409
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:56,100
Hearing that.

410
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:56,660
I loved it.

411
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,100
And so, Oh, it's just, I loved it.

412
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,840
It's come from a little girl.

413
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,560
And I know the baby's not, you know, they all have that.

414
00:23:03,740 --> 00:23:06,620
She has this thing now that she seems to like to do it.

415
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,680
Like, like it's a whisper and she'll look at me.

416
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:10,560
Dada.

417
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,500
Oh my God.

418
00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:16,280
And it's like, what do you do?

419
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:19,020
Kelly's sitting there going, mama, mama, mama.

420
00:23:19,140 --> 00:23:20,480
She's been doing now.

421
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:28,640
It's like, she's doing Dada, Josie, mama, trying to get her to under the, to get, to make the, make the connection.

422
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,080
So I'm hoping there's a mama very soon today.

423
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,680
Today was for the first time.

424
00:23:33,940 --> 00:23:36,180
Tata Tata Tata.

425
00:23:37,260 --> 00:23:38,580
She got a T sound.

426
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:47,320
I don't know if that's, but the very distinct difference from the Dada, but yeah, so Dada and rolling over on the same day, which was awesome.

427
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,580
And now she's even getting good at, she's, she's pressing up.

428
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:53,040
So she's holding herself up.

429
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,700
She's doing, yep.

430
00:23:54,900 --> 00:24:02,660
I was talking to my sister in Texas today, Lucille, and she was asking if I have started in earnest to train for the baby races.

431
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:03,100
Well, yeah.

432
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:05,680
And she was, she got all about those.

433
00:24:05,860 --> 00:24:07,760
She had, Oh, I, well, I got to get serious.

434
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:12,740
Now we're only a couple of months away where we got to be ready.

435
00:24:12,820 --> 00:24:18,760
And she's like, you need to think about, you need to have a plushie that is just for the races.

436
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,280
Now when, when is this cruise potential cruise?

437
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,820
So the cruise is already booked, ready to go.

438
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:25,280
It's booked.

439
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:25,600
Okay.

440
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,100
Oh, it was booked before she was born.

441
00:24:27,660 --> 00:24:29,620
Uh, we, we plotted it out.

442
00:24:29,740 --> 00:24:35,400
It's going to be our family and Kelly's brother and his wife are joining us.

443
00:24:35,460 --> 00:24:36,700
We have adjoining cabins.

444
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Really?

445
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Uh, yeah, yeah.

446
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,100
They're there.

447
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:46,000
They have, we'll have a little door that they can come and come back and forth between our cabin and their cab.

448
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,440
I was thinking for some reason I thought all in one.

449
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,080
No, no.

450
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:49,600
Oh God.

451
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,060
They have a cabin.

452
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,660
That's why I looked at you like, no, no, no.

453
00:24:51,660 --> 00:24:55,200
But there's a little door that we can go like an adjoining hotel room.

454
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:59,160
So it's a seven night cruise and it's like the second week of December.

455
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,860
So what was the race again?

456
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,680
So the races, uh, they call it, this is a Disney cruise.

457
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,940
And what they do on every Disney cruise we've been on and we've been on a lot and finally we get to not be the weird people cause we'll have a kid.

458
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:14,940
I think they stole the baby.

459
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,040
We need a DNA test.

460
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:29,620
So what they do is on sea days when there's not as much to do, people aren't going ashore around midday in the atrium, they have an event and it's the Jack Jack baby races.

461
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,140
So Jack Jack from the Incredibles.

462
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,940
And they literally set up a five lane track.

463
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:35,260
Sure.

464
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:35,740
Of course.

465
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,440
It was a sprint track and they race multiple heats and the usual.

466
00:25:40,620 --> 00:25:46,520
And then the winner of each heat then goes into a championship and they race for different prizes.

467
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:50,260
So you have, you have one parent holding the baby at the start.

468
00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:55,460
You have a parent or a sibling or somebody enticing them.

469
00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:55,880
Sure.

470
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:26,720
And then but that's it.

471
00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:32,360
And then they just raced the babies and it's fun and it's fun because they will make everybody in the whole atrium is full.

472
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:37,540
Hundreds of people all watching this cheering for the babies and it's always hilarious.

473
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:43,540
Usually I mean seven to 10 months probably.

474
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,740
So she's going to be babies crying, right?

475
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:55,400
Aren't they freaking out like everybody's going, out of all the times we've done this, we've done it and every cruise we go on, we never missed the baby races and I have never seen a kid cry.

476
00:26:55,820 --> 00:26:55,920
Okay.

477
00:26:56,020 --> 00:26:59,900
There's a lot of just sitting there like what was like what's going on?

478
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,360
How many babies?

479
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,620
I know there's five, but it all depends.

480
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:05,860
What's the most you've seen?

481
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:06,380
10.

482
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:08,580
The most I've seen is like 15 babies.

483
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:08,980
Okay.

484
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:12,520
They do three heat shots and then the final, right?

485
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,060
Really?

486
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:13,560
Yeah.

487
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Sometimes, sometimes people take this serious.

488
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,460
Sometimes it's not as many.

489
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:16,920
Okay.

490
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,300
There's always some kid from Alabama that's like a ringer.

491
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:21,920
Like it's like takes off like a rocket.

492
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,780
That's funny, but it's fun because you never know what's like, it's always different, but it's such a cute thing.

493
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,040
So Josie is curl.

494
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:30,680
No, no.

495
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,220
Now.

496
00:27:31,420 --> 00:27:31,720
No.

497
00:27:31,940 --> 00:27:35,220
But my hope is, which is why we booked it where we did.

498
00:27:35,340 --> 00:27:37,060
We booked it at the beginning of December.

499
00:27:37,060 --> 00:27:41,580
So she will be, well, she's six, seven, eight.

500
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,160
She'll be nine months.

501
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Prime crawling age.

502
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,340
So I'm hoping she can, you know, I'm sure.

503
00:27:48,340 --> 00:27:49,060
There's no idea.

504
00:27:49,400 --> 00:28:02,200
What's no, what's I'm already, I've already worked out where we're going to, I've already done the designs in, in auto illustrator for the t-shirts that we will be wearing the team name.

505
00:28:02,340 --> 00:28:02,780
Her crew.

506
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,460
Yes.

507
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:04,800
Uh, maybe Josie.

508
00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:05,320
Yes.

509
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,060
Baby Josie's pit crew.

510
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:07,640
That's fun.

511
00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:09,020
Step aside.

512
00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:13,940
It's just her name on the front and then on the back busting farts and breaking hearts.

513
00:28:16,620 --> 00:28:17,920
Disney cruise 2025.

514
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:18,920
All right.

515
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,040
That's awesome, man.

516
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:21,060
I forgot about that.

517
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:22,000
That's December.

518
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:22,440
Yeah.

519
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,060
We're looking, we're looking forward to it.

520
00:28:24,140 --> 00:28:26,800
So, so I got it, but my sister was taking it very seriously.

521
00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:29,600
Like you have to have something that she's used to.

522
00:28:29,740 --> 00:28:31,820
So when she sees it, she knows she has to run to it.

523
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,900
We'll get there thinking about kind of the psychological underpinnings of this kind of race.

524
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:37,580
Um, so I'm excited.

525
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,120
It'd be fun.

526
00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:38,940
Can't wait to hear.

527
00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:39,740
We're looking forward to it.

528
00:28:39,740 --> 00:28:40,840
So we're going to get ready for that.

529
00:28:41,180 --> 00:28:41,480
Josie.

530
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:42,220
That's right.

531
00:28:42,220 --> 00:28:47,560
The thing she's working on now is she should be the next milestone is sitting up on assisted.

532
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,920
She still tips over so, but she's trying to brace herself.

533
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:52,840
So doesn't her dad.

534
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,120
She always, that's true.

535
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,100
A lot.

536
00:28:55,180 --> 00:29:04,440
I think she always hits those, these kind of the physical, the milestones, like right at the point where she's supposed to, it's the other stuff.

537
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,540
She's early, all the social stuff is, and kind of that stuff is early.

538
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,840
But so we have that the other last weekend, I built her her first little bookcase for her nursery.

539
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,140
So it's a little juvenile bookcase.

540
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:22,260
It's from a pottery barn kids or William Sonoma thing.

541
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,040
I'll put up a picture of it cute and it's set up.

542
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,940
So the books face out, not all right.

543
00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:30,500
So like a, are they like a library?

544
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,860
So the kid can see and pick what book they want and it looks good.

545
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,180
I was so happy because it fit right next to the mouse hole, the way it should.

546
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,640
She's going to be reading to the mouse.

547
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,480
She will probably read to the mouse.

548
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,000
That's true.

549
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:52,760
I think we're doing much better with our rhythm and I think she's gotten really used to and really starting to have genuine affection for Carrie.

550
00:29:52,940 --> 00:29:54,580
She's enjoying it for our caregiver.

551
00:29:55,060 --> 00:29:55,540
Yup.

552
00:29:55,620 --> 00:29:57,180
They're getting on really well.

553
00:29:57,460 --> 00:30:00,660
Like if they're learning each other's, yeah, it's been nice.

554
00:30:01,020 --> 00:30:03,260
Um, this last yesterday was just great.

555
00:30:03,420 --> 00:30:06,840
I was actually able to go to run some errands and come home.

556
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:15,720
And isn't it when you find that when you get a little bit of that freedom back, oh yeah, you know, like I always say, um, it's so like, oh, let me run to the store.

557
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:16,400
I'll run to the store.

558
00:30:16,460 --> 00:30:16,800
No, really.

559
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:18,860
I'll get that milk.

560
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:19,860
What was ironic?

561
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:22,840
Did I think I got, I didn't have my hair.

562
00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:24,920
I got a haircut since we recorded last.

563
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,280
Yeah.

564
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,980
Cause I came over, we came over for dinner and you just got your haircut.

565
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:36,560
So that day it was funny because a lot of times I'm working, so I'm downstairs in the office, the baby's upstairs and she was having a hard time.

566
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,180
She was crying and it's so hard to try to focus on work, hearing that.

567
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,260
So it's stressful.

568
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:45,120
But I had a moment and I thought I'm going to go get it.

569
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,560
I was like, normally I get a haircut every four weeks.

570
00:30:47,620 --> 00:30:48,400
My hair grows fast.

571
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,960
I was at eight weeks.

572
00:30:50,060 --> 00:30:52,560
I had missed a haircut and I needed a cut.

573
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:53,420
It was cold in here.

574
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:54,540
And I was just going to go.

575
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,020
I was like, I'm just going to go to the barber around the corner.

576
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:57,880
I like it.

577
00:30:57,940 --> 00:30:59,740
So I'm like, okay, things are okay.

578
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:03,080
I'm going to run real quick and I'm going to get my haircut.

579
00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:11,540
I walk in and there is like a, I don't know, three-year-old kid in the chair screaming.

580
00:31:13,420 --> 00:31:13,560
Of course.

581
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:20,000
And I just, I looked at the, I thought, this is the good Lord just poking me.

582
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,960
Like, you thought you were going to get away from that sound?

583
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:22,900
Guess what?

584
00:31:23,340 --> 00:31:26,380
I sit down with my guy.

585
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:28,200
I was kind of shaking my head.

586
00:31:28,260 --> 00:31:29,040
He's like, everything okay?

587
00:31:29,180 --> 00:31:33,980
I'm like, he's like, and I told him, so I told him, I'm like, I told him my story and he just laughed.

588
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,480
And that kid, the guy who was cutting the, he was a young guy who was cutting that kid's hair the whole time.

589
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,680
The mother's like, it's just going to be another two minutes.

590
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,520
It's okay.

591
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,680
And he's like, I don't want to get it.

592
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,240
It was horrible.

593
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,600
If we, you or I had ever done that to a barber, we would have never needed a haircut again.

594
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,500
But the kid, when the kid was gone, I looked at the bar.

595
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,300
I'm like, you have must have the patience of a saint to be able to do that.

596
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:00,480
I remember we used to do that.

597
00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:11,240
And I don't, I don't remember if, if they were both bad, one of them, but I know one time we just bad haircuts for kids are bad.

598
00:32:11,540 --> 00:32:12,940
And you just have to tip them.

599
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,100
Well, because those people are, we used to have a lot of ladies and they're so good.

600
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,900
I don't think we had a gentleman that cut the baby's hair.

601
00:32:19,940 --> 00:32:22,440
It was always a female and they're so good.

602
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,400
And I'm like, I could never, like when I look at a nurse, I could never do what you're doing.

603
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,900
Even the same thing with the barber of a baby.

604
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:29,320
Nope.

605
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:29,940
Couldn't do it.

606
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,260
Sorry.

607
00:32:30,460 --> 00:32:30,720
Yep.

608
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:31,400
Not for me.

609
00:32:31,540 --> 00:32:33,040
So, yeah, but that, that was good.

610
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:33,940
It was kind of funny.

611
00:32:34,260 --> 00:32:38,060
So things have been going really well with Carrie and it's starting to smooth out.

612
00:32:38,060 --> 00:32:38,340
That's important.

613
00:32:38,780 --> 00:32:39,600
Yeah, it is.

614
00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:40,000
It is.

615
00:32:40,060 --> 00:32:40,640
So that's been good.

616
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:44,040
But that's, that is pretty much everything with what just happened.

617
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,220
So we're glad you made it to the end.
