Tummy time is paying off, and our baby is getting so strong! She's more upright, looking around, and her grasping is developing. Sometimes, when she grabs something and looks serious, she looks just like Churchill! "We will fight them in the skies, we will fight them on the beaches!" She's…
I've been creating a special path through the woods for our baby, complete with a makeshift walking bridge over the watershed! Eventually, she'll have her own trail through the meadow, down to the pond, and back to the house. It's something Kelly and I get to curate, and to her,…

Growing up, I felt like I was invisible to my dad, but he was "very present" with my brother – like he worked him "like a slave"! 😂 We're diving into some hilarious (and slightly dark) family dynamics. Can you relate to feeling like the "invisible" child or having a…
Have you seen those videos of babies crawling in the creepiest ways? We're talking straight arms and legs, or just pushing with their legs and sliding like a sloth! It's unsettling but hilarious! Our baby's legs are strong, and with the "Jack Jack baby races" on the Disney cruise coming…
Watson, our big dog, loves to play fetch, and our three-month-old baby is already watching him, laughing, and trying to get his attention! Once she learns to throw that ball, Watson's going to be her favorite thing. The funny thing now is I have to be a "quick draw artist"…
Get ready for some laughs with these podcast outtakes! We tried to do some "sexy" calls to action, but it quickly devolved into Pepe Le Pew impressions! "Hey girl, don't miss any of the fun!" It's proof that even podcasters have their clumsy moments. Don't miss any of the fun,…

Carlo came in to record today and made the baby cry! But she's usually so happy, and there's something about a baby's cute cry that's just different. It's not like that annoying two or three-year-old cry that makes you want to yell "Shut up!" When it's your own kid, it's…
We're cracking up imagining what babies really think they're looking at! "What are these things looking at me? What's that hairy thing with teeth?" Even our dog, Watson, who's eight times her size, must look like a monster! He doesn't respond to smiles, but he loves to smell and lick!…
Dads and moms react to being scared about parenting differently! We think moms don't look like they're allowed to feel scared, keeping it to the quiet moments. But dads? We do it out loud, at inconvenient times, whenever, wherever! We're like, "Ah!" with "tears on fire!" 😂 Can you relate?…
We're tackling the "gentle parenting" trend and its wild claims! Advocates argue that self-soothing teaches a child there's no help coming, basically creating a sociopath! We find it absolutely insane how crazy they are about it! But hey, it's tough to hear them cry, until they figure it out and…
Our baby got the cutest sterling silver rattle engraved with her name and birthday! But the really neat gift was an old hospital beaded bracelet from when my siblings were born – that's how they used to label babies! It's so tiny, like a ring on my thumb! What old…
We watched a Disney Cruiseline commercial featuring a lonely towel puppy waiting for his family, and Kelly and I both burst into tears! My happy tears were for the future family moments, but Kelly's were more of a "sad cry"! This commercial hit us hard! Have you ever cried at…
Did you know one of the markers of a good couple is if you both like or both dislike scary movies? Carlo & Trina couldn't care less about them! We prefer light and fluffy, maybe an action film, or even just silly stuff like Paul Rudd on a beach! No…
Our baby is already mastering being flirtatious with head tilts and effective eye use! But the truly hilarious part? I think she's developing an eye roll! When I'm being goofy, she looks up and to the left, smiling, but I'm pretty sure it's the beginning of a classic "Oh my…

We're sending love to our listener in France! 🇫🇷 And apparently, if we get four or more downloads in any country, we'll learn their language! 😂 Get ready for some Swahili or whatever it takes, because we're committed to our international audience (even if it's just one download in Vietnam!).…
My sister LOVES this jewelry company (Angara) because their boxes have a built-in LED light that makes the jewelry sparkle! ✨ But her battery died, and she's been trying to get my wife's box as a replacement! We're joking about how often she must open it to kill the battery…
We're diving into the "Go Bag" debate for the hospital, and guess what? Our wives proved us wrong! Apparently, Trina DID have one ready to go, and Carlo's wife wants to be a lawyer for how quickly she points out when he's wrong! It's all part of that "gotcha journalism"…
So a screenshot of a pendant I was buying as a surprise for my wife popped up on our TV as we were looking at baby Josie pictures. Kelly, thought it was pretty, but I had to think fast to keep the surprise alive! I told her my sister was…
My wife told her sister our baby has my nose, and her sister agreed! But my nose has been broken so many times, I don't think it's genetic at this point! 😂 Is it cute on a little girl? I found it amusing! What unexpected features did your baby inherit?…
