Parker is so smart, Jessica and Christopher do a great job raising their kids so aware of everything that happens in life and making it absolutely normal to experience and understand "grown up" stuff at such a young age
Parker is so eloquent I'm so surprised 😭 he was still so little in my mind and now he's like,,, an actual functioning human of his own ??? idk it's just very surprising! he's a very bright, kind kid 💕
Such a sweet discussion between Colleen and Parker! They’ve always had such a sweet relationship! I’ve enjoyed this most beloved talk between Aunt and Nephew! “Miranda and Mini Miranda!”
This is so special. I hope Jessica and Christopher get the chance to watch this and be so proud of their children, they are so well spoken, kind hearted and genuinely beautiful people.
“parker what’s the best way to show someone you love them?” 🎶 TELL THEM THEYRE LOVED, FROM YOUR TOY COMPUTER… I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! 🎶
It's so awesome Parker was allowed in the delivery room AND how he's knowledgeable about it!! I think when we remove the stigma and awkwardness around the topic and affected body parts, it encourages kids to more comfortably understand it and appreciate it with more maturity.
bailey's mannerisms as she talks about being nervous about watching Duncan's birth and the blood and everything is so entertaining to me. she's such a fun young lady
Bailey could be a great voice over actress for a cartoon or something she has such a sweet and animated voice.. I think she would love it and be great!
Jacob is hilarious and I love him. Bailey is just the sweetest human ever. She's the same age as my youngest daughter. ❤ I didn't know you did The Last Five Years, but I have been thinking that you'd be perfect for it, and I would love to hear you and Erik sing songs from it.
Alright here are my predictions for the kiddos' careers. Bailey - Author or teacher Jake - Chef or animator Parker - Physical therapist or Dancer Duncan - Voice actor/comedian or Museum Curator Luke - Maybe some sort of media Producer or Photographer Teddy - Idk! Nothing to go off yet lol
I’m one month younger than Bailey, and it’s so comforting to know that I’m not the only 13 year old girl that is not just about the modern day and trends! If I didn’t live on the other side of the country, I’m sure we would be great friends
Great episode!! It is SO lovely to see Colleen happy and laughing so much. She is so beautiful when she is genuinely laughing and smiling. (also, Erik is incredibly good-looking in this episode. Dang.)
Parker seems like the sweetest kid!! Bailey seems like the kindest soul!! Jacob seems so creative and outgoing!! There was so much happiness and I really loved this podcast!! So many smiles!! 🥰😊😄
Omg I have always thought Bailey seems like she's in her own head thinking hard about things! And now she's old enough to really start expressing herself on an advanced level and we see how smart she really is. 💕
These kids are some of the sweetest, compassionate, most intelligent young people I’ve ever seen. I love seeing their close relationships with Colleen too 🥺
Colleen, watching your interaction with the kids is so beautiful to me. You’re such a great person overall. One of the reasons I’ve followed you for many years is because of how genuine and family oriented you are. You’re such a kind, strong soul. ❤️
I am BLOWWWWNNNNN away by the wisdom, courage, love and generosity that is pouring out of Parker’s body, mind and soul. As a former preschool teacher (pre_pandemic), I am truly left speechless by that little human sitting next to Colleen! I hope and pray that Parker’s dream of one day being a dad comes true. To see this entire family raise fierce world changers is truly inspiring. Parker will be such a great dad and leader for his family. I personally LOVE that they have so many kids because WOOOWW they know how to raise good humans. I would put that at the top of their resumes, above “influencers”. Thank you for being such an awesome family for positive change. I am here for it and I’m taking notes! Allison Brown
I agree. Or a midwife. In general I think he'll be better as a nurse. I'm sure he would be a skilled doctor as well but I think nurses in general have more continual contact with patients and he's so good with people!
can I just say how genuinely funny Jake is! like obviously someone like parker makes me laugh bc he’s so cute and sweet but Jake has such a good sense of humor like he’s actually so funny hahaha
Title should be “Parker’s Placenta Surprise” 😂 I was surprised to hear the word placenta a bazillion times 😂 But seriously…This is the sweetest podcast ever! 🤍
This is my favorite episode of this podcast! So sweet and I am in so much awe of how smart these kids are! Also ... even just listening to this without video you can obviously just feel how much love Colleen has for her niece and nephews!
I loved watching how you interact with the kids! It was fun to see all their different personalities and how you relate with each one:) I also love Jacobs sense of humor
Sunday is the FIRST day on my calendar... Anyone else's? Jake is such a kind-hearted, sweet, funny, and caring person... If and when he finds his life partner, they will be sooo... blessed... I wish you would have interviewed Duncan, he always has so much to say.
Parker is such a sweet kid! So caring and well spoken. And "being a dad" is such a good wish for the future! He could consider becoming a birth doctor or a midwife since he's already so smart and knowledgable about the birthing process 🥰
I just stumbled on this video. I just recently became a regular watcher of your vlogs. Colleen, so fun to watch you with your niece and nephews. You’re so great with kids and they’re all so wonderful. You’re all lucky to have each other. No wonder why you’re such a great Mom - you come from such a fantastic family. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Colleen you won bragging rights, lol! Eric, you’re right, get that mama the surfboard she EARNED!!! I think she deserves it too!!🏄🏻♀️🏆 we NEED to see that baby in the Ballinger home🤩
Parker is such a pleasure to watch you have a conversation with. He is so great on camera and so mature for his age and mannerisms. The world needs more Parkers
I love these kids! So talented for their ages, smart, creative and good vibes! I hope the best for all the Ballinger kids, including Flynn and the twins!
Wow that was such a different experience, actually getting to see Parker sit down and talk. He is so freaking smart, wth? I'm literally so happy that this family is growing because the world needs more of you guys! 💜💜 & omg Jake was so relatable? I'd describe myself as hungry too.😂
Such a sweet podcast! All the Ballinger children are so polite and articulate. Jess & Chris have done an amazing job with raising them to be kind, empathetic & thoughtful, well rounded humans. You are both amazing parents also, you can already see your impact on Flynn. He’s such a sweet kid! I can’t wait to see how he helps out with the twins, I just know their bond will be as strong as Jess & Chris’ kids’ are already.
Parker is so smart, Jessica and Christopher do a great job raising their kids so aware of everything that happens in life and making it absolutely normal to experience and understand "grown up" stuff at such a young age
Love it so much!
Exactly why I love this entire family
i whole heartedly thought he was at least 11 and that’s only because i know jacob is 12 😭😭

Honestly Parker is a great storyteller he should tell more stories.
Also he is so smart.
Yep. The exploitation of children is soooooo cool.

Same
Literally
Omg i was thinking the same thing lolll, i was just about to post a thirsty ass reply but this one that starts with "respectfully" says it all
It’s so cool to see the Ballinger kids having a conversation one on one like this, they’re all so sweet.
Erik: “you don’t have THAT many friends…I’m sure we can narrow it down.”
Colleen: “well that’s true”
I felt that😂

Parker is so eloquent I'm so surprised 😭 he was still so little in my mind and now he's like,,, an actual functioning human of his own ??? idk it's just very surprising! he's a very bright, kind kid 💕
He's a child. A child being exploited by all the adults in his life. Wake up.
@@overit7486 you think that and yet you're still here watching this video, therefore supporting them... 🧐 huh
@@overit7486 The Ballingers have always openly talked about giving their kids the choice to be on camera or not. This is far from exploitation...

@@overit7486 How is he being exploited? He is obviously very happy to be on camera, and if he didn't want to, they wouldn't make him.
"You cry when they leave." That's it. Parker said it all.
kid is so smart for being 8 haha that cracked me up
I love the innocence and honesty in that.
Why aren't more people talking about Jacob? Kid is hilarious! 😂
Hahah, I know! I always have a soft spot for him!
exactly, in my opinion, he was the most entertaining and funniest
And is so generous and kind. He’s always taking care of the others. Love him!!
I ADORE Jacob. He is the sweetest kid
I just love how Colleen talks with Parker. She knows how smart he is, and doesn’t talk to him different cause of his age
when parker said he wanted to be a dad IT WAS SO CUTE I WAS CRYING.
Such a sweet discussion between Colleen and Parker! They’ve always had such a sweet relationship! I’ve enjoyed this most beloved talk between Aunt and Nephew! “Miranda and Mini Miranda!”
they have the same laugh too! it really is such a sweet relationship.
Parker has always held a special place in my heart, I can’t explain why. He’s such a cool little kid!
This is so special. I hope Jessica and Christopher get the chance to watch this and be so proud of their children, they are so well spoken, kind hearted and genuinely beautiful people.
Parker is so intelligent and so interested in the conversation! He’s adorable❤️
“parker what’s the best way to show someone you love them?”
🎶 TELL THEM THEYRE LOVED, FROM YOUR TOY COMPUTER… I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! 🎶
LOL i was literally hoping he would’ve sung that
I literally thought of this!!!!
Literally thought this too
Give them a heart draw them a heart with a pen on there toy computer
I was waiting and waiting for a reference lol!
It's so awesome Parker was allowed in the delivery room AND how he's knowledgeable about it!! I think when we remove the stigma and awkwardness around the topic and affected body parts, it encourages kids to more comfortably understand it and appreciate it with more maturity.
bailey's mannerisms as she talks about being nervous about watching Duncan's birth and the blood and everything is so entertaining to me. she's such a fun young lady
Jacob’s joke killed me 🤣👏🏽
And Parker altogether was just hilarious
Lets appreciate how they still decided to film for us even when they were out of the house watching kids all week❤️
Because filming is thier job duhhhh!
@@alishabatool61 yes! Exactly!! Other than acting!
Erik should use his craft skills and make Colleen a surfboard !! 🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️
He should make a best mom surfboard! 😂
that is such a good idea!
I bet he's already thought of that 🤩😊 i hope he does
That's such a sweet idea. 💕💕
Colleen and Erik together give me so much hope that there’s love and good people out there in this world.
Jacob makes himself seem so much older than 11. He seems like a 13 year old
he's much more mature than any guys my age, I'm 18 lol
Almost 12 and 13 isn’t that much different lol
For the longest time I thought he was the oldest kid
my heart exploded when Erik said "I'm always here for u" their the cutest!
Bailey could be a great voice over actress for a cartoon or something she has such a sweet and animated voice.. I think she would love it and be great!
She is in centaur world!
@Megan Mary I agree Bailey would be a great voice actress!
Ops sorry I thought you were talking about Colleen!
Omg the way Jason Derulo butchered her name HAHAHAHAHA I died "Colleen Ba-Ling-Ger"🤣
Jacob is hilarious and I love him. Bailey is just the sweetest human ever. She's the same age as my youngest daughter. ❤ I didn't know you did The Last Five Years, but I have been thinking that you'd be perfect for it, and I would love to hear you and Erik sing songs from it.
You can find her Cathy on UA-cam if you want to watch her performance 😊
@@jessiezsings Awesome! Thank you.
Jake is hilarious he has such good comedic timing
All of their kids are adorable. But I love listing to Parker. He’s so sweet. All of their kids are so precious.
Omg Parker talking with Colleen on the podcast is everything!!! He would be so good on his own podcast or with his siblings! He’s so good at it!!!!!😁😁
Pls give Colleen her frickin' surfboard
Parker is a GEM! The way he listens and responds, gosh, such a little adult.
Alright here are my predictions for the kiddos' careers.
Bailey - Author or teacher
Jake - Chef or animator
Parker - Physical therapist or Dancer
Duncan - Voice actor/comedian or Museum Curator
Luke - Maybe some sort of media Producer or Photographer
Teddy - Idk! Nothing to go off yet lol
Jacob is my favorite 🥺 His laugh is so cute and he’s such a sweetheart
Me too he seems so sweet
i was not even SOMEWHAT as well-spoken in 2nd grade as parker is now. i’m not even sure i, a college student, am as well-spoken as parker *now* LOL
jacob was making me laugh so much! he’s so sensible and relatable!
Parker is the cutest, sweetest, most loving, caring and friendly kid I've ever seen. Seriously, he's so precious 💛
I’m one month younger than Bailey, and it’s so comforting to know that I’m not the only 13 year old girl that is not just about the modern day and trends! If I didn’t live on the other side of the country, I’m sure we would be great friends
I loved this chance to see Bailey's personality highlighted! She's so much like her mom
Side note Parker is beyond precious. He can co host any day. That was lovely
FINALLY TEDDY IS HERE i can’t wait to see another baby grow up
Love you guys
Jake is so funny. Like once he stops saying he’s kidding he’s going to be killer lol
“Yeah... I was six because the next birthday I had I was seven.” Can’t argue with that logic. 😂 cracked me up so much. Parker is so awesome.
I need someone to deliver these hospital bagels to me ASAP, the way Jake hyped them up here I feel like I'm missing out
i can sense a lit bit of shyness with Jacob but dang, he is still carrying that conversation with his Aunt.
Great episode!! It is SO lovely to see Colleen happy and laughing so much. She is so beautiful when she is genuinely laughing and smiling. (also, Erik is incredibly good-looking in this episode. Dang.)
Bailey is so funny and beautiful. So sweet and growing into her own! Their parents are chefs' kiss! Parenting gone so right.
Parker is so smart and is so well spoken. He’s going to be such a good dad when he grows up. He’s the sweetest kid omg 🥺
I'm 19 and have never seen a live birth. The Ballinger kids are very special
parker is so sweet and adorable. i just cant stop smiling with him
not the relationship between colleen and the kids making me wanna cry 🥺🥰
Parker looks sooooo much like Christopher!!! he does a mimic that Christopher does all the time when he talks about something he likes :D so sweet!
Parker seems like the sweetest kid!!
Bailey seems like the kindest soul!!
Jacob seems so creative and outgoing!!
There was so much happiness and I really loved this podcast!! So many smiles!! 🥰😊😄
Erik & Jake are so similar in their personalities, so sweet & quieter but hilarious. Love all you guys, the Ballinger family are just the best💛
There is something so special about Parker. I can’t wait to watch him grow up and be the beautiful joyful person he is🥺❤️
Omg I have always thought Bailey seems like she's in her own head thinking hard about things! And now she's old enough to really start expressing herself on an advanced level and we see how smart she really is. 💕
tell me why I started crying when bailey said you’ve always been my role model🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
I feel like a good word to describe Erik is nurturing. It encompasses his strength of character, his caretaking and his supportiveness.
If Jacob ever becomes a father: there must be bagels.
These kids are some of the sweetest, compassionate, most intelligent young people I’ve ever seen. I love seeing their close relationships with Colleen too 🥺
I love how sweet and humble Jacob is !
Colleen, watching your interaction with the kids is so beautiful to me. You’re such a great person overall. One of the reasons I’ve followed you for many years is because of how genuine and family oriented you are. You’re such a kind, strong soul. ❤️
This whole episode was just SO good and wholesome. I love seeing the kids like this. Please pull in a kid for cohost every now and again. 💕
I love the last question with the kids. You get to see their love languages and ugh. They just melt my heart
Fast forward and Colleen gets her surfboard as a push present from Erik lol
I loved the last question Colleen asked Parker 🤧🤧 like the hug song

I feel like Parker would be such a good Doctor/Nurse - he's so medically curious!
I agree. Or a midwife. In general I think he'll be better as a nurse. I'm sure he would be a skilled doctor as well but I think nurses in general have more continual contact with patients and he's so good with people!
I love Erik’s face in your thumbnail. The way he looks at Colleen. That’s love. Pure. Love,

Watching Parker talking I am trying to picture myself as an 8 year old and yea.. I would never have been so smart, calm and patient lol. Hes awesome!
Title should be “Parker’s Placenta Surprise” 😂 I was surprised to hear the word placenta a bazillion times 😂 But seriously…This is the sweetest podcast ever! 🤍
Jacob’s joke actually made me laugh out loud😂💀 I’m gonna use that one😂
"Mama don't talk to me i have to sleep now" I died laughing. 😂😂
