She does look great. Don't feel bad, I looked and kinda still look like a zombie with my little one and a teenager now. Katie has Cullen at home full time too and he's an awesome hubby and I'm sure he gives her time to get ready and recharge. My hubs is always out the door to work before my little one wakes up so its all on me and then I have to work too. Zombie life, haha
Catherine Rahman This week alone I wore my hair in a messy bun to work and I hadn't even brushed through it properly beforehand. that zombie life tho! LOL
I love the lazy day vlogs where you just chill at home as much as the busy ones! Hope MG feels better soon and doesn't get worse (and share it with everyone at home). She is adorable as ever - love the Hotdigitty Dog song and dance. Those moves are almost as good as your zumba ones, Cullen! Katie - you look fantastic these days! Having 2 kids agrees with you. :) xoxox Heather
I've definitely noticed a little growth spurt in Mr Brooks the past week, especially within his facial features & overal 'chunkiness' (Ooo nothing sweeter than seeing a baby getting chunky!) Hes such a little poppet :) It's not abnormal at all for little ones around the age of 2-3 to go to a play group or nursery (daycare) for a few mornings or afternoons a week for all the reasons you mentioned (I worked in nursery's / daycares for a number of years). It was wonderful to watch some of the shyer ones come out of their shells, grow, learn, socialise, & excitedly run to parents with tales of the day, artwork in hand :) Gaines will love it. x
Love that you sing and dance with her that way! So sweet! The program you're sending her to sounds great! She will love that!! I'm a teacher for children her age and its a great experience for them!!
I started watching y'all right before baby Brooks was born and I have to watch everyday now. I love your family! I absolutely adore the way y'all have made a tradition out of dancing when unloading the dishwasher. It's without a doubt the cutest thing I've ever seen and has made my day. God bless❤️
Oh no!!! The links for the previous years Vlogs aren't listed!! I watch today's Vlog and then go back and watch all the past 5 years Vlogs! Now I feel like my morning is off!! Any way you could link them Cullen? Please?
She always looks great, how does she keep everything immaculate with four animals, and two babies. She must vacuum and wash her floors constantly. She's amazing.
Baby Brooks is so content! My girl is 6 weeks old and we are in the throes of colic! Makes me a little sad watching him. If my girl is not asleep or nursing she's crying. Keeping my sanity by reminding myself that it doesn't last forever.
for my nephews colic my sister used the bouncy chair thing. he lived in it. and I'm not sure what you are trying for sleeping but maybe a rock n play b/c they don't lie flat in that. also there are gas drops not sure if they helps with colic though. just ideas, I know it was torture with my nephew!
+KariAnn Kirk My girl loves her swing. We swaddle her and put her in her swing and turn on the vacuum. That is the only trick we have found so far, which is the harder part of colic, because I can't make it better. I feel like my baby hates me. In the last 4 weeks, I haven't been able to hold her awake and her not cry. It's so heartbreaking. I realize how bad it is when I watch Brooks. My baby girl has never laid down and been content like he is. I may have to stop watching for awhile. 😥
Even though my computer was being crappy, I thoroughly enjoyed today's vlog. I was reminded of why I love your family. You guys are hilarious, and super homey. I feel all warm inside when you have those fun family moments. Like I loved the whole dish/cups dancing thing. And when Gaines was singing "hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog"(thats so fun to type) and Cullen said "louder", Gaines was all of a sudden like "HOT DOG HOT DOG HOT DIGGITY DOG"
I am LOVING these moments you have been filming lately. I cracked up the whole video where you were teaching MG about not interrupting and then I called my husband in to watch the video haha...now this Hot Diggity Dog dance...you guys are too cute!
I hope yall don't feel like you have to justify sending Gaines to a mother's morning out program! She needs to learn to play with others, make friends and be in a structured environment. Good for yall!
But if anyone DID have a problem then I AGREE with u 100% and you're right..they shouldn't have to explain themselves why she is going to preschool.. smh.
There were a lot of comments for yesterday's vlogs asking how she could be going to "preschool" if she's not 2 yet, let alone 3 which is how old the prerequisite is, I guess. I think that is where Katie was coming from with her comment about it. I agree - no need to justify or explain your decision to enrol her in a program. I think it will be great for her and she'll make some little friends. It will warm your heart when you one day show up at the end of the day and she's sitting there playing with her new friend(s).
Wow! Brooks really is chubbing up fast! Gaines looked like an infant for months and months. Gaines really takes after Katie in the petite dept and looks like brooks is all Cullen
Cullen, if i made an intro for you.. Could i send it to you? You dont have to use it, but i want you to see it... Is there any way i could send it to you?
They have their email in the description box. I know they have told people before to just email it to them. I have seen them use intro's that people have made before so they might use yours! That would be really neat for you!
Katie, can you do a video on your channel explaining the schedule you are doing with Brooks? My son is 2 weeks old and I'd love to implement something as well!
Aloha from Hawaii! I love watching your vlogs! My husband and I are expecting our first baby after 2 1/2 years of trying and I love watching your Journey to Baby vlogs to help me get thru this pregnancy 😊 thank you for sharing your adorable family and lives with us 💛
Brooks did look like "I'm in this crazy, happy family." Lol, he has noooo idea! He does love to ponder though. I'm in love with this baby, no doubt about it. It is hook, line, and sinker with this beautiful boy. Never too much camera time with the kids, remember that!
I hate when these UA-cam vloggers have to justify everything to everyone, I'd be so sick of defending myself because of the trolls, negative comments are so pointless. no one needs to justify their actions unless it's something endangering themselves or others. otherwise, let them be!
When I was 2 my parents already has be signed up for k3 because spots filled up quickly. So now I'm in highschool and I've had at least 1 to 2 more years more schooling on my record then other kids.. It's helped me especially because I have adhd so the structure set early on my life REALLY did help me for later in school.
I think soon you should teach MG to just call him Brooks. You guys say Baby Brooks to her and it causes her to say it too. Eventually he will start telling people his name is Baby Brooks haha!☺️ it's cute but I don't want him to think his name really is Baby☺️
^^^ But also MG calling Brooks 'Baby Brooks' teaches kids early in life who's older and who's younger so the constant reminder that MJ is older then Baby Brooks is actually good. Soon enough she'll just be calling him Brooks but for right now it's good and okay.
+Kaley Barfield I agree..plus by the time Brooks starts talking she probably won't call him that all the time. My little step sister was always little Jordan or baby Jordan and she knew that her name was Jordan just fine. I'm sure MG knows and has called him brooks it's just not filmed. She will most likely call him whichever name her parents want and possibly a nickname as she gets older (most siblings have nicknames etc.).
Actually she was referred to as "The Baby" until she was almost 6 lol but never thought it was her name. I forgot ..why... lol because we haven't called her that in so many years and she's 16 now so they will be okay.
That sounds like fun for MG! I live in Maine and I have a 1 and 3 year old. my 3 year old is going to preschool 2 days a week from 8:30 to 12:30 and my daughter is doing a home program once a week for 2 hours and over other week we go to the same preschool as my son in another room for all of the kids in the 2 year old program for 2 hours. Most kids around my area start with 2 days a week for about 4 hours at age 3. Then the schools have a prek for 4 year olds that are full day, 2 days a week.
when i got pregnant with my 3rd, we just decided that the dogs (we had two) would just be walked when we could and with one parent while the other stayed at hoe with the kids. but our chocolate lab passed away two days before our 3rd was born :( but either way, it would be difficult
katie never looks tired.. i was like a zombie when i had my babies!
She does look great. Don't feel bad, I looked and kinda still look like a zombie with my little one and a teenager now. Katie has Cullen at home full time too and he's an awesome hubby and I'm sure he gives her time to get ready and recharge. My hubs is always out the door to work before my little one wakes up so its all on me and then I have to work too. Zombie life, haha
+What Jean Likes Vlogs sure is a zombie life sometimes no time to even brush your hair or get dressed!! 😊
I'm a zombie and I'm still pregnant lol. but I also have a 1 and 2 year old lol
Catherine Rahman This week alone I wore my hair in a messy bun to work and I hadn't even brushed through it properly beforehand. that zombie life tho! LOL
Gaines is gonna love the mommys day out preschool one day a week thing. It's going to be great, she's going to learn so much and have such a blast
I love these early uploads! ❤️
Me too! :)
+Marissa and Chris same
Me too

Brooks eyes looks like they are brightening up. Brooks and MG are growing up so fast!
Cullen you do very good impressions on Mickey Mouse and the rest of them 😃
Lol thats what I thought
I was thinking this also!
yeah he really does!
I agree it was really good
Seriously good! haha

I just love your family, you are such great parents with adorable precious kids! Katie you are still glowing

I am loving these early vlogs
Happy Birthday Brooks!!! 1 Month Old!!! Love You Guys!!! Take Care!!
Baby Brooks is so content! My girl is 6 weeks old and we are in the throes of colic! Makes me a little sad watching him. If my girl is not asleep or nursing she's crying. Keeping my sanity by reminding myself that it doesn't last forever.
I'm going thru the same. 😔
Try a probiotic!

+Caley Rae I'll ask my pediatrician about that! Thank you!

I think Brooks looks so much like Cullen. Him and Gaines are beautiful children with wonderful parents. God bless y'all 😚
Katie looks AMAZING!!!! I guess I haven't seen a full body shot of her since she had Brooks. Girl has a rockin body for 4 weeks postpartum!
Not gonna lie, I got an it emotional watching Gaines get her hair cut! It looks so good on her! ❤️
Brookes is so precious
*Brooks*
That was the cutest family time ever! Hope my family is as amazing as you guys are one day!
Doug is three months now and he still does that fetal position kind of smoosh thing when you pick him up. I love it
Brooks face has totally changed this past couple of day, he's growing up fast the little sweetie x
I know! A month already!
+Frances Walton and same with Finn with daily bumps. His little blonde curls are coming in, he's walking, and Bryan said he said Bye bye.
Finn is so cute, can wait for the next dbejck-vacay :D Suppose it will be a winter one next :D
ya'll are such great parents!!! I absolutely love watching all of your precious moments :) I hope to have a family like ya'lls one day for sure!
I hope yall don't feel like you have to justify sending Gaines to a mother's morning out program! She needs to learn to play with others, make friends and be in a structured environment. Good for yall!
Maybe it was for anyone who was confused as to how or why she was going to school already. They probably thought real school..just my guess lol.
But if anyone DID have a problem then I AGREE with u 100% and you're right..they shouldn't have to explain themselves why she is going to preschool.. smh.
OR why**

Where's the links to the other vlogs in the description?
so cute and adorable how you guys spent time with Massey
Loving the early uploads
Katie, you are doing fabulous for just having baby #2. You are looking skinny and tan! 👌🏼 it settles my nerves for the new baby.
You guys are such wonderful parents!
Wow! Brooks really is chubbing up fast! Gaines looked like an infant for months and months. Gaines really takes after Katie in the petite dept and looks like brooks is all Cullen
I love watching you guys everyday
Love the Mickey impression Cullen 😂 who thinks baby Brooks is cuter everyday? Love the vlog.
Ah Katie I am just still so happy you got your VBAC ❤️❤️❤️

I love the Lindquist as well!

I love the beginning its so cute
Cullen, if i made an intro for you.. Could i send it to you? You dont have to use it, but i want you to see it... Is there any way i could send it to you?

Yes omg 😂😂
Katie, can you do a video on your channel explaining the schedule you are doing with Brooks? My son is 2 weeks old and I'd love to implement something as well!
Hotdog, hotdog, hot diggity dog.... and now it's stuck in my head! Oh, the things you do for you kids😂.
I will be singing this the rest of the day!
This song has yet to not be stuck in my head!
We sing that to our baby girl too 😂 it's addicting.
my mom loves that song 😂😂
ive had that stuck in my head for weeks
Brooks is so big! His face is plumper and he just looks older. Good job guys👏🏻
I'm in the same boat with you guys and the 20 minute shows I have started putting movies on instead of the tv shows and it helps with your sanity!
Brooks is growing so fast!
Omg baby Brooks looks so different and older !! But still cute as ever
Aloha from Hawaii! I love watching your vlogs! My husband and I are expecting our first baby after 2 1/2 years of trying and I love watching your Journey to Baby vlogs to help me get thru this pregnancy 😊 thank you for sharing your adorable family and lives with us 💛

Brooks did look like "I'm in this crazy, happy family." Lol, he has noooo idea! He does love to ponder though. I'm in love with this baby, no doubt about it. It is hook, line, and sinker with this beautiful boy. Never too much camera time with the kids, remember that!
katie, that new baby jelly bean scrunch was my absolute favorite thing with my babies too...oh how I miss that!
I love today's vlog
My two youngest went to full day preschool at 3 five days a week..it's good for them it also teaches good social skills❤️
I love the intro and the song to good work Cullen :-)
I hate when these UA-cam vloggers have to justify everything to everyone, I'd be so sick of defending myself because of the trolls, negative comments are so pointless. no one needs to justify their actions unless it's something endangering themselves or others. otherwise, let them be!

It's helped me especially because I have adhd so the structure set early on my life REALLY did help me for later in school.
I noticed a difference in Brooks just by what I saw in the thumbnail! He's changing already!
Your family is so cute +Cullen and Katie

EARLY VLOG!! Woo hoo!
I love you guys and your kids are so cute!!
Baby Brooks is getting cuter and cuter!! ;)
Family goals

I think soon you should teach MG to just call him Brooks. You guys say Baby Brooks to her and it causes her to say it too. Eventually he will start telling people his name is Baby Brooks haha!☺️ it's cute but I don't want him to think his name really is Baby☺️

'I don't want'.. It's not your life. You can't make those decisions!!! Idiot.
My daughter is 3.5 and I still call her Baby Girl, and she still knows her name ;)
Cullen's mickey mouse voice is way too good. i was waiting for the clubhouse music to come on lol
7 hours?!!! Que the celebration parade Katie!! That's great!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗
That sounds like fun for MG!

wow. gaines eats alot for her age. how did you and katie get her to become a good eater?
So waited all day for this vlog.
I really love this intro 😍 keep it
the hot dog dance was so darn adorable
Who sings along to the intro
when i got pregnant with my 3rd, we just decided that the dogs (we had two) would just be walked when we could and with one parent while the other stayed at hoe with the kids. but our chocolate lab passed away two days before our 3rd was born :( but either way, it would be difficult
Congratulations on how long baby Brooks slept!!! You have to do what is right for you :):) MG is just so darling!!!
