We tried for 8 years for our son and when we decided to try again i was pregnant within a month and currently 24 weeks pregnant. Its amazing what can happen. Sending you lots of baby dust x
Remember that time you said you were pregnant and this wasn't going to be a "baby" channel?!? I'm SOOO glad you didn't stick to that. Jackson is adorable and seeing you guys become the amazing parents you are is awesome!!! Keep it up
Don’t let social media posts make u think that everyone else has it more together than u. Everyone just puts their best foot forward in posts. You guys are fabulous and fun and if you focused on being organized all the time, you wouldn’t be as free spirited as you are. Love you guys.
Yea most people just show "the neat section" of their house. I know when our hot water tank stopped working, we were just pushing stuff out of the way and covering stuff up before the workers got there. LOL. It's the basement, but we were still like, "hide the mess!"
As a new mom whose house is a wreck constantly, who is sleep deprived severely and just trying to make it and love my baby and husband, I appreciate the realness. Love your all’s channel.
Jackson is so full of energy at the moment he can't be bothered to answer questions. He just needs to move around and PLAY! And DO STUFF! Tim, if you haven't started singing "Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes" to him yet, it was a reliably big hit with my nephews. It's especially funny (for them) when you do it faster and faster until its ridiculous and then act all tired.
Love the honesty with showing us your house, no one has a perfect organized house and prayers and positive thoughts for baby #2, wonderful it happens but if it doesn't, you have a beautiful, smart and happy Jackson and love you share him with us...smiles
Dear Tim, Jen & Jackson Thank you for saving our 2020 and our lockdown currently in the uk, we love watching your videos and it really helps us get through our week with things that have happened due to the pandemic, love you guys so much and we would love to see you guys when we finally are able to go to Florida !
More lockdown love from the UK here. I never had kids so it’s been a privilege to see so much of Jackson’s story and development. Thank you for sharing it with us. Also, you can have a beautifully organised home or beautiful memories of making a mess with Jackson, but you can’t have both so don’t waste energy beating yourself up about it. x
We give the kids at daycare a blanket as soon as they are able to move it off of them or move about in the cribs usually around a year. Also it would be wonderful for Jackson’s fine motor development if you started encouraging him to feed himself. ❤️❤️
Thank you for being real. I loved the moment “don’t show the internet the hole in my socks” and the real life messy room. As for the infant car seat donate it, now. Many places will not take care seats due to recalls, accidents, and safety concerns so you might have to ask or find a person in need. The car seats have an expiration date and if you have another baby you will want a new seat. The expiration dates aren’t that long on the seats. You made me tear up letting us know you are thinking about another baby. Thanks for being real and sharing. Prayers and just know God is with you.
We love your videos, echoes how we wish we could live, visiting the parks, enjoying the delightful treats on offer! Instead, we are at home in the North East of England entertaining the little ones with a blue furred puppet that suffers at the hands of our sweet yet dominating 2yr old, and our youngest Ethan is about 4 months behind yours, so it's wonderful to watch him follow in Jacksons tiny footsteps! (climbing stairs now!! RhuRho!!) :D Love to all, stay safe x
I am a mother of 4. The last two were twins. I have always said if I had it to do it again I would have had one. I loved the alone time I got with my first born. We spent so much time together learning about life and discovering new things. When I had my second child that stopped. My oldest didn't understand why suddenly I couldn't do the age appropriate things I did before. Everything was about the "baby" I could never give the baby the attention and care I gave the oldest. They were wonderful babies. They are and have been best friends.Then I had the twins and life was just crazy. Covid won't last forever. You will be going out more and more. I think having an only child would have been wonderful. Just my opinion. You are wonderful parents. Whatever your decision your child/children will be very lucky to have you.
The last time I watched, Jackson was just learning to walk. Now he's *STOMPING* around the joint like he owns it. lol I have a lot of catching up to do. The world is moving fast.
One of the reasons why I love to follow your channel is BECAUSE you are both “real” and “genuine”. Keep it real, Tracker family! And I will hope and wish and pray for you to be blessed with another baby.
We all have not finished projects and excess clutter and whatnot! Don’t be too hard on yourself. We are praying for another precious baby for y’all! Having struggled with infertility with both my kiddos, I know it’s a hard road. Hopefully it’s much easier this time around.
I feel you. We literally are just getting organized not only are our kids finally old enough to play on their own but also funding. Kids do take up your time and your heart. Good thoughts are prayers for hopefully a beautiful happy and healthy future baby.
Your lack of organization is why you're so loved. It's called "real life." More people on social media need to embrace realness! You're the normal side of social media. That's why we love you!
He's over a year, I think he's fine. He can roll over, stand up and walk which means he has that much skill and strength but you do what you are comfortable with.
Love your honesty about your to-do list. I’m teaching from home full-time, because San Francisco is still in distance learning, with an 8 year old, 5 year old, and 14 month old home with me full-time, plus a dog and two cats, while my husband works outside the home for long hours - you can imagine my house! Ha!
Also since you have stairs at Jackson’s age it’s good to teach to go down stairs backwards. Never will fall going backwards Good luck. Don’t want him to fall
We gave blankets at a year because that’s when they were allowed to have them at daycare. But we also coslept some so he was using our comforter at around 6 months. He’s a very smart boy. I see you feed him most of the time when he’s on camera eating. Makes sense when you’re out but at home in the high a chair is this just to avoid a mess or do y’all ever just turn him loose? Turning them loose is messy but helps so much with fine motor skills. Those Instagram put together people spend a lot of time looking that out together lol. I have a sign in my house that says “excuse the mess, my family lives here” and I think that’s a great message. My house isn’t dirty but it has toys throughout and looks lived in. You’re normal lol. Ok I’m rambling but I’d love to see a 2nd tracker baby. Jackson will have so much fun with a sibling. It took us 4 years to get pregnant again after our first so mine are 4 1/2 years apart but they still play together well.
My family has lived in our house for 16 years, and we still find things all the time that we want to change!! Don’t think for one second you’re falling behind! You go at your own pace!!
My two year old (shes 26 months) still sleeps in her zipadeezip. We love it. We don’t feel comfortable with a blanket in her crib and this is perfect. My oldest slept in his until he got a big boy bed when he was 3. Also I think it helps prevent them from escaping out of their crib and climbing over. It’s a lifesaver!
I gave my kids blankets when they could roll and pull the blanket off if they need to. Currently my 9 month old sleep with a blanket and he sleeps 11 hours without waking up in the night. Both my kids hated being swaddled. They like to stretch out.
Same! My son hated being swaddled! Mine is also 9 months and sleeps with a light blanket. I’ve never worried, he’s seemed very aware since he was like 4 months and he’s pretty big for his age too.
Same my daughter is 9 months and she have her blanket when she was able to roll and sit herself, no problems, she knows to take it off with her feet and everything but she sleeps on her crib close to me just to feel better 😁
Can I be honest. I really appreciate these types of videos where you guys are real and this is the reason you are the only vloggers I watch (like as soon as you post a video). It’s nice to see people who are not perfect and don’t act like they are perfect. I have a 2 year old son and it’s just my husband and I so I feel I can really relate to your videos, it’s so hard juggling work, life, house and baby. So all in all thank you guys for everything you do and your awesome videos!
Also, (This comment is for not just Tim and Jenn, but for anyone....) My husband and I recently started trying. I discovered I have fertility issues, but am getting treatment, and something I do each month we’re not successful is buy a small gift for myself and my future baby. It’s has REALLY kept my spirits up and excited! 🤞❤️
Don't know how its possible but Jackson gets cuter every day ! I'd get the zippered onesy with hands free. At 14 months he uses his hands. Amazed how well he eats. Very adventurous with real food. Good job mom and dad.
Thank you for sharing your "messy" spare bedroom. We ALL have a space like this in our homes that we all try to hide! And I don't know what you guys are talking about - your organization has grown and developed so much over the years! Go back and watch an old video from 2013. Your garage used to be such a mess! (I'm not judging... so is mine!) Hope you guys have a magical day!
So happy that you guys are trying for another baby! We have been trying for a year and a half with many failed fertility procedures. We have talked about adoption and went through some training, but haven't done much since then. We're still staying positive that we will be blessed with one someday. We'll keep you guys in our prayers and sending positive vibes your way!
I admire that you're willing to show the reality of lives of UA-camrs. Most people dont realize that we only see what you guys wish us to see for privacy reasons and that not everything is glamorous. I was going to recommend maybe if you dont want to rent a storage container that you put in a small shed for the baby items you may use again but hearing about the Hoa that might not be feasible. I do hope you have luck having another baby when you're ready.
Positive thoughts for all of you! We'll know when Jen is pregnant when she either 1) stops going on the park visits with Tim or 2) stops eating seafood at any of her favorite restaurants
When & if you do start trying, I highly recommend the Ava bracelet. We were having trouble conceiving baby #2 & it worked for us! Baby Natasha is now 8 months old. Yay! Love you guys. ❤️
Every stage is different and when you are working and raising kids that is the busiest part. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Enjoy every minute of your “messy” life. We are about 25 to 30 years ahead of you - life is less busy but we remember the chaos of raising kids fondly .
More babies babyyyy!! I am sending good vibes and all the positivity, I know how hard fertility or lack of can be so don’t get discouraged bc it’s all in due timing! I could see Tim being an awesome girl dad and of course Jenn you are always the best mom! I have a 6 month old son who loves watching y’all too, Tim’s voice is strangely soothing to him? I am putting it out in the universe for y’all to have another! Always remember no matter what happens you have Jackson and he is such a fun blessing! Love to the three of y’all from Chattanooga!
Keep ALL the baby stuff!! You never know! 😁 Be sure to ride all the attractions and do everything you want while you can!!!! Take care and hope Tim gets rested lol!! 🤣
When in doubt check the American Academy of Pediatrics for info! Blankets are not safe in a crib but are safe once baby is in a toddler bed. Also most cribs have a safe maximum height of 35” for babies so once Jackson is 35” tall he should be moved to a toddler bed (or even the crib mattress on the floor, as long as his room is safely childproofed!)
You could always invest in a shed for the back yard, if the HOA approves of it, to hold stuff you don't use often or are holding onto for a future baby and keep what you use often in the garage so the shelves aren't so heavy and everything can be organized
Disclaimer I don’t know if this is correct but our pediatrician gave us the okay: I gave my son a blanket when he learned how to rip it off his face. We would play peek a boo every night and teach him how. I would say about 12 months old we let him sleep with one small light baby blanket.
I gave my daughter a blanket when she was able to turn and sit by herself, also she have a good sleep a she do the peek a boo as well. She is 9 months and no problem 😊 thanks God!!
Honestly guys, most people’s houses are like that but they don’t show it!!! I have a 2.5 year old son and organizing is sooo hard because he always follows me and takes everything apart lol! I just keep reminding myself that it is just a season of life!
You guys are the most "normal" youtubers..ur down to earth and can be VERY relatable. thats why your my favorite ppl on here..keep being you guys..and good luck with trying !!!!!!
Keep all the big things for babies. We waited 4 years to have our second but now we have all the big stuff we need. We are due in March. Way more cost effective. We double checked that nothing got recalled before pulling it out.
I don’t trust anyone who acts like every part of their life is perfect and organized, especially on social media! You know they have all their mess shoved under the bed or in a closet like most of us. That is why you guys are so loved You are real and relatable. I feel like you guys are my favorite next door neighbors.
Tim, suggestion for the garage shelving I use with wire rack shelves. Get enough sections of 1X4 wood to span the length of the wall. Find the studs in the wall a secure the 1 x 4 to the studs at the height you want using wood screws long enough to go into the studs. Get some plastic straps to fasten the wire rack to the 1 x 4 as needed. I do about a foot on the straps. Position you down supports so they align to the studs and fasten with wood screws long enough to go in the stud. If you want to be fancy you can paint the 1 X 4s the same dark grey as the garage walls. It will hold what you need.
Real life! Nice knowing my house is not the only one! I think it is great that you are trying for another baby. My older son shares Jackson’s birthday (just years earlier) and when he was 13 1/2 months old- exactly Jackson’s age right now- we decided that we would “start” trying. Our younger son was born 9 months later in October.
As an answer to your blanket question all 3 of my kids have had blankets since day one. We use only the breathable muslin until they’re able to take the blanket off their face efficiently (usually around 6ish months) and then from there we use a thin fuzzy blanket because we keep the house pretty cold at night time. None of them have ever liked swaddling.
I totally feel you! I had a daughter. Saved everything in case we had another. Got pregnant and had a boy. So now we have so much stuff and I don't even know how to handle it!
I just LOVE your videos! My son is 17 months old and he sleeps with a thin swaddle blanket every night and has since he was born and he has never had any issues. We went from swaddling him with it to a normal blanket at about 5 months and since 12 months he lays down puts his arms up and waits to get tucked in with it. The swaddle blankets we have are breathable and very thin which made me feel more comfortable! I also still have most of my sons baby items with the same thoughts that I may need it one day in the future lol my house looks the same as yours! Glad im not alone!
You guys could look up the concept of Hygge. It’s the Danish way to live well. The main idea of hygge decor is to create a peaceful, serene space that is free of clutter. But even with clutter, as long as your house feels peaceful and serene then you’re onto a good thing 🙂
We moved in to our house 10 years ago...had babies and all home improvements came to a screeching halt. I used to be really hard on myself about everything being a mess. Then made peace with it. The reason I couldn’t keep up was because I was being a mom and choosing to take care of my kids...go for the walk, take them to the pool, softball practice, to grandma’s, out to get ice creams cones. It’s the stuff of life and much more important than anything else. Starting my home projects up again now that they aren’t babies anymore, except now they can help! ❤️ to you all and thanks for sharing your lives with us.
A simple way to improve the strength of the garage shelves is to use suspension to support the front edge. Redo the wall anchors, then use lag bolts in the roof joists and some galvanized steel wire running to the top shelf and each next shelf. Wires on each end and in the middle would be fairly cheap, simple to install, and not too obstructive. Good luck with the projects!
This video was great! Jenn, your dinner looked better than the picture did. Knowing and seeing that your lives are just like ours, makes us feel better. That's why you are so loved by so many.
My wife and I are kinda in the same boat as you guys when it comes to not being to overly organized and still doing things around the house. I built our house before my i met my wife and that was back in 2009, and as of current 2021 we still need to put a doorknob in one of the doors for the bathroom, seal our wood floors, put molding round the rest of the top wall and update the bathroom and laundry room, so you are not alone when it comes to home repairs/updates. As for organizing, why be normal and do that? Being a little disorganized never hurt anybody ;-) and my wife remembers reading in one of her college articles for class that "messy, not organized people or desks/living spaces shows how smart/creative someone is ." She can't remember off hand who she is quoting but it is true.
It’s a zippadeezip wearable swaddle. They are great! They are meant to curb the “Moro” reflex (that little jerking thing babies do when falling asleep which of course wakes them up!) They sleep just fine in them! What may not be comfortable for adults is comforting and comfortable for babies!
Jenn that good that your showing us the house but we not perfect but if you have a another baby god bless you if that comes thanks for everything 💟💟💟💝💝💝
We use muslin and crocheted blankets for our boys. The younger in got blankets around 6-9 months but they were crocheted with holes. He hated blanket sleepers. The older one is attached to his muslin blankets even still at 3 years old. He’s had them in bed with him since around a year old. There’s no safe way to have a blanket but try during nap to see how he does with one in there. My kids kick blankets off within the first 30 mins of sleeping and they always have them down by their feet.
`I agree. More home vlogs please!!!! Take one room at a time and organize, paint, arrange the room, and you will get there. No one's homes are perfect. I loved the way you all fixed up and did so much work on your first home. You can do that to this one too. I hope that you can have another baby. I think Jackson will be a great big brother. I would not get rid of any of the baby items. Especially since your going to try to have another child. Get organizing things to be able to store the baby items away until you need them.
Let Jenn ride Hagrid’s before she is pregnant again! Maybe you can do a whole video about Jenn’s FUN day at the parks??
Such a good video idea!
Get her an N95 so she doesn't have to stress in the line.
Love this! I was going to comment the same about Hagrid's!
We tried for 8 years for our son and when we decided to try again i was pregnant within a month and currently 24 weeks pregnant. Its amazing what can happen. Sending you lots of baby dust x
Jen, NOBODY's life is perfect. Most vloggers filter what they put out, and the parts you don't see are the chaos, which is NORMAL!!!
YES!!!!!♥️
Yes! This is so normal even though ppl don’t talk about it.
Remember that time you said you were pregnant and this wasn't going to be a "baby" channel?!? I'm SOOO glad you didn't stick to that. Jackson is adorable and seeing you guys become the amazing parents you are is awesome!!! Keep it up
I thought of that too. How he was not going to be shown alot. So glad that didnt happen. I love seeing Jaxson
Don’t let social media posts make u think that everyone else has it more together than u. Everyone just puts their best foot forward in posts. You guys are fabulous and fun and if you focused on being organized all the time, you wouldn’t be as free spirited as you are. Love you guys.
Keepin’ real. Most people’s life is like that.
Yea most people just show "the neat section" of their house. I know when our hot water tank stopped working, we were just pushing stuff out of the way and covering stuff up before the workers got there. LOL. It's the basement, but we were still like, "hide the mess!"
I love how you guys are normal! Most everyone has that one room where it’s just chaos.
totally love the way Tim looks at Jenn there is so much love he has for her and Jackson its so heart warming to see they make great parents xxx
My wife and I have decided not to have children. We’ll tell our kids after dinner tonight.
🤣 Everytime I hear this kind of joke, it's just as funny as the first time. Thank you for that!
Ding Dang! I knew there was something I was going to tell my kids,. Now 47, 45, & 41. Is it too late? 🤣
I congratulate you and commiserate your kids for this decision 😂
😂😂
Oh my God I’m all by myself and I just burst out laughing like a lunatic!!!
Oh thank god. You’re normal like us. A “storage” room. Yes keep stuff until you’re sure you’re done having kids.
Yeah Cant wait
As a new mom whose house is a wreck constantly, who is sleep deprived severely and just trying to make it and love my baby and husband, I appreciate the realness. Love your all’s channel.
Jackson is so full of energy at the moment he can't be bothered to answer questions. He just needs to move around and PLAY! And DO STUFF! Tim, if you haven't started singing "Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes" to him yet, it was a reliably big hit with my nephews. It's especially funny (for them) when you do it faster and faster until its ridiculous and then act all tired.
Love the honesty with showing us your house, no one has a perfect organized house and prayers and positive thoughts for baby #2, wonderful it happens but if it doesn't, you have a beautiful, smart and happy Jackson and love you share him with us...smiles
I enjoyed that you shared you chaos, it just shows your “normal” people. Sending prayers your way in hopes of a sibling for Jackson.
I saw trying for another baby and SLAPPED the like button so fast, sending you baby dust, good vibes and lots of love from Oahu ✨
I did too lol
Me too
Tim made me crack up when he said "my parents still didn't give me a blanket" LOLLL
Yeah haha
I hope he gets a little sister ❤️
Me too👍 and then we can find out the name😀
Pretty sure Tim is totally overwhelmed lol. I recognize that look. It's the same look my hubby gets when I start rattling off the "honey do" list.
Yeah tim is totally overwhelmed
Omg imagine Jackson having a little baby brother or sister 😍😍😍 Cuteness overload!!!
I would love for him to have a little sister 😊
Me too
I think she’s pregnant 🤰🏼 idk why but I do, maybe the doctor comment in previous video or the comments in this video. I hope so 🙏🏻💕👶🏻
@@kbeck2 i have this gut feeling also i dont know why
But then at the end they said they’re going to be seeing doctors to try, so maybe she’s not yet 🤷🏼♀️ either way I wish them all the best.
Dear Tim, Jen & Jackson
Thank you for saving our 2020 and our lockdown currently in the uk, we love watching your videos and it really helps us get through our week with things that have happened due to the pandemic, love you guys so much and we would love to see you guys when we finally are able to go to Florida !
I second this, being in the UK has definitely been a bit rubbish and the videos help get me through and also help plan my honeymoon In Disney
I agree we are from the UK and love sitting down each morning and watching a new vlog!!😊
Another lockdown inmate from UK. Have to agree 👍Trackers have been a huge part of our lockdown and we can't wait to be over in October 🤞
More lockdown love from the UK here.
I never had kids so it’s been a privilege to see so much of Jackson’s story and development. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Also, you can have a beautifully organised home or beautiful memories of making a mess with Jackson, but you can’t have both so don’t waste energy beating yourself up about it. x
Guys, I saved baby stuff for 7 years. And finally gave up. I donated what I could and 3 weeks later I was pregnant! Lol!
That's life ,baybee.
When will Bandit get his halo?
We give the kids at daycare a blanket as soon as they are able to move it off of them or move about in the cribs usually around a year.
Also it would be wonderful for Jackson’s fine motor development if you started encouraging him to feed himself.
❤️❤️
I agree with the feeding, I let my boys start feeding themselves around 8 months.
Idea, turn Bandits blankets into cushion covers. So you have a happy reminder or memory
So sweet 🥰
Trying for another baby? 😭😭 Sending all the love and positive vibes
I died laughing when you were talking about how much Jackson likes the pasta and he spit it out. Perfect timing! 🤣
Thank you for being real. I loved the moment “don’t show the internet the hole in my socks” and the real life messy room.
As for the infant car seat donate it, now. Many places will not take care seats due to recalls, accidents, and safety concerns so you might have to ask or find a person in need. The car seats have an expiration date and if you have another baby you will want a new seat. The expiration dates aren’t that long on the seats.
You made me tear up letting us know you are thinking about another baby. Thanks for being real and sharing. Prayers and just know God is with you.
We love your videos, echoes how we wish we could live, visiting the parks, enjoying the delightful treats on offer! Instead, we are at home in the North East of England entertaining the little ones with a blue furred puppet that suffers at the hands of our sweet yet dominating 2yr old, and our youngest Ethan is about 4 months behind yours, so it's wonderful to watch him follow in Jacksons tiny footsteps! (climbing stairs now!! RhuRho!!) :D Love to all, stay safe x
There is literally NOTHING in the world that will lift your spirits faster than a toddler's laugh!
I am a mother of 4. The last two were twins. I have always said if I had it to do it again I would have had one. I loved the alone time I got with my first born. We spent so much time together learning about life and discovering new things. When I had my second child that stopped. My oldest didn't understand why suddenly I couldn't do the age appropriate things I did before. Everything was about the "baby" I could never give the baby the attention and care I gave the oldest.

One of the reasons why I love to follow your channel is BECAUSE you are both “real” and “genuine”. Keep it real, Tracker family!
And I will hope and wish and pray for you to be blessed with another baby.
The way Tim responds with “Right” just hits different
We all have not finished projects and excess clutter and whatnot! Don’t be too hard on yourself. We are praying for another precious baby for y’all! Having struggled with infertility with both my kiddos, I know it’s a hard road. Hopefully it’s much easier this time around.
Jackson didn't cry when you sang "Home Vlog" but my chihuahua lost it when he heard it lol
Awww, how cute!
I feel you. We literally are just getting organized not only are our kids finally old enough to play on their own but also funding. Kids do take up your time and your heart. Good thoughts are prayers for hopefully a beautiful happy and healthy future baby.
You should find someone that can turn Bandit’s blankets into a teddy bear, for Jackson! I had one done for my late pup, and I adore it! ☺️
Your lack of organization is why you're so loved. It's called "real life." More people on social media need to embrace realness! You're the normal side of social media. That's why we love you!
I had a dream that y’all were having another baby! And then y’all posted this 😱 I pray that God blesses y’all with another sweet little one ❤️
That's so funny because before they announced their first pregnancy I had a dream about them having a baby too
He's over a year, I think he's fine. He can roll over, stand up and walk which means he has that much skill and strength but you do what you are comfortable with.
Love your honesty about your to-do list. I’m teaching from home full-time, because San Francisco is still in distance learning, with an 8 year old, 5 year old, and 14 month old home with me full-time, plus a dog and two cats, while my husband works outside the home for long hours - you can imagine my house!

This has been my favorite vlog so far this year. I love home DIY! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
My family has lived in our house for 16 years, and we still find things all the time that we want to change!! Don’t think for one second you’re falling behind! You go at your own pace!!

Can I be honest. I really appreciate these types of videos where you guys are real and this is the reason you are the only vloggers I watch (like as soon as you post a video). It’s nice to see people who are not perfect and don’t act like they are perfect. I have a 2 year old son and it’s just my husband and I so I feel I can really relate to your videos, it’s so hard juggling work, life, house and baby. So all in all thank you guys for everything you do and your awesome videos!
Also, (This comment is for not just Tim and Jenn, but for anyone....) My husband and I recently started trying. I discovered I have fertility issues, but am getting treatment, and something I do each month we’re not successful is buy a small gift for myself and my future baby. It’s has REALLY kept my spirits up and excited! 🤞❤️
Don't know how its possible but Jackson gets cuter every day ! I'd get the zippered onesy with hands free. At 14 months he uses his hands. Amazed how well he eats. Very adventurous with real food. Good job mom and dad.
Thank you for sharing your "messy" spare bedroom. We ALL have a space like this in our homes that we all try to hide! And I don't know what you guys are talking about - your organization has grown and developed so much over the years! Go back and watch an old video from 2013. Your garage used to be such a mess! (I'm not judging... so is mine!) Hope you guys have a magical day!
Same! Husband painted mailbox wrong shade of beige...HOA good times!
Omg another baby? Yes! Y’all are amazing parents
So happy that you guys are trying for another baby! We have been trying for a year and a half with many failed fertility procedures. We have talked about adoption and went through some training, but haven't done much since then. We're still staying positive that we will be blessed with one someday. We'll keep you guys in our prayers and sending positive vibes your way!
Jackson is so big. I remember when he was able to role over on his own and now he's walking. Sending positive vibes for you to have another baby.💕
I admire that you're willing to show the reality of lives of UA-camrs. Most people dont realize that we only see what you guys wish us to see for privacy reasons and that not everything is glamorous. I was going to recommend maybe if you dont want to rent a storage container that you put in a small shed for the baby items you may use again but hearing about the Hoa that might not be feasible. I do hope you have luck having another baby when you're ready.
Positive thoughts for all of you! We'll know when Jen is pregnant when she either 1) stops going on the park visits with Tim or 2) stops eating seafood at any of her favorite restaurants
When & if you do start trying, I highly recommend the Ava bracelet. We were having trouble conceiving baby #2 & it worked for us! Baby Natasha is now 8 months old. Yay! Love you guys. ❤️
8:42 crack up of the day. Love the baby babies. His receptive vocabulary is on point. Nice!
Every stage is different and when you are working and raising kids that is the busiest part. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Enjoy every minute of your “messy” life. We are about 25 to 30 years ahead of you - life is less busy but we remember the chaos of raising kids fondly .
Trying for another baby, how wonderful! Sending lots of pixie dust your way. I'm sure Jackson would love to be a big brother.💙💙
More babies babyyyy!! I am sending good vibes and all the positivity, I know how hard fertility or lack of can be so don’t get discouraged bc it’s all in due timing! I could see Tim being an awesome girl dad and of course Jenn you are always the best mom! I have a 6 month old son who loves watching y’all too, Tim’s voice is strangely soothing to him? I am putting it out in the universe for y’all to have another! Always remember no matter what happens you have Jackson and he is such a fun blessing! Love to the three of y’all from Chattanooga!
Keep ALL the baby stuff!! You never know! 😁 Be sure to ride all the attractions and do everything you want while you can!!!! Take care and hope Tim gets rested lol!! 🤣
When in doubt check the American Academy of Pediatrics for info! Blankets are not safe in a crib but are safe once baby is in a toddler bed. Also most cribs have a safe maximum height of 35” for babies so once Jackson is 35” tall he should be moved to a toddler bed (or even the crib mattress on the floor, as long as his room is safely childproofed!)
You could always invest in a shed for the back yard, if the HOA approves of it, to hold stuff you don't use often or are holding onto for a future baby and keep what you use often in the garage so the shelves aren't so heavy and everything can be organized
Disclaimer I don’t know if this is correct but our pediatrician gave us the okay: I gave my son a blanket when he learned how to rip it off his face. We would play peek a boo every night and teach him how. I would say about 12 months old we let him sleep with one small light baby blanket.
I gave my daughter a blanket when she was able to turn and sit by herself, also she have a good sleep a she do the peek a boo as well. She is 9 months and no problem 😊 thanks God!!
Don't do the blanket until you feel that he is ready mother knows best.
Honestly guys, most people’s houses are like that but they don’t show it!!! I have a 2.5 year old son and organizing is sooo hard because he always follows me and takes everything apart lol! I just keep reminding myself that it is just a season of life!
Jens cooking game is on point 👌 all these 9 years of watching you guys. Thanks for the great videos all these years
You guys are the most "normal" youtubers..ur down to earth and can be VERY relatable. thats why your my favorite ppl on here..keep being you guys..and good luck with trying !!!!!!
That pig is hilarious... our pig coins fell super fast, and brought prosperity! Maybe piggy will bring Jackson a sibling🥳
Keep all the big things for babies. We waited 4 years to have our second but now we have all the big stuff we need. We are due in March. Way more cost effective. We double checked that nothing got recalled before pulling it out.
Congratulations 🥰
I don’t trust anyone who acts like every part of their life is perfect and organized, especially on social media! You know they have all their mess shoved under the bed or in a closet like most of us. That is why you guys are so loved You are real and relatable. I feel like you guys are my favorite next door neighbors.
Monica's secret closet on Friends.
@@dlphnlvr25 yes!
I love that you’re showing you’re real people just like all of us. I hate seeing people who have their shit together cause you know they’re lying
I can understand why Tim feels tired at the end. All the tasks listed are ones he has to do.
Tim, suggestion for the garage shelving I use with wire rack shelves. Get enough sections of 1X4 wood to span the length of the wall. Find the studs in the wall a secure the 1 x 4 to the studs at the height you want using wood screws long enough to go into the studs. Get some plastic straps to fasten the wire rack to the 1 x 4 as needed. I do about a foot on the straps. Position you down supports so they align to the studs and fasten with wood screws long enough to go in the stud. If you want to be fancy you can paint the 1 X 4s the same dark grey as the garage walls. It will hold what you need.
What a smart little guy! You can see that you both spend a lot of time with Jackson. So wonderful!! Love you guys
Real life! Nice knowing my house is not the only one!
I think it is great that you are trying for another baby. My older son shares Jackson’s birthday (just years earlier) and when he was 13 1/2 months old- exactly Jackson’s age right now- we decided that we would “start” trying. Our younger son was born 9 months later in October.
Your house is beautiful, don’t be so hard on yourself. Happy your trying for another baby! Your blessed either way❤️. Take care👋🏽😊
As an answer to your blanket question all 3 of my kids have had blankets since day one. We use only the breathable muslin until they’re able to take the blanket off their face efficiently (usually around 6ish months) and then from there we use a thin fuzzy blanket because we keep the house pretty cold at night time. None of them have ever liked swaddling.
I totally feel you! I had a daughter. Saved everything in case we had another. Got pregnant and had a boy. So now we have so much stuff and I don't even know how to handle it!
I just LOVE your videos! My son is 17 months old and he sleeps with a thin swaddle blanket every night and has since he was born and he has never had any issues. We went from swaddling him with it to a normal blanket at about 5 months and since 12 months he lays down puts his arms up and waits to get tucked in with it. The swaddle blankets we have are breathable and very thin which made me feel more comfortable! I also still have most of my sons baby items with the same thoughts that I may need it one day in the future lol my house looks the same as yours! Glad im not alone!
We’ve been in our house for 10 years and only last year did we paint the walls. It happens!!
We’ve been in our house for 3 years and have only painted our youngest daughter’s nursery lol
You guys could look up the concept of Hygge. It’s the Danish way to live well. The main idea of hygge decor is to create a peaceful, serene space that is free of clutter. But even with clutter, as long as your house feels peaceful and serene then you’re onto a good thing 🙂
Those shelves above your car give me anxiety.
We moved in to our house 10 years ago...had babies and all home improvements came to a screeching halt. I used to be really hard on myself about everything being a mess. Then made peace with it. The reason I couldn’t keep up was because I was being a mom and choosing to take care of my kids...go for the walk, take them to the pool, softball practice, to grandma’s, out to get ice creams cones. It’s the stuff of life and much more important than anything else. Starting my home projects up again now that they aren’t babies anymore, except now they can help! ❤️ to you all and thanks for sharing your lives with us.
🙏🏼 for a new pregnancy!!! How wonderful!! That’s so exciting, you guys are awesome parents!!♥️🙏🏼
A simple way to improve the strength of the garage shelves is to use suspension to support the front edge. Redo the wall anchors, then use lag bolts in the roof joists and some galvanized steel wire running to the top shelf and each next shelf. Wires on each end and in the middle would be fairly cheap, simple to install, and not too obstructive. Good luck with the projects!
When my husband says we need to clean the bathroom he always means me 🤷♀️
This video was great! Jenn, your dinner looked better than the picture did. Knowing and seeing that your lives are just like ours, makes us feel better. That's why you are so loved by so many.
I just said to hubby that the "spacing" talk may be soon for you guys. Sending positive thoughts!! ❤
My wife and I are kinda in the same boat as you guys when it comes to not being to overly organized and still doing things around the house. I built our house before my i met my wife and that was back in 2009, and as of current 2021 we still need to put a doorknob in one of the doors for the bathroom, seal our wood floors, put molding round the rest of the top wall and update the bathroom and laundry room, so you are not alone when it comes to home repairs/updates.
As for organizing, why be normal and do that? Being a little disorganized never hurt anybody ;-) and my wife remembers reading in one of her college articles for class that "messy, not organized people or desks/living spaces shows how smart/creative someone is ." She can't remember off hand who she is quoting but it is true.
I think Jackson loves Christmas but loves blueberries more 😂
Same about the garlic and same about the time it takes to make hello fresh lol
The world needs Princess Tracker! Sending all the positive vibes! 💕
It’s a zippadeezip wearable swaddle. They are great! They are meant to curb the “Moro” reflex (that little jerking thing babies do when falling asleep which of course wakes them up!) They sleep just fine in them! What may not be comfortable for adults is comforting and comfortable for babies!
Welcome to being a parent 😂😂 The chaos will grow with each kid you add too 🤣🤣
Jenn that good that your showing us the house but we not perfect but if you have a another baby god bless you if that comes thanks for everything 💟💟💟💝💝💝
“We have too much stuff.” 😂 I say that at least once a day.
We use muslin and crocheted blankets for our boys. The younger in got blankets around 6-9 months but they were crocheted with holes. He hated blanket sleepers. The older one is attached to his muslin blankets even still at 3 years old. He’s had them in bed with him since around a year old. There’s no safe way to have a blanket but try during nap to see how he does with one in there. My kids kick blankets off within the first 30 mins of sleeping and they always have them down by their feet.
The world needs another tracker! sending all of the love from a keyworker in the UK! :)
`I agree. More home vlogs please!!!! Take one room at a time and organize, paint, arrange the room, and you will get there. No one's homes are perfect. I loved the way you all fixed up and did so much work on your first home. You can do that to this one too. I hope that you can have another baby. I think Jackson will be a great big brother. I would not get rid of any of the baby items. Especially since your going to try to have another child. Get organizing things to be able to store the baby items away until you need them.
