We're talking about when or if Kristen is ready to be pregnant again and our daughter is just a month old. It's never too early to plan but it's also way too soon to have another baby.
Our 1st pregnancy was great but delivery and healing after....FORGET ABOUT IT. It was BAD. I said I would NEVER have another kids. Trust me when I say...I did NOT forget...but decided I didn't want the 1st to be alone. Thank God the 2n child was easy delivery, easy aftwords(2nd baby USUALLY much easier to deliver and heal)....and thank God he slept and ate very soon after he was born(unlike our 1st)...part of it is his personality and part was we knew what we were doing by then lol. They are 2 1/2 years apart. They are best friends. :) Love your videos. Hugs from Florida
Cory that was a GREAT statement, that you cant be forceful with a baby bc it wont work... i think theres to many people who do get mad when babies cry. you 2 are beautiful parents.. im so glad you are sharing this with us!
2:10 "We are past the hard parts of parenting..." Laughed so hard I almost peed myself. Love you guys, you are so sweet :D Talk to you in a year or two :D Or when Chell is in Highschool.
I'm really glad you're showing the realities of parenthood, like the fact that babies do actually cry and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. You're teaching me a lot. I'm 28 and my husband and I will probably have kids in a couple years... one of my best friends is pregnant and she's the first of my close friends to be having a kid so it's neat to learn what it's like.
I will say Amen to your comment, and a big thumbs up. and you know that the best part is, there is no F*** word in their vlog, no cursing swearing or drama, any kids can watch them.
Oh my gosh, you two are so cute with Chell!! The things you say to each other and about Chell show how much love is in your home. It's really beautiful to watch this love story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Awwww, the Daddy-Daughter dance! Cory - you are SUCH a great father! And Kristen, you are gorgeous and just GLOW with happiness - the very essence of motherhood 💜Congratulations to you both!! And Chell, my goodness, she is such a sweet little squirrel, isn't she? ;) What a beautiful family you have - thank you for bringing all of us along for the journey!
You two are simply the sweetest parents to your precious baby girl! Talking about her growing up and dancing with her at her wedding was so sweet and heartbreaking, haha! Love your channel! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Omg the bit at the end made me cry xx Our two eldest have flown the nest (22 & 20) and it was the hardest thing ever... We still have a 14 year old and a 4 year old at home but the thought of them all grown up and starting out on their own is just wow mind blowing xx I love they way you say getting cross with a baby doesn't help, your so right and I wish everyone realised that... You guys rock!!!
Oh my goodness! Watching these videos with Chell for the last month have been awesome!!! I have been getting my baby fix while waiting for my own little girl to arrive on Friday. Chell is such a beautiful baby girl!!!!!
Cory I so appreciated your heads up to new parents... your love for your family just pours through every single post. Happy one month birthday Miss Chell
this is when it starts getting good. Shes old enough that she'll start visually exploring the world soon. the best part for me was taking her around the yard and pointing at things telling her what they were. Even though she's not trying to speak yet, she still hears the words and starts associating them with what you point to. then when SHE starts pointing...and eventually starts talking...but yeah, this was my favorite time
LOL!!!...At the part where Chell was sleeping and Cory was laying her down I was getting ice and I was trying to be quiet so I wouldnt wake her up..hahahaha!
She really needs to be in a crib. Let her cry!!! It's so dangerous not to put her in a crib!! For me I wouldn't walk on egg shells around the baby. Baby has the parents around her fingers
+Donna Smith they are first time parents let them be. I don't see any danger in a baby sleeping in their parents room. as first time parents we all did it. I didn’t let my babies sleep alone till they were 1 full year. even now at age 14 & 9 yrs old they sneak in my room with pillows and air beds to camp out, and guess what I let them be. it's not the end of the world let the new parents enjoy their new addition.
I love how much you love Kristen, she is so beautiful. I've been following on your journey for quite a few years, and I can say, you've never looked happier.
When you made that comment about dancing with chell at her wedding.... Made me tear up a bit. My dad passed 5 years ago and I'm getting married in 2 weeks and I so so wish he could be there. The love you have for chell is amazing and I hope she always knows how much you love her
I started watching you shortly after I got married in 2008, now I have a beautiful 4 year old and am currently pregnant with twins. I love seeing your growth, and seeing you happily married with a sweet baby! You and Kristen are doing amazing with baby Chell, raising a baby can be quite discouraging at times but those precious moments with your little one make it all worth it!
I love watching your little family, specially with how involved Cory is. I'm a single momma and I remember those first few months quite well hahah but things just get better and better. Thanks for sharing with us!
Like so many others here, I've never pressed play on a video so fast! I loved the vlog today. I cracked up at Cory dancing on the walk and at the cats being in a dead sleep until a certain vlogger who shall remain nameless woke them up! *cough* Kristen, you look so beautiful and happy. I love the fact that you celebrated her one month birthday with two pieces of chocolate cake. Yummy in the tummy! ;) You guys always make my days with these vlogs and I want thank you for sharing your lives with us. Happy 1st month birthday Chell!
Cory and Kristen such a sweet vlog, it is so awesome that your mom is coming up for a week.hope you kids,have a great time together. every day is not perfect but you two make it so nice for Chell Marie she is a precious angel . take your time and enjoy each special moment. thanks for sharing. give BIG kisses and hugs from me.
Two kids sharing a bathroom is no sweat. Three or four sharing a bathroom is harder, but do-able. Beyond that, it gets a little crazy (just the scheduling thing). Things we tried that worked (intermittently well) for quieting a fussy baby - steamy showers, laying flat on her tummy across daddy's lap, and keeping her upright after feedings for at least half an hour. As always, YMMV. Y'all are doing great.
Both of you look great! Happy and well rested and having fun! Speaking as a big sis and as a seasoned aunt to over 10 nieces and nephews, the #1 tip I have ever found for calming crying babies is to stand up and do a very slow bounce- basically, bend your knees, straighten, bend your knees, straighten- not in one quick move but in two separate motions. No clue why it works but I haven't found a baby yet who hasn't calmed down after a moment or two of that. (Obviously not if they're crying for a specific reason, hunger, dirty diaper, etc. I'm talking about the grouchy unhappy crying with no discernable reason :) ) Standing up alone seems to calm them, (I read that it's because after all the months of pregnancy they're used to the slight motion as you stand and balance yourselves- sitting there's no motion) but once you add the slow bounce it's amazing! Try it! :)
Happy 1 month birthday Chell! Recovery from giving birth can be hard to forget if you have had a birth injury. I know I worried about going through it again when I found out I was pregnant with my youngest.
Nice video! If it's any consolation, the main job of parents is to grow a loved, intelligent, curious, loving, competent adult. You can never love, teach, help, encourage a child too much. Help them along the way and let them know that you always have their back. Good job guys! Such a sweet Bebe.
Just sitting here like she's my own little sister. like what. a whole month. that's crazy. I can still remember how anxious I sat waiting for the vlog. I can still remember the day she was born. I'm a little teary eyed. She's growing up so fast. I'm so proud of your beautiful family.
You could always put an addon to your house as well. From what it looks like from what I can see on the video you seem to have enough space on the end of your house. You could build an addon on the side and turn it into a master suite for you and Kristen and move Chell into your old room and then have another room for a nursery for baby #2. As for the additional space for the first floor it could either be a play room or storage for lawn and snow equipment to free up some space in your garage. Or whatever you want it to be, I'm just throwing ideas out there. In past blogs you had long term ideas for this house and the yard for when Chell got older.
So happy to see the rested and happy Kristen and Cory again! It's been a challenge that you've conquered quite gracefully! Atleast what we've seen. Happy Birthday Chell!
You are such a cute couple. Chell is going to watch all of these priceless videos, she has a wonderful gift in these vlogs to treasure with her mommy and daddy! Great parenting you two!! :)
The witching hours are SO hard! Requires more patience than you ever knew you had, meanwhile completely heartbreaking because there isn't a lot you can't do! Our 3rd will be 6 weeks on Tuesday and without jinxing myself, it does get better! Our little girl has reflux and started Zantac, plus has been slightly colicky, I feel your pain! We tell ourselves, we will never get today back so enjoy her as much as we possibly can, screaming at us and all!
Chell bell is so lucky to have two beautiful parents. May God bless you all, this video made me cry when Cory said he will dance like that with her at her wedding. What a lucky little girl. keep being great parents, love watching your videos... gives me motivation. ♡ from New York City.
Aww Happy 1 month birthday Chells! She is just too cute! And you guys are amazing parents, when I have my child/children I will also hopefully do it all natural. Especially with the food and such. But I can keep thinking about that for a long time because I'm only in Junior High.
You guys are so cute!! Happy one month birthday!! Don't think of her leaving, it goes by too fast!! make sure you soak up every single second you have with her while she is growing up and make sure you teach her love and respect then everything else will fall into place!!
My heart warmed up so quickly when Cory said that he'll be dancing like that with his daughter at her wedding! Cannot wait to see what life has in store for you guys. Truly amazing people.
You guys are an amazing couple and your daughter adds to your beautiful family , she looks like her daddy for sure . Your house is also beautiful , enjoy your baby girl while you can as they grow up with a blink of an eye , much love from the U,K.😊😊😊
I was just looking at your house pics again and if necessary you can add on to the back or mom and daughter can share a bathroom (maybe if its ok with Kristen). I don't know, just looking for a way for you to keep the house, it is so beautiful. And being your first home in Alaska its gotta mean so much. And I think the "bewitching hour" is just Chell exercising her lungs. All babies do it. And Cory has GOT to quit thinking about Chell leaving home. It will come around too fast, but you JUST got her, she is not leaving yet!!! Hindsight's always 20/20.
I hadn't noticed Kristen's eye having two colors until I started watching your baby vlogs. Seriously, her eyes are stunning! I'm always jealous of the multi colors - even if it's in one eye or both. Mine are simply blue. Not terrible, but not super interesting, either. Kristen's are awesome.
I love you guys...you're such great, calm, happy people and parents and it is such a joy to experience this whole journey with you. As i sit here typing, i'm watching my 3 year old in the monitor (yep, still have the monitor on him) waiting for him to go to bed...and...its 9:30pm. Wouldn't trade it for the world...
Once again, what a wonderful vlog! Thank you for sharing your lives with us! It's great to see that some of "our / youtubers" advice is being helpful to you, makes me feel like all the people who offered advice were heard. I can imagine it being difficult if baby keeps crying, and there's nothing you can do but be there. But I'm so happy to see you guys are happily adapting now. WHOOHOO!
Cory, I heard the music that was playing there. You dork! But I'm so happy to see how well Chells growing and, a month old already?! I can't believe it! Just seemed like yesterday. Good luck to you and Kristen with your little baby girl!
You finally found the hardest part about being a parent. To raise them and watch them as they grow then watch them leave and pray you've done everything in your power to know they will become wonderful adults! . Your doing a great job. Keep up the great work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lol... Your lawn has a mullet Kristen, you are gorgeous! I love your house, 2 bathrooms is plenty for now... Maybe after the next baby!? Cory, you are awesome to your lil fam... Your lil fam is so precious!
When I babysat I remember they always knew the difference of standing and sitting. I was good standing and rocking them but sitting oh the cry's. You guys are doing awesome figuring out what works for you. Keep up the awesome job
You 2 are such great parents. I remember those days so well. And I remember my Grandson Amos being that small. He's 2 now :) Please please keep vlogging!
+DudeLikeHELLA Oaky Cory, since you weren't playing Pokemon, I think you need to give us newbies a tutorial on how the game works. It looks like fun and I certainly need a fun way to exercise!
I'm 2 and half years younger than my brother and we grew up very nicely together! Thought of saying this because I think having too many years apart between brothers can interfere later on with the time you spend together. It doesn't mean it will be better or worse, but I grew up playing with my brother and I wouldn't change a thing about it! Guess that if he was much older than me it would have been very different because we wouldn't get to grow up together like we did. Having a brother is the best thing in the world! So please consider giving a brother or sister to Chell, I'm sure she'll thank you later on! But still, you have loads of time to think about it. I think 2 years it's a great gap of age between brothers, we still got along really nicely and we're not even from the same gender. We have a very special bond and I wouldn't change it for the world! :) You're amazing parents, and I'm glad you're getting more rest. Everything's going to be fine! Cheers, be safe! ^^
yes... i am 6 yrs apart from my twin brothers (11, i'm 17) and we get along terribly. it's hard to find (appropriate) stuff in common with a kid when you're almost a legal adult; add in being different genders? forget it
love your vlogs, you show what really happens. when most youtubers make it seem like peaches and cream. it really is helping me prepare because I am 4 months along in my pregnancy with my first child.
I love the thought of Kristen doing a house renovation! That would be fun to watch. But do you want to live in a construction zone with a baby? Yikes! Chell is beautiful, but it breaks my heart to hear her cry so hard. That must break your hearts too. Cory, your advice on not getting angry is so good. You are right, anger would just make the problem worse. Maybe the cats are extra sleepy because their baby sister is so loud! It was so good to see both of them. I love Sparta's pink tongue! I hope you have another wonderful night's sleep.
Cory if you guys have another baby and it's a little boy, what names do you have in mind? Also watching you with Chell is so heart warming, you're so good with her and it's so cute to see how much she loves her daddy and her mommy. Kristen is definitely a beautiful mommy, when she holds or feeds Chell she just radiates with beauty
Kristen is goooorgeous! I hope I can be like her when I become a mom and that I have someone like Cory to be by my side. You two seriously are parent/spouse goals
I had two siblings (older brother and older sister). I've shared a room with my sister since I was 18, with 5 people in the house with one bathroom. We did it fine!
Happy 1 month Birthday.. I hope the cake was good. Love the vlogs. Always make me smile and brighten my days. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life.
I am loving your videos and I remember those days and times now we are in the grandparent stage of life and I wouldn't change it for the world. I was wondering if she crys like that around the same time most days? It reminds me of when my daughter had colic and then at 3 months it just stopped but they were the hardest 3 months of having children. I tried everything the vacuum, laying her on the dryer but the only thing that helped was her dad had a specific way he held her along his hip and it took the gas pain off her belly. The hours of the crying was from 9pm to 3am. I don't want any baby to feel like that but it was very hard as a mother not being able to fix it. I thank you for sharing your life with everyone else.
Cory, the years really do fly by. Believe me. My first born just turned 18 and I still can't get my head around it. My only advice is cherish every moment, even the tough moments :))
My goodness, she is such a beautiful little girl. My little brother and I are 2 1/2 years apart (now almost 20 and 17) and we've shared a bathroom since we were toddlers. If either of us needs to use the bathroom and can't because the other one is in there, we use our parent's bathroom. But that rarely happens because of how/when we personally like to get ready (I like to be ready in advance, he's more last minute). Of course it will probably be different for little Miss Chell and any of her potential siblings, but you'll be fine. Things tend to work out in the end. ❤
If its gas pain or colic, you can use a warm wrap like a thin blanket or even a cloth diaper and wrap it around Chell's tummy when she does her nightly/daily crying. My son cried around 8pm everyday and would close his eyes tight and turning red, to indicate pain. His stomach also appeared tight when he cried. I ironed one of his receiving blankets (not too hot) and gently wrapped it around his tummy over his clothes. Somehow it helped relieve the gas pains and calmed him down. I got the tip from my mom.
Kristin, my second was so much easier. I knew more and having another one running around keeps you from fixating on every sound and need. The house is noisier and the baby totally handles it. So fun to have brothers or sisters as well.
In my experience, 3-5 years is the optimal age gap for kids, with the best being right in between at four. It gives them just enough distance they don't necessarily compete with each other, while being close enough in age that they can relate to each other when they get older.
We're talking about when or if Kristen is ready to be pregnant again and our daughter is just a month old. It's never too early to plan but it's also way too soon to have another baby.
by the time the other baby is born the baby and cell would be a good age apart
+Mary Kay Wagner it's not healthy for the mother to get pregnant so soon after birth. They may be a good age apart but it's not good for Kristen!
We're thinking about 2 to 3 years. That's pretty healthy right?
+DudeLikeHELLA my sister waited till her first was a year old to start trying. My niece and nephew are born two years and two days apart.
Our 1st pregnancy was great but delivery and healing after....FORGET ABOUT IT. It was BAD. I said I would NEVER have another kids. Trust me when I say...I did NOT forget...but decided I didn't want the 1st to be alone.

Kristen is definitely really beautiful! The way she smiles and closes her eyes is very cute!
I agree, she looks fantastic regardless of the fact that she just had a baby! She is a beautiful momma. :)
Yes, absolutely beautiful!
***** Their daughter's name is Chell.
+Erica Clark chell
The love Cory has for Kristen melts my heart. That is marriage goals right there. :)
Cory that was a GREAT statement, that you cant be forceful with a baby bc it wont work... i think theres to many people who do get mad when babies cry. you 2 are beautiful parents.. im so glad you are sharing this with us!
+
The forceful approach doesn't work on Alzheimer's patients either.
well to be honest i dont work with many people. ( esp me.. haha ) but you are right.
2:10 "We are past the hard parts of parenting..." Laughed so hard I almost peed myself. Love you guys, you are so sweet :D Talk to you in a year or two :D Or when Chell is in Highschool.
Kristen is so cheerful and beautiful! Chell is making her super duper happy! she is glowing I swear.
Not sure what pregnancy did to your wife but she's even more gorgeous. A natural beauty.
I'm really glad you're showing the realities of parenthood, like the fact that babies do actually cry and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. You're teaching me a lot. I'm 28 and my husband and I will probably have kids in a couple years... one of my best friends is pregnant and she's the first of my close friends to be having a kid so it's neat to learn what it's like.
If anyone ever wonders what true love looks like, just look at Cory and Kristen. That, my friends, is true love if I've ever seen it.
So true Cory literally just radiates love for his family it's so beautiful!
I will say Amen to your comment, and a big thumbs up. and you know that the best part is, there is no F*** word in their vlog, no cursing swearing or drama, any kids can watch them.
why
why
Totally agree with you!
Kristen has the happy and beautiful new mommy glow in this vlog! You guys look so happy ❤❤❤
You are 100% right Cory. Kristen is such a beautiful Momma. She just glows.
Oh my gosh, you two are so cute with Chell!! The things you say to each other and about Chell show how much love is in your home. It's really beautiful to watch this love story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

chell looks like a doll when she sleeps. you are amazing parents chell is a lucky girl to have you.
Can't wait to see your mom in upcoming Vlogs. I bet she is going to be so thrilled to see Chell. ❤
You guys seem like such good parents. Real proud of you guys! Been watching for a very long time!
Thanks! We're doing our best. :)

"I think we're past the hard part...of sleep". When she gets to be a teenager the sleeplessness comes back. 😆

Nice video! If it's any consolation, the main job of parents is to grow a loved, intelligent, curious, loving, competent adult. You can never love, teach, help, encourage a child too much. Help them along the way and let them know that you always have their back. Good job guys! Such a sweet Bebe.
Awww.... happy one month, Williams family! Loved this. Great to see dad doing silly walks to 80s music. And all the moments.

You could build an addon on the side and turn it into a master suite for you and Kristen and move Chell into your old room and then have another room for a nursery for baby #2.

Or whatever you want it to be, I'm just throwing ideas out there. In past blogs you had long term ideas for this house and the yard for when Chell got older.
So happy to see the rested and happy Kristen and Cory again! It's been a challenge that you've conquered quite gracefully! Atleast what we've seen. Happy Birthday Chell!

You guys are so cute!! Happy one month birthday!! Don't think of her leaving, it goes by too fast!! make sure you soak up every single second you have with her while she is growing up and make sure you teach her love and respect then everything else will fall into place!!
My heart warmed up so quickly when Cory said that he'll be dancing like that with his daughter at her wedding! Cannot wait to see what life has in store for you guys. Truly amazing people.
You guys are an amazing couple and your daughter adds to your beautiful family , she looks like her daddy for sure . Your house is also beautiful , enjoy your baby girl while you can as they grow up with a blink of an eye , much love from the U,K.😊😊😊
I was just looking at your house pics again and if necessary you can add on to the back or mom and daughter can share a bathroom (maybe if its ok with Kristen). I don't know, just looking for a way for you to keep the house, it is so beautiful. And being your first home in Alaska its gotta mean so much.
And I think the "bewitching hour" is just Chell exercising her lungs. All babies do it.
And Cory has GOT to quit thinking about Chell leaving home. It will come around too fast, but you JUST got her, she is not leaving yet!!!
Hindsight's always 20/20.
Precious moment with grand mama.
Kristen you have always been beautiful but my goodness you are a stunning mother. You are absolutely beaming x
You guys are doing so great, you both looks so happy with her.. she's such a little doll. 💕💕💕💕
I hadn't noticed Kristen's eye having two colors until I started watching your baby vlogs. Seriously, her eyes are stunning! I'm always jealous of the multi colors - even if it's in one eye or both. Mine are simply blue. Not terrible, but not super interesting, either. Kristen's are awesome.
I love you guys...you're such great, calm, happy people and parents and it is such a joy to experience this whole journey with you. As i sit here typing, i'm watching my 3 year old in the monitor (yep, still have the monitor on him) waiting for him to go to bed...and...its 9:30pm. Wouldn't trade it for the world...
Once again, what a wonderful vlog! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
It's great to see that some of "our / youtubers" advice is being helpful to you, makes me feel like all the people who offered advice were heard.
I can imagine it being difficult if baby keeps crying, and there's nothing you can do but be there. But I'm so happy to see you guys are happily adapting now. WHOOHOO!
Thanks! We do listen, even though we don't always respond.
Cory, I heard the music that was playing there. You dork! But I'm so happy to see how well Chells growing and, a month old already?! I can't believe it! Just seemed like yesterday. Good luck to you and Kristen with your little baby girl!
Kirsten you are looking so rested and great today . Sleep and being mum agrees with you x
Hands down. My fav family vlogger, lol. Cory is quirky, Kristen is so graceful.
She may have stomac pain ? Colic ? She seems pretty red when she cries. Happy Birthday Chell !
You finally found the hardest part about being a parent. To raise them and watch them as they grow then watch them leave and pray you've done everything in your power to know they will become wonderful adults! . Your doing a great job. Keep up the great work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm sorry but I'm crying. Such awesome parents. 💜💜
You are doing much better Cory and Kristen! Happy one month anaversry Chell :)
Lol... Your lawn has a mullet
Kristen, you are gorgeous! I love your house, 2 bathrooms is plenty for now... Maybe after the next baby!? Cory, you are awesome to your lil fam... Your lil fam is so precious!
When I babysat I remember they always knew the difference of standing and sitting. I was good standing and rocking them but sitting oh the cry's. You guys are doing awesome figuring out what works for you. Keep up the awesome job
You 2 are such great parents. I remember those days so well. And I remember my Grandson Amos being that small. He's 2 now :) Please please keep vlogging!
I love how you put funny little tidbits in the blogs it's awesome! Love seeing your amazing family ^^
Cory, admit it, you were totally saying Pokémon Go! Lol! Welcome to the club.
No, it was totally Twitter! * Shh! Don't blow my cover! *
+DudeLikeHELLA 7:15 lol XD
+DudeLikeHELLA lol
+DudeLikeHELLA Oaky Cory, since you weren't playing Pokemon, I think you need to give us newbies a tutorial on how the game works. It looks like fun and I certainly need a fun way to exercise!
Mentioning Pokemon go made me subscribe you
I really enjoy your videos. Happy Birthday Chell! you guys are doing a great job! 😊
If you love the house, own the house, you can always add on a room or two later. Happy Monthday Chell! Such a cutie!
I'm 2 and half years younger than my brother and we grew up very nicely together! Thought of saying this because I think having too many years apart between brothers can interfere later on with the time you spend together. It doesn't mean it will be better or worse, but I grew up playing with my brother and I wouldn't change a thing about it! Guess that if he was much older than me it would have been very different because we wouldn't get to grow up together like we did.
Having a brother is the best thing in the world! So please consider giving a brother or sister to Chell, I'm sure she'll thank you later on! But still, you have loads of time to think about it. I think 2 years it's a great gap of age between brothers, we still got along really nicely and we're not even from the same gender. We have a very special bond and I wouldn't change it for the world! :)
You're amazing parents, and I'm glad you're getting more rest. Everything's going to be fine! Cheers, be safe! ^^
yes... i am 6 yrs apart from my twin brothers (11, i'm 17) and we get along terribly. it's hard to find (appropriate) stuff in common with a kid when you're almost a legal adult; add in being different genders? forget it
love your vlogs, you show what really happens. when most youtubers make it seem like peaches and cream. it really is helping me prepare because I am 4 months along in my pregnancy with my first child.
I love the thought of Kristen doing a house renovation! That would be fun to watch. But do you want to live in a construction zone with a baby? Yikes! Chell is beautiful, but it breaks my heart to hear her cry so hard. That must break your hearts too. Cory, your advice on not getting angry is so good. You are right, anger would just make the problem worse. Maybe the cats are extra sleepy because their baby sister is so loud! It was so good to see both of them. I love Sparta's pink tongue! I hope you have another wonderful night's sleep.
Cory if you guys have another baby and it's a little boy, what names do you have in mind?
Also watching you with Chell is so heart warming, you're so good with her and it's so cute to see how much she loves her daddy and her mommy. Kristen is definitely a beautiful mommy, when she holds or feeds Chell she just radiates with beauty
Kristen is goooorgeous! I hope I can be like her when I become a mom and that I have someone like Cory to be by my side. You two seriously are parent/spouse goals
Happy 1 month Birthday Chell!
I had two siblings (older brother and older sister). I've shared a room with my sister since I was 18, with 5 people in the house with one bathroom. We did it fine!
You guys really are doing amazing! These rough times will pass, the years will fly by, but she will always be your baby girl.
Happy 1 month Birthday.. I hope the cake was good.
Love the vlogs. Always make me smile and brighten my days. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life.
I am loving your videos and I remember those days and times now we are in the grandparent stage of life and I wouldn't change it for the world. I was wondering if she crys like that around the same time most days? It reminds me of when my daughter had colic and then at 3 months it just stopped but they were the hardest 3 months of having children. I tried everything the vacuum, laying her on the dryer but the only thing that helped was her dad had a specific way he held her along his hip and it took the gas pain off her belly. The hours of the crying was from 9pm to 3am. I don't want any baby to feel like that but it was very hard as a mother not being able to fix it. I thank you for sharing your life with everyone else.
you guys are awesome! Chell is so beautiful, i cant believe shes already a month old! congrats!
You definitely need to have more so she can have siblings and so when you grow old and pass she has support and someone there for her.
Y'all so adorable together.
Cory, the years really do fly by. Believe me. My first born just turned 18 and I still can't get my head around it. My only advice is cherish every moment, even the tough moments :))
also kristen your so BEUTIFUL!!!! I love you guys!❤❤
My goodness, she is such a beautiful little girl.
My little brother and I are 2 1/2 years apart (now almost 20 and 17) and we've shared a bathroom since we were toddlers. If either of us needs to use the bathroom and can't because the other one is in there, we use our parent's bathroom. But that rarely happens because of how/when we personally like to get ready (I like to be ready in advance, he's more last minute).
Of course it will probably be different for little Miss Chell and any of her potential siblings, but you'll be fine. Things tend to work out in the end. ❤
She can hear your heart beat so that's soothing for her. My kids both did the same thing with my husband.
Chell is adorable!!
Every video she just gets more and more precious
If its gas pain or colic, you can use a warm wrap like a thin blanket or even a cloth diaper and wrap it around Chell's tummy when she does her nightly/daily crying. My son cried around 8pm everyday and would close his eyes tight and turning red, to indicate pain. His stomach also appeared tight when he cried. I ironed one of his receiving blankets (not too hot) and gently wrapped it around his tummy over his clothes. Somehow it helped relieve the gas pains and calmed him down. I got the tip from my mom.
I can't believe it's already been a month! It's gone so fast! Happy 1 month Birthday baby girl!
You three make me smile and happy! Thank you! I love you guys!
The Daddy-Daughter Dance melted my heart
Kristin, my second was so much easier. I knew more and having another one running around keeps you from fixating on every sound and need. The house is noisier and the baby totally handles it. So fun to have brothers or sisters as well.
I love your house , of course you can personalize it a bit but it looks great !
In my experience, 3-5 years is the optimal age gap for kids, with the best being right in between at four. It gives them just enough distance they don't necessarily compete with each other, while being close enough in age that they can relate to each other when they get older.
Congratulations for that beautiful baby!!
