OUR STORY SO FAR:
We are Cory & Kristen Williams and in August 2014 we made the long drive from Southern California to Alaska to move into our new home in Eagle River. Here we’ve had the chance to explore Alaska, experience lots of wild events, meet lots of great people and endure the extreme temperatures that the north is known for. On December 23rd, 2014 we got engaged after our Polar Plunge under the Northern Lights then later married by our favorite lake on May 23rd, 2015. Then on June 23rd, 2016 we had our first child. A baby girl named Chell.

she looks like the perfect mix of both of you!
agreed!
tottaly!
That's exactly what I was thinking
that is what i was thinking.
Agreed!
Maybe you should try a white noise machine. When I was a baby I apparently fell asleep when my dad was vacuuming, so he set up my carrier on the stove and turned on the fan whenever they wanted me to nap. Apparently it works because it reminds babies of being in the womb.
He tried that when she was in the crib, using his phone.
Hinata Linn The only problem with that is a phone's speakers wouldn't really work as well. It's mostly the low bass sounds that are calming.
Hannah, we used the vacumn with our colicky premie and burned holes in our rug because we were so exhausted and fell asleep to the sound of the vacumn too!
I know you don't need any more advice, but I was just observing that the crib doesn't look cozy. Maybe a smaller bassinet with some body pillows up by her would help her feels like she was being held. Hope it gets better for you soon. As I recall it gets better after the first 3 months. Hang in there!
I find Chell to look like an amazing mix of both of you lol. There's no clearly defined "winner" Kristen's hair, Cory's nose and filtrum, Kristen's lips , Cory's eyes...just jumps back and forth! She's a beautiful baby :)
Infants this young aren't supposed to sleep through the night. They're supposed to wake several times for feedings every 2-3 hours. Their tiny tummies can't hold much so they have to nurse more frequently. Quit trying to make her sleep and ditch the books. Trust your own parenting instincts and learn your baby's cues for her different needs.
This, a thousand times!
lol I got lucky with my little man :) he's four months now and has slept through the night from day one!
+DudeLikeHella Hey Cory i think the reason she calms when you make that sound is cause it sounds like the womb have you tried to find womb sounds (Theres a few apps with wombs sounds) that may help her sleep when she gets grumpy. She's beautiful and looks like mommy and daddy :) she's going to be a little heart breaker when she gets older!
Yrah, that's what I'm actually trying to mimic. I did it in one of our other vlogs and it worked great.
+DudeLikeHELLA theres a app that has different sounds like womb, shower running, dryer, train ect could help see what works with her :) shes beautiful btw tou two make beautiful babies
I found a bear called Mamma bear that played sounds like the womb
For excellent instructions on calming a newborn, please visit Dr. Paul Thomas's UA-cam vlogs (paulthomasmd). He's a pediatrician who shares loads of information that will help every parent.
Thinking the same thing. Cory sounds like Mama's gut sounds when Chell was in the womb!
From Left to Right on the Thumbnail, Cory, then COMPLETELY MOMMY, then Daddy in the Last Pose!!!!! Daddy and Mommy are GLOWING! Awwwwww - THEY SAY TRUE LOVE CURES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has mama's nose with a little bit of dada's nostril shape. Dada's chin. Mama's hair. Mama's completion. Dada's ears mostly. Dada's cheek shape. Mama's eyes mostly, but Dada's shape around them (the folds and deepness around the nose and eyebrows). I can't wait to see her develop even more. Both of you two have very unique and beautiful features. It's lovely that she might have mama's eyes, and dada's happy smile (the cheek shape)!!! 💕💕
Complexion* :)
So true! She's like the perfect combo of them! She's going to be so beautiful! (Not that she isn't now!)
jeeeez u paid a lot of attention😂😁😜
Omg yes
I just love your videos baby chell is beautiful her eyes are like Mom rest like Cori a beautiful mix can't wait to see more of her growing up you both such fantastic parents love you all God bless! from Delhi Punita
She looks like her dad anyone agree
She sure has his nose and getting a long face like his. But she has moms eyes and ears and lips.
me
PUT THE BOOKS AWAY, and just trust in what your doing, babies will cry sometimes over nothing, I carried my oldest son around the house just about all day when he went through his fussy stage (maybe colic not sure), he (or should I say WE got through it), its a very difficult time for both parents and baby. My best advice, stop reading the books, they just drive you NUTS!!!!!!!!
Gotta agree about the books. Oh and Chell looks more like Kristen IMHO.
I think you've done all the reading you need to have done too - just go with your gut and trust yourselves. Write down a couple days worth of things if you are visual - what Kristen eats, when you fed her, when she had fussy time, etc. But, just trust yourselves - you are doing it right... the first couple months can be tough. I agree with Robin too that if you have to carry her around for a while (or whatever you find works), then that's what you do... remember: it's not forever.
I agree on that. I think it's gonna make them more frustrat what to do are they doing right thing. go with your gut.
You can read a million different books and they will all say different things. I swear half the time anything was wrong with my babies it was because they had bad gas and either needed to be burped or have gas drops.
SOOoo true. do YOUR thing now. dont let a book tell you how to raise your child. Books are great as guides when there are isues that you cant overcome, but generaly, i agree to the follow your instincts.
She's a good mix of mom and dad. Chell is so cute!!
On a side note: we use a white noise sound to help the kids go to sleep. They actually still use it at 5 and 3 because we live in a noisy area and it helps them stay asleep. When our oldest was one we struggled to get him to go to sleep and stay asleep. Introduced the white noise at 2 months old and it helped calm him enough to go down on his own.
You know, you can read every book out there, but there is only one Chell, and she is unique. I have 3 children, and I used parental instinct because not one behaved the same as the other. You are great parents!! By the way, my nickname is Chell.
In my opinion she looks like Kristen and Kristen is beautiful!! Also, she looks like Cory and I have a feeling that Chell is going to look like Kristen, but act like Cory.
The thing Cory did to calm down Chell, wow, that's awesome! I've never seen someone do that before, but it sure is funny. Whatever works works! ^_^
Oh and is it me, or is her acne getting better? :)
+Nicole Sterk It's definitely starting to clear up.
I think I see a bit more of Kristen. Those womb noises are hysterical. Someday Chell will appreciate that story! I know we only see a few minutes of your life each day, but it does kind of look like Chell is resisting the swaddle throughout this upload. Just keep doing what you are doing (switching things up) until you figure out what works best for you and baby. Also, maybe invest in some blackout curtains for her nursery so her body is able to produce melatonin during bedtime. I know it hardly ever gets dark up there!
In my opinion, Chell has daddy's face shape, mommies lips and nose, and daddies eyes, and mommies hair. On a side note, my 4 year old son was watching the video with me. When you started the zombie noises, he turned and clutched onto me saying "It's scary!" I thought that was so cute LOL.
Face is Kristen, nose is Corey's...cutie pie!
just get her a binkie!! it will make life so much easier!
Yes!!!! I said that weeks ago. It will soothe her and help her fall asleep...
Yes!! I said that too. They must be against Binkies. Binkies are lifesavers and they say as long as you break the babies from them around 18 months, it causes no dental damage. My kids and granddaughter were breastfed and it caused no "nipple confusion" either. I know all babies are different though.
I think little Chell needs a routine for sure, a paci and/or a swing or a MamaRoo. I also agree with the swaddling issue, she doesn't seem to care for it she seems to be frustrated - she may be one of those babies who really needs a pacifier for comfort. Good luck and remember, just because she's "supposed" to like something doesn't mean she will. Every baby is different! 😊
Cory, don't give up on getting Chell to sleep, every baby is different. it's probably more difficult in Alaska, sense the sun doesn't go down. Anyway, maybe try singing to her, or white noise, sense she likes the sounds you make, record them and see what she does. Best of luck, and Chell looks like Kristin. Victoria from cedar Rapids Iowa
Every baby is different, and you guys are going to figure it all out. You both are already doing really great! She seems to really like the "zombie growl", my son loved a little massage chair thing but my daughter hated it😳 lol!
Have you noticed that when Cory caresses her hair she calms down, but as soon as he removes his hand, she starts up again? I wonder if he continued to caress her hair if she would continue to be quiet. Kids are the most amazing puzzles in the world!
looks more like Kristen but I can see both of you perfectly blended together in her.
Bless your hearts. Welcome to parenthood. You are doing what everybody has to do--figure out what works best for you and your baby, and doing the best you can. Through many kids and grandkids, I can tell you each one is different and just when you think you've figured it out, they change it on you!! And have I seen some weird tricks--whatever it takes!! You are so right-it is hard. Hang in there. It will get better.
It's so true that what works for one baby won't work for another! Have you read up on the 4th trimester yet? So informative! I ditched the schedules with my last two, breastfed completely on demand (nursing to sleep pretty much every time), and bed shared to nurse at night. Most well rested babies of my bunch, and I've felt so much better! The newborn phase is rough. It'll feel easier around 3 months... and then the four month sleep regression sets in. It's all a journey!
She's a perfect hybrid of both mama and dada
Cory take off the GCI wristband. You don't want her to grow up too fast now do you?
I think you guys definitely did the right thing taking a few days off to look after Chell. Looking after a newborn is hard enough without having to work everyday too :)
"DaddaLikeHella!" You guys are great parents. She looks like Chell.
Penny peeing at 3:24 tho
XD
Ummm, so we all pee and it's no big deal. I don't see why it's funny
Really kiddo, lighten up a bit. Yes we all pee but Penny is just very cute ,whatever she does!
Ohmygosh she's so cute when he's kissing her feet. 😂
I love you guys. How honest your videos are. Most UA-camrs only show/talk about the good parts of a newborn. I'm due September 26th with a little boy and these help me a lot ! Gives me a good perspective. Keep it up, you guys are doing great !!
Cory, those weird womb voices you do haven't failed to calm her so far, which means that you already have something that works only for Chell!!
And I think that so far, she looks more like her mom than her dad, but than can change! Lost of love for that little one and her tired but happy parents!! XOXO
one word....PACIFIER
Chell looks like her daddy... for now. :)
I'd have to disagree. I think she looks like mama
Honestly, she is a perfect hybrid of both.
Gillian Paige I agree. She looks like Kristen.
me again. Providence peds nurse. Kirrsten keep waking her up so she doesn't use you as a soother and so she gets the hind milk which comes later with rich calorie fat milk which will keep her fuller for longer. The fore milk is hydrating and fullfills her thrist and give her the sweet part but she really neeeds a full hind milk to satisfy her longer. and it takes longer to process which requires sleep. nurse one breast fully then switch next feed. mom's put a cloth to remind which is which. I hope that helps.
Just think it's interesting how everyone sees something different :D I think she looks like her daddy mostly b/c of her nose and I dunno.. just overall look?
With my own kids... I always saw more of my husband's features in them, but most people always say that they look just like me. I think it's mostly b/c they have dark hair and eyes like I do but /shrugs lol
Chell looks most like grown up Cory :) My friend and my sister taught their babies sign language, you may want to consider that when she gets a little older. It is so cool to observe preverbal babies communicating with their parents on a much higher level than you would expect from such young humans.
She looks just like....her mom and dad! She's a little sweetie-pie. it's hard to believe that something that small can take over your lives, isn't it?
i once swaddled myself and it was very entertaining.
STOP SWADDLING!!! Some babies hate being confined.. Every time I see you swaddle her she starts fussing . Just saying.
be nice. no need to be so forceful. we only see a few minutes of there life and you don't know if she cry's every time or if they only show us a few hard moments. calm down and be kind.
You can't say that Chell could like being in a swaddle. They said she was overly tried so you should say that.
My oldest also hated being swaddled or confined in anyway. My middle child loved it and my youngest didn't seem to care either way. Every baby is different.
yeah my best friends sister had a baby and she said that he does not like being swaddled because its too tight fir the baby
Rita Karns agreed
Bless you all Mom,Dad,Chell and the Dog and Cats! Peace be yours.
You guys are doing great!!!!! She is going to love looking back at these videos of Cory making gurgling sounds!
Stop reading the books!! Go on your instincts!! No matter what you do her behavior will be whatever she wants! She is brand new and still learning what the heck this world is! All babies cry, she could have gas or 17 other things going on but all she needs is her mommy and daddy in about a month or maybe earlier things will start to calm down, she will have her own schedule, you guys will have your own schedule. Things will work out! But seriously books are not for every baby! Maybe it won't fit for yours!
I think you guys are doing awesome!
Mommys diet can cause her to be fussy....
Very true. I couldn't eat anything spicy, fatty or processed while breastfeeding. And perhaps Chell does not like to be swaddled so much? I see her lil legs moving a lot, she may not like being confined, like some do.
I agree. Some food culprits mom may eat that cause discomfort for baby are chocolate, onions, broccoli, cabbage, anything that cause gas in mommy
I was thinking the same
+FLBorn1 soda she drinks also
giuness beer's good for milk let down and warm showers
She is perfectly/insanely in between her dad and mom!
4:34 Ha! Love it. This won't last forever. I've had 5 boys, all different. Man, does time fly. Take lots of vids/pics.
she looks more like mom
but its hard to tell she looks like both
Corey's chin and nose and hairline and hair color (little darker though), not to mention his feet. Kristen's eye spacing and ears and forehead. All her own is her narrow head, wide eyes (but that may be because she's more alert), and dimples I think. She's a pretty good mix of them.
I was gonna said that to she does kinda look like both
but i think she got his nose
Based on the sounds, she might like the didgeridoo :)
Baby Chell is too cute! Maybe when you swaddle her, tuck her arms in a little tighter so she can't get her little arms out. Having the pressure can keep her calm, maybe calm enough to have a good nap. Good luck, you guys are great parents!
She's a mix of both of you. She's absolutely adorable!
Last comment, start a bedtime routine including a bath every night and complete lotion rub down then feed...
yep routines are the best way... in my opinion
great advice!! a bedtime routine is SO important to start as soon as you can - good luck 😉
definitely, we started a routine around 2 months. also take her outside during the day and dim the house at night to signal awake hours and sleep hours.
Yep, as I said in a previous comment - we started early with the bedtime routine and initially it was the 3 "B's" - Bath, Boob, Bed. Later we added the 4th "B" which was Book.
Try a lavender scented baby wash when doing the 3B's that will help her senses relax also
Oh I'm here early for once!
Me too this is weird! lol

I love seeing their videos. If I would have filmed my first month with baby the world would just see my awful crying and being too sleep deprived to move. You guys are doing great and will get the hang of it. Really any of our advice worked for our babies but it really may not help yours. I was told time and again not to cosleep or let the baby sleep in his swing...I did it anyway because it worked. He slept and we were happy for it. Best wishes!
Chell looks like the perfect blend of you both. She is so adorable. Life changes when we start having children. Cherish this time while Chell is young cuz one day you will be wondering where the time went and there will still be so much more that you wanted to do with her but life got in the way. Relish every moment.
her arms are supposed to be by her sides when you swaddle her otherwise it's useless
I just did what the pediatrician told us to do.
and he did, but sometimes the baby get their arms out. i think they know what to do with their own baby. aha
+DudeLikeHELLA good for you! thanks for letting us glimpse into your life and family. I love that your showing the real side of having a child.
+DudeLikeHELLA Cory, you do a great job of following the doctor's advice. But that was for her newborn self, right out of the confines of the womb. Watch her now when she is awake, she spreads her arms wide and also puts her long legs out. Babies that need to be swaddled tend to hold their arms tight against their body and pull their legs up toward their torso. We used to call my God child a little springer because when we pulled her arms straight to wash her, they would spring back as soon as we released them. Same with her feet. However, her baby brother stretched his arms and legs from the second he was born. Take cues from her.
+Rita Karns Amen!
PLEASE(!) do not give her a smartphone or something like that, when she is remotely bored. Let her be bored and get get creative on her own! Don't turn her into a Smartphone zombie by the age of 2... :/
She's just a newborn. I don't think giving her a phone would do anything. We don't plan on giving her a phone until she's WAY older.
+DudeLikeHELLA I know.. Im just sayin for the Future! Kids should be bored sometimes or i belive they never get kreative
this is such a silly comment haha
I really love that you are vlogging all the real moments of parenthood. I've learned a lot of pregnancy and newborns watching you so when I have a baby one day I will kinda know what to expect.
Our Mari really liked listening to The Civil Wars. Whenever she'd cry she'd stop almost immediately when the music started. Also, for breastfeeding, u could try undressing before feeding her so she doesn't stay too warm while feeding and that could help her stay awake.
how about a pacifier? Some babies just have a strong sucking urge even if they're not hungry.
We're not giving her one for a while. It helps with breast milk production.
+DudeLikeHELLA my baby never takes a pacifier. we actually let him suck on our finger and that would calm him down and even get him to sleep. perfectly breastfed baby too. also, vibrations helped with the fussiness in the beginning...and gas.
After 5 kids and not introducing the paci early, they never took it, until baby number 5... It never affected my supply.. It may be worth a shot..
And right now she looks like her dada 😀
+DudeLikeHELLA ... I did not use a paci either with my first, but for my sanity, you bet i used my pinky finger!! Pls try it! Mommas clean upside down pinky in her mouth really might help! It does get easier guys! 😘
It definitely gets easier. I'm going through teething right now but at least he gives me 6-8 hours of sleep at night.
try a few things.
- gripe water found in baby section.
-a warm shower with mommy or daddy
-humidifier with lavender oil
-white sounds
-try to leave off clothes just a diaper and a thin swaddling blanket also try a fan in her nursery
Hi! Just wanted to say that I've been enjoying watching your vlogs, particularly the baby ones. Your videos are very entertaining to watch. Keep it up!!
Oh, and I think Chell looks like her daddy.
i discovered your channel a few days ago and love it! You've got a new fan/follower. I really like your videos and Chell is adorable! I think she looks like both of you. A perfect mix of both of you. Lots of love from the Netherlands
Cory it's nice that your reading books in ways to help you out with chell, yes your gonna want all the advice and help you want on raising a baby, but remember theres no manual on how to raise a baby. It's all about learning from your own experience ... keep that in mind. :)
I work in a daycare with infants and I have to say seeing the baby cry and mom and dad just hold her still while she screams is stressful. Chell wasn't stuck in one spot inside of mom. She was tossed and turned and bounced and rocked. Hold her in the crook of your arm. Pat her back, bounce your arm up and down. A good rule to follow is if what you're doing doesn't calm her within 30 seconds, try somethibg else! Good luck Cory and Kristen!
She looks like a great combo of you both. So beautiful.
Make a recording of your voice noises you do when you hold her, and then make a looped recording and play that for Chell.
You guys will get it! It takes a while to get in the swing of things, finding out what works for her, for you. That's the joy of having a newborn. You are both doing a fantastic job. That baby girl has some of the best parents around! ❤️
Babies love to keep mama and dada on their toes lol....you'll work it out....Chell is learning about her parents too....keep doing what feels right, it usually is xx
She is so beautiful. I'm gonna have to say she's favoring her daddy a little though. And don't fret so much.....you're both doing a fantastic job. She may be sensing your stress and that could be where the fussy part is coming from. You're doing great....relax and just enjoy every day. It goes by so fast. One day I had a beautiful baby girl.....I blinked and now she's 26......(smile).
You guys are being amazing parents!! Be careful reading books though, because what works for one family (Person who wrote the book) may not work for the next family. Each baby is different. Your baby WILL let you know what she needs. If she is crying because she is hungry feed her, if she needs changed change her, if she simply needs cuddled then cuddle her. She is a newborn and you can not spoil a newborn no matter what a book says.
Take her to your chiropractor. Best thing I ever did with my son! He cried 24/7 and never slept for more that three hours at a time. Took him with me to my chiropractor appointment, he screamed the doctor said hand him over. He lightly adjusted him, we went home and he slept for NINE straight hours! It was amazing!
She looks like both of you blended perfectly into one. :D It's fascinating how well speaking womb to her works at calming her.
You guys are great parents! Chell is a lucky girl
To me she looks like a really perfect mix of you both!!! Your right she is a pretty little one.Bless her little heart!.x
lmao omg I love that when you make that noise Cory, she stops crying xD xD toooo funny. Also you and Kristen look a like and Chell looks different ahhaha! shes honestly a perfect mix of you both.
Perfect mix of both of you. It takes a bit but you guys are going to have this down before you know it. And Chell will figure it out too. XXOO
Oh yes and I think Chell looks like herself - beautiful x
She looks more like Momma , but She does have her Daddy's mini-me moments....She is Adorable and already growing so fast. You guys are doing great your both so relaxed with Her. Enjoy her babyhood because she will be grown before you know it
I think there is bits of the best of both. You will find over the next 24 months, you will look at her and say "Dad", then it will switch to "Mom"..you may even get "Gramma", " Grandpa", "Aunt So-N-So" and "Uncle What's- His-Name". Then she will become this wonderful little person, that is mostly Chelle......congrats to both.
I think she is a perfect mix of both!
I seriously love your videos and how real you show parenthood. Keep doing what you feel is best and I promise you'll get it.
Poor Bebe and poor parents! Everyday will be different with and for Chell. All that brain building is going on at a dizzying pace and effects her temperament. You are doing the best you can and it shows! She is alert and engaged with you and her area. Sing to her and play music. I don't know why but my son was totally into Motown at that age. I also added flamenco because I could dance with him and he liked that. Keep up the good work!
Every time I watch one of your videos with Chell, you leave a smile on my face. Thanks!
I've always thought children get the best bits of both parents. She is definitely a beautiful baby!
Guys, I say this with love- it's ok to nurse her to sleep. I never did any schedule with either of my babies, they just naturally fell into a routine where they wanted to eat and sleep approximately the same time of day every day. They always nursed to sleep and they slept well. My daughter is 2 and still prefers to nurse to sleep, BUT she CAN go to sleep without it and my son night weaned on his own right around her age, too. So even if a baby becomes attached to it doesn't mean they will always need to or that you will have to break them of it at any arbitrary age. Every child will eventually be ready to sleep through the night, wean, sleep in their own room, potty train etc no matter what you do or don't do, just like they eventually learn to crawl and walk. You'll figure it out with her. What works best for her and for you can't be found in a book, you just gotta figure it out as you go along.
Kudos to you guys for showing the tough part of caring for a newborn! You guys are awesome parents and keep up the good work!
We have a 4 month old and the DVD "Dunstan Baby language" was a lifesaver. Being able to distinguish between the hunger and burping cry was extremely helpful.
I breastfeed him on demand and he still wakes up once during the night to do a quick feeding and goes right back to sleep. It WILL get easier. Hitting the 2 month mark made all the difference too. No more belly aches.
To calm a fussy little one: Infant Massage. Good bonding activity, too. Plus, if you have any electronics on around her, try shutting them off. That super-high-pitched whistly noise they make might be messing with her brand new sense of hearing. P.S. Vote for Mom or vote for Dad? Neither. Chell's got a little Liza Minelli thing going on, especially the eyes! Maybe she's not screaming and crying: maybe she's singing "Cabaret".
I think Chell looks like herself! A beautiful mixture of both of you... I still think you should try a pacifier. Esp when she has trouble sleeping. Love and blessings to you all, Chris
I am not a parent, so all I can offer is general support. The best part is you have each other to rely on to help love and raise your daughter. That is still an awesome thing to say!
If Chell likes the sounds of the womb they make sound machines that make those noises that can help her calm down before she goes to bed. Also there is an app called Wonder Weeks that gives you great info on where your baby is through each mental leap. Since babies go through physical growth spurts it makes sense that they would go through mental leaps too. It's helped me a lot with my 8 month old. You can also get the book version of wonder weeks but the app can be customised to your child.
Your own home made white noise! Brilliant :) Both my kids loved the white noise machines and being held. You're both doing great!
you could do the napkin thing with Chell, it's this technique that you can look up that consists of gently passing the napkin over her face until she falls asleep.
She looks like a perfect mix of both of you!
Aw shes so adorbs! Deff looks more like momma! Im really curious as to how the light all the time is effecting her sleeping if really at all.
Chell is such a beautiful baby, she is a remarkable resemblance of..... BOTH of you parents!!! Way to go you two, you are doing marvelously! What a family!!! Just watching your vlogs make me all fuzzy and warm inside and I look forward to you posting (when you can) As a mother, having 4 children, it is a time when you DO need to adjust and just relax. I'm sure so many of your faithful fans (like me) understand when you simply have to reset your priories. Being first time parents or second and so on, is different every time, because each child will have a unique adventure for you. So happy for you dear family, God bless you and welcome to the most precious time of your life
I think she looks like both of you. Good on you for finding out what works for YOU. Keep positive and I'm so glad you are focusing on just getting things sorted.
You guys are doing an amazing job with her. I saw something on Facebook about 2 years ago or so: there is video on UA-cam about a woman who analyzed her infant's cries and could tell what her baby needed. She then helped friends with her method because she discovered the different cries are universal. It looked very interesting so when I had my second baby, I payed attention to his crying and he was less fussy and overall a happy baby (and let's face it, I was happy too)... also, trust your gut. Enjoy the baby moments nd cuddle as much as you can. Time flies too fast and they grow up so quick (I know, clichee :) )
You can see you both in her. At first I was like more like Kristen, then when your baby picture popped up you can see you in her too Perfect combo of both.
cory and Kristen
you kids had me worried,i was wondering if anything was wrong, so happy to see your Vlog. so hard to tell who Chell Marie looks like , a little of both I think, take care and thanks for sharing.
"Hey, whatever works, man."
You sound so chill, Kristen.
Corey if that noise you make calms Chell down, maybe record it and then you can play it in her room when she needs to sleep.
Also, she is a mix of both of you guys at the moment.
