Guys! This was so NOT a fail! We got to see Neo try to consume the camera, you two got separate naps, your first out to dinner! This was a delightful winner!
This was NOT a fail! Loved every moment! Leo is such a little doll! Enjoy every moment - they are grown before you turn around twice. At 57 and looking back to when my back yard was full of neighborhood kids playing kick ball and hide and seek and coming in for snack and drinks and a movie - it all feels like it was yesterday and a million years ago at the same time. Please try to enjoy all the little moments! ❤🙌🏻🎄
I was going to say the exact same thing. Mine are 25 and 26 now both married and it seems like the blink of an eye since the sleepless nights 😢 Just soak it up guys and enjoy every moment before he's grown and flown the nest ❤
Knowing yourself and knowing when to refresh is SO important! Don't feel like you've got to push yourselves to make content for us. We like you guys regardless of what you do.
If you wrap the keyboard he will be very happy opening it on christmas day. I wrapped up many of my children's own toys for their first Christmases. Family kept giving us too many toys etc and there was no need to buy more. 😂
Raya reading to Neo and him not being interested is so relatable. My 13m old does not care for keeping still reading all she’s on the move all the time 😂
My childhood wasn't the best....my psychologist said to reparent myself. I never had kids....so i can only watch perfect parents like yourselves and imagine that i am Neo 💞 What a beautiful life he has with your love and compassionate ways❤ Wishing you both a bit more sleep!!
Try to tell yourself every day that you're proud of yourself. I valued my parents telling me they were proud of me way more than "I love you" (although that was nice too). I tell my kids every day that I am proud of X about them (when they try hard, when they are kind, when they do something thoughtful, when they are proud of themselves). It's such a big thing that good parents do. Be proud of yourself and tell yourself that whenever you can! Have a lovely Christmas. xx
I am so glad that you guys decided to take it easier because you felt like it was needed! Also, remember that it is perfectly okay to skip a day or have a shorter video sometimes because vlogmas can be a lot. The content is still so amazing 🖤This absolutely wasn't a fail because it's so important to take care of yourselves 🖤
I look forward to the vlogmas every day! I love watching you especially the late night laughs during the advent calendar surprises. I find myself laughing out loud with you both! Thank you for sharing your lives and beautiful family with us!
You both have a lot of first times since Neo was born. Its going to be exciting seeing things through his eyes and life. Nothing wrong with having R&R days especially when you have a baby because as we all know that are parents, our lives revolves around our kids. Great video ❤
This was a great chill vlogmis day! You can do this everyday and it would be good!!! Its ok to take your your chill days as needed! Watching Neo wanting to "vlog" too made my morning! ❤❤❤
I think today has been one of the best days ever. I've enjoyed the other days, but I'm glad you gave all three of you a break to relax. As far as raising babies, I think you find what works best for you and your little one. I've never thought a stringent bedtime works for everyone. It has to work for all three of you. Otherwise, you are just swimming against the current. Louis, I do think you can tell by 7 months if he is a lefty or a right-hander. I loved seeing both of my kids just knowing which hand worked for them. You guys are doing fantastic! I truly love your channel.
Honestly I liked this better than an eventful vlog... We are watching family content now bc we love it, not Live the Adventure content bc we have gotten older too lol!!!
pretty cool would be to give him books for his age he can play with and manipulate, maybe they have for christmas ones!? LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSSSSS you really make my day!!!!!!!!!
I was 18 when I started watching Louis . Caught him when he was doing the daily vlogs ,watched everyday, and I didn't have a kid then either. I now have a 6yrold and it's so awesome to see y'all daily vlogging w y'all's little one. Btw I'm 28 now 😂. We old
Real life videos- absolutely perfect - love how you find and share these restaurants you find - also note to parent from a grandma - well rested -fed and comfy babies can flex their schedules from time to time and go out with mummy and daddy for dinner -yes Rays it is all consuming as a new parent especially however I can say it was absolutely best time (until grand babies came along) who knew it could get even better
I am remembering why I always loved the daily vlogs so much. Not just the positive mindset but also the chill vibes and especially the music choices. I loved this vlog just as much as the others.
Ahhhh you guys made me so happy answering my question that I asked in vlogmas 4! The question was the one about parenthood I am an expecting mom and you guys have made me feel so much better, thank you 💕
Don’t put pressure on yourself’s, any of your contents will be great to watch, your great people enjoy and chill out yourself… we will watch whatever you put up…
I keep meaning to say - I love the animation in the beginning. Baby Neo looks so cute lol One of my nieces is left-handed, and if i remember right, they all knew when she was a baby. So, you might be right about that, Louis ❤
I am enjoying your Vlogmas so much! The intro is so precious. I have to admit I was not sure if I would continue to watch since taking your lives in this new direction as I am a single traveler with no children. But never mind that! I love watching your family grow, evolve and navigate your way through these beautiful changes. Happy Holidays!
I'm loving seeing the 'normal' family life with you guys. Its such a juxtaposition to your early days and I'm loving it. Its like seeing a celeb in a supermarket or something - wow these guys can live a regular life and its so fascinating to me. Especially because you're such great parents.
Aww that feeling Louis of being a dad is enough.. I get it! Since becoming a parent I’ve settled down so much. Had my son in 2020 and a baby girl in September.. I garden and can food now I keep chickens and stay home with my children and it so much more than enough!! It’s what I feel I was missing- I became a parent at 30 years old- lived a hell of a life before then and it’s so much more than I ever imagined to just be a parent
I appreciate that you are having a quiet vlogmas episode! I am a homebody and this video looked a lot like my day to day leading up to Christmas and I truly appreciate that.... I feel like if you were constantly out and about it would wear the longer it went.... on you and on some viewers! I'd love to see a few more chill episodes before Christmas too!
Seriously, I love watching Raya and Louis very very much, but I’d be overjoyed if the entire video was neos antics occasionally to give themselves a rest. Neo is a pure joy to watch.🥰
I'm glad you made that decision, I was worried about you! Next time you are in a flea market/charity shop, see whether you can find a camera for Neo to attack, sorry, play with 😂 7:13
I love watching Neo so much because my baby is exactly the same age. They’re just so incredibly curious about everything. I’m definitely still reading to my baby too even though she could generally care less 😂. Its still so good for them! I can also totally relate to wanting to take your baby out in the evening but being worried about messing up the routine. I definitely feel like generally following the bedtime routine is good, but the occasional break from the routine won’t totally throw them off. And like you said, it’ll get easier as they get older! Their bedtime will get a bit later 😊
I agree with so many others you passed indeed! It’s a joy to watch you both parent and love on Neo. Remember: you can’t love a child too much. Notice I didn’t say spoil! You are on your way to proving this to be true. ❤🎄🎅🏻⛄️
Nice watching you just chill at home. I'm far from being vegan but dinner looked really yummy! Neo is soo precious, his eyes take in everything. What a sweetheart ❤
Its been beautiful watching you guys over the years and then becoming amazing parents, i can imagine the reality is hard but you guys make it look so easy ❤ x
hi! :) I enjoy watching you vlogmas-videos -- it's like an advent calendar for me😊 aaand, I was so happy, when I've just heard you say, Raya, you guys wanted to get off the gas a bit!!😅👍🏻👍🏻Watching yesterday's video, I was half the time wondering, how you guys have so much energy, to be out and about ALL DAY + baby + editing + LIFE!! :o So, just speaking for myself of course: I love days at home, slow, chilly, cozy, maybe creative, fun... I am sure, I would enjoy such vlogmas videos too☺Esp. during winter, I am longing for all those qualities even more. Hope, this feedback helps you guys, taking good care of yourselves + enjoying advent how you want it to be! :)) Best wishes from Austria, Beth
Hi guys!! To answer the Left Handed question! ( I love that you mentioned this Louis) My Nephew O'Neal, at I would say around 3-4 months, (and I TOTALLY CALLED THIS) would grab his bottle, toys, little things, everything with his left hand. I noticed it first, (I like to think) and told my sister, she agreed! He is now 4, and does everything with his left hand. Silverware, writing, throwing, grabbing, everything. I love that I noticed it so early on, and it was actually true! I think sweet Neo might be a leftie as well! He's so sweet you two. Thank you for Vlogmas, and really just being you. I've watched you grow since before you were even a couple. Happy Holidays from Oregon, USA :)
Glad you both took time out to get some much needed rest - I commend you for listening to your bodies, especially as parents of a young baby! And I also think you are both such wonderful parents!! Neo is a very lucky lad indeed!!!
I love watching you parent, being real with your experiences and emotions. It really helps de-stigmatize and opens that door people don’t often seen from others. 🧡 I love seeing Neo grow, I love that you take time for yourselves to rest, and I love how honest you guys are as often as possible. Sending you much love, hoping Louis doesn’t have to say up till 3am again. 😂 Raya, how you’re feeling better also!
Neo is a delight! What a blessing! Vlogmas is wonderful. Today was def not a fail…it was a fun day! I am really loving the vegan restaurant “crawl” you are doing. We don’t have as many vegan restaurants in the US as you do in England. We do have a vegan Indian restaurant here that used to do a menu with unlimited top offs. I loved being able to try everything. Sadly, they have gone back to a traditional menu. However, they still have a big focus on food waste and saving animals. 🥰 Enjoy your December!
Watching the last week of y'all videos have made me realize how much I have missed the old days of Louis and his daily videos. So getting to watch them again, but with y'all's new little baby included, has been such a delight. And y'all always bring a smile to my face which, is always a great thing. So thank you guys. Y'all are the best
You do not need to apologize, I enjoy all of your videos, no matter what you do. You did a good thing, as you needed to sleep and rest up for your big day tomorrow. Louis reminds me of my son, he has a two year old little girl and he loves her so much like you love Neo. The shots of you dancing around in the store is something that my son does.
Loving these vlogs ! We have a left handed grandson, like Neo, he favoured his left hand from a surprisingly young age. The restaurant looked fabulous. Subscribed. ❤
I’m moving to Sofia, Bulgaria in January. It had me wondering when you will take baby Neo to see your family there and if there are any Bulgarian traditions (holiday or otherwise) you are sharing as a family already. Merry Christmas guys and blessings to your sweet little family! 🫶🏼🤍🎄
I've always said you blink and miss it. Because their childhood goes really quickly. My kids are 36. 35. 33. Know and I have 14 grandkids. But I can say I would do it all again. Even though I was a single parent. I love your videos. It's so refreshing to watch . As a wholesome family veiwing. Keep up your good work with neo it will pay off in ways you can't imagine. And merry Christmas.
Hi Raya and Louis you can never fail with your vlogs they are great and Leo is lucky to have you two as parents. Just take things easy if you can’t do a video for any reason it is fine we just love your videos. Xxx
You both are amazing ~ Your parenting is very special with your little one ~ Doing a great job ~ That food looks so delicious ~ Thank you for being real and sharing your love and kindness ~
This is not a failure my friends this is self care and knowing when you have to reboot and look after yourselves! You are doing amazingly and whatever content you give us we will love I am sure! ❤
Guys Neo has the most beautiful dark eyes. He is such a cutie pie. You guys are wonderful parents. Babies minds are like lil sponges and everything is is soaked up
Honestly every parent is just trying to figure it out. I have 3 children aged 13, 11 and 9 and I'm still trying to figure it out, you are constantly learning as a parent and constantly having to change things around. As long as you are doing the best you can that's all that matters x
Not at all a fail!! And I am totally adding that restaurant to my list of places to visit next time I’m in England! Have you eaten at Unity Diner?? I LOVE that place and always love supporting Ed. Neo is getting cuter every video! No wonder you’re obsessed. And yay if he’s a lefty! Me too!
We did BLW as well. My son started grabbing and using his left hand, too. But I was told if you're right-handed and reach out give them spoon, they are going to grab with their left because it's the same side. My son now uses his right hand to eat at age 2.
Maybe a Q and A question...do you have a new found appreciation for your own parents now that you know the things they had to navigate when you were newborns.
Awesome little vlog… babies are all ambidextrous initially until 2/3 years but can be as late as 5/6 years old, good to hear foul, be more relaxed re bedtime … he really fall into routine eventually , you are such lovely chi,d focussed parents 👶🏻💙❤️💙❤️
Hey guys know you need some you time once and a while so take whatever time you need. Your true subscribers will be right here waiting for you. If you don't get the proper rest you need your not going to be able to provide us with the best of you!! ❤ U guys
Thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. You two are doing great with being flexible to meet YOUR family needs. The love and nurture being provided is evident. Trust your judgement. Neo is just adorable ♥
Loved this cozy and more relaxed edition of Vlogmas! It’s amazing to see Neo has already developed some serious dance moves! Since you’re asking for questions… I’ve got one for you: You’re both clearly passionate about Christmas - I’m wondering if you’re planning to raise Neo with an understanding of the Christian principles of the holiday or will your celebrations be primarily secular in nature? Looking forward to the next installment! ❤️
As you are friends with Mimi and Alex Ikonn, they spoke years ago about sleep training for their daughter Alexa, that it worked wonders. Maybe you can get some help with the sleep routine. Good luck🍀
I’ve never consistently watched anyone’s vlogmas, and I have to say that I am loving this/yours!!! I come home from work and can’t wait to watch!! Thank you so much for sharing all these different sides of yourselves and parts of your lives. I appreciate you all. 💜💜💜💜
REALLY enjoying your VLOGMAS. I have been subscribed for quite some time now. It is so fun to come home from work (teacher), and look forward to seeing and hearing about your day. You are both so down to earth. It feels like I am just hanging out with you. MANY thanks for sharing. Do you have any recs for other good VLOGMAS youtubers? Happy Holidays.
Hate to break it to you two but people watch vlogmas because we want to see your daily life! Don’t apologize for taking care of yourself and doing normal daily things. ❤
Thank you for doing vlogmas! Watching your videos at the end of my day feels like going through an advent calendar. You are such a fun, creative, caring and adventurous family that even a chill day is nice to watch. Question for your Q&A: What advice would you give to a family expecting their first baby? ❤
I've been watching you guys since Louis was traveling in New Zealand. I live in NZ 😊 Love your daily vlogs, my first Grandchild/grandson is 9 months old and I love watching Neo grow and develop just like my Grandson Malachi ❤️. I cant wait to have my first Christmas with him. And my parents who are his great grandparents xx
It honestly makes your Vlogmas more authentic to have a quiet rest day.
Guys! This was so NOT a fail! We got to see Neo try to consume the camera, you two got separate naps, your first out to dinner! This was a delightful winner!

Chill days are just as fun to watch! You both are such conscientious parents...Neo is a lucky boy!

It's such a big thing that good parents do. Be proud of yourself and tell yourself that whenever you can! Have a lovely Christmas. xx
Maybe buy yourself a really nice advent calendar (if you can) and everyday before you eat the chocolate you can say something kind to yourself ❤❤
Sending you 😍 & 🤗 you are worth it 👌
You don’t have to be doing something every vlog…..just hanging out with your sweet Family is enough 💜
I am so glad that you guys decided to take it easier because you felt like it was needed! Also, remember that it is perfectly okay to skip a day or have a shorter video sometimes because vlogmas can be a lot. The content is still so amazing 🖤This absolutely wasn't a fail because it's so important to take care of yourselves 🖤

So glad you took a chill day. You look so much more rested at the end of the video. We all need chill days, especially when you have a little one.
I think today has been one of the best days ever. I've enjoyed the other days, but I'm glad you gave all three of you a break to relax. As far as raising babies, I think you find what works best for you and your little one. I've never thought a stringent bedtime works for everyone. It has to work for all three of you.

I loved seeing both of my kids just knowing which hand worked for them. You guys are doing fantastic! I truly love your channel.
Honestly I liked this better than an eventful vlog... We are watching family content now bc we love it, not Live the Adventure content bc we have gotten older too lol!!!
Neo exploring and playing with Louis’s hair is the best thing on the Internet!! Adorable!
I look forward to this vlogmas every day! Love seeing your adventures and watching Neo’s personality come out.
Love the chill days. Neo needs his own channel, he's just soooo amazing!!
pretty cool would be to give him books for his age he can play with and manipulate, maybe they have for christmas ones!? LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSSSSS you really make my day!!!!!!!!!
Self care is extremely important especially when you are nurturing a little one
I was 18 when I started watching Louis . Caught him when he was doing the daily vlogs ,watched everyday, and I didn't have a kid then either. I now have a 6yrold and it's so awesome to see y'all daily vlogging w y'all's little one. Btw I'm 28 now 😂. We old

I honestly love your chill day vlogs. You bring out the beauty in the everyday, seemingly mundane things ❤
I am remembering why I always loved the daily vlogs so much. Not just the positive mindset but also the chill vibes and especially the music choices. I loved this vlog just as much as the others.
You must always put yourselves first, appreciate your vlogs and you. Take care xx
Ahhhh you guys made me so happy answering my question that I asked in vlogmas 4! The question was the one about parenthood I am an expecting mom and you guys have made me feel so much better, thank you 💕
Don’t put pressure on yourself’s, any of your contents will be great to watch, your great people enjoy and chill out yourself… we will watch whatever you put up…
I keep meaning to say - I love the animation in the beginning. Baby Neo looks so cute lol
One of my nieces is left-handed, and if i remember right, they all knew when she was a baby. So, you might be right about that, Louis ❤
I am enjoying your Vlogmas so much! The intro is so precious. I have to admit I was not sure if I would continue to watch since taking your lives in this new direction as I am a single traveler with no children. But never mind that! I love watching your family grow, evolve and navigate your way through these beautiful changes. Happy Holidays!

It’s what I feel I was missing- I became a parent at 30 years old- lived a hell of a life before then and it’s so much more than I ever imagined to just be a parent
I appreciate that you are having a quiet vlogmas episode! I am a homebody and this video looked a lot like my day to day leading up to Christmas and I truly appreciate that.... I feel like if you were constantly out and about it would wear the longer it went.... on you and on some viewers! I'd love to see a few more chill episodes before Christmas too!
Seriously, I love watching Raya and Louis very very much, but I’d be overjoyed if the entire video was neos antics occasionally to give themselves a rest. Neo is a pure joy to watch.🥰
I'm glad you made that decision, I was worried about you!
Next time you are in a flea market/charity shop, see whether you can find a camera for Neo to attack, sorry, play with 😂 7:13

I loved your chill day Vlogmas. Neo is so adorable.
So pleased you took time for yourselves today, so important. Look forward to seeing you all on tomorrow's vlog.
Hi guys!! To answer the Left Handed question! ( I love that you mentioned this Louis) My Nephew O'Neal, at I would say around 3-4 months, (and I TOTALLY CALLED THIS) would grab his bottle, toys, little things, everything with his left hand. I noticed it first, (I like to think) and told my sister, she agreed! He is now 4, and does everything with his left hand. Silverware, writing, throwing, grabbing, everything. I love that I noticed it so early on, and it was actually true! I think sweet Neo might be a leftie as well! He's so sweet you two. Thank you for Vlogmas, and really just being you. I've watched you grow since before you were even a couple. Happy Holidays from Oregon, USA :)
Glad you both took time out to get some much needed rest - I commend you for listening to your bodies, especially as parents of a young baby! And I also think you are both such wonderful parents!! Neo is a very lucky lad indeed!!!
I love watching you parent, being real with your experiences and emotions. It really helps de-stigmatize and opens that door people don’t often seen from others. 🧡 I love seeing Neo grow, I love that you take time for yourselves to rest, and I love how honest you guys are as often as possible. Sending you much love, hoping Louis doesn’t have to say up till 3am again. 😂 Raya, how you’re feeling better also!
Thank you for being such great examples of resting and listening to your body! Love your vlogs.
The Neo catwalk is my fave ❤ he's sooo flipping cute 🥰 Louis do you realise your jumper matched the wall tiles perfectly in the restaurant 😁
Neo is a delight! What a blessing! Vlogmas is wonderful. Today was def not a fail…it was a fun day! I am really loving the vegan restaurant “crawl” you are doing. We don’t have as many vegan restaurants in the US as you do in England. We do have a vegan Indian restaurant here that used to do a menu with unlimited top offs. I loved being able to try everything. Sadly, they have gone back to a traditional menu. However, they still have a big focus on food waste and saving animals. 🥰 Enjoy your December!
Watching the last week of y'all videos have made me realize how much I have missed the old days of Louis and his daily videos. So getting to watch them again, but with y'all's new little baby included, has been such a delight. And y'all always bring a smile to my face which, is always a great thing. So thank you guys. Y'all are the best
Love the catwalk show. Nice
Neo using your head to stand up 🤣 LOVE the catwalk!!! He's a natural!
Your lives are fixing to be SO exciting! Neo is at an incredible age!!!!
Neo is just on the move now. Those quiet days of putting him down and he not moving around, are over! He’s in discovery mode.
Y'all are so fun to watch! I love the Vlogmas videos, y'all are so cute!
I so look forward to hanging out w you guys❤❤❤ so fun! so festive! so happy! love love love ❤🧡💛
Aw story time with Raya!!! I love the cute holiday books you chose especially with all the animals.
You do not need to apologize, I enjoy all of your videos, no matter what you do. You did a good thing, as you needed to sleep and rest up for your big day tomorrow. Louis reminds me of my son, he has a two year old little girl and he loves her so much like you love Neo. The shots of you dancing around in the store is something that my son does.
Taking a day to rest IS NOT failure! All 3 of you needed the day at home. I bet you had a much better time in London because you took the day to rest.
Loving these vlogs ! We have a left handed grandson, like Neo, he favoured his left hand from a surprisingly young age.
The restaurant looked fabulous.

I’m moving to Sofia, Bulgaria in January. It had me wondering when you will take baby Neo to see your family there and if there are any Bulgarian traditions (holiday or otherwise) you are sharing as a family already. Merry Christmas guys and blessings to your sweet little family! 🫶🏼🤍🎄
I think I love these kinds of chill at home videos more than the out and about days, so don’t stress at all! Cosy content is also lovely 😊
I've always said you blink and miss it. Because their childhood goes really quickly. My kids are 36. 35. 33. Know and I have 14 grandkids. But I can say I would do it all again. Even though I was a single parent. I love your videos. It's so refreshing to watch . As a wholesome family veiwing. Keep up your good work with neo it will pay off in ways you can't imagine. And merry Christmas.
Hi Raya and Louis you can never fail with your vlogs they are great and Leo is lucky to have you two as parents. Just take things easy if you can’t do a video for any reason it is fine we just love your videos. Xxx
You both are amazing ~ Your parenting is very special with your little one ~ Doing a great job ~ That food looks so delicious ~ Thank you for being real and sharing your love and kindness ~
This is not a failure my friends this is self care and knowing when you have to reboot and look after yourselves! You are doing amazingly and whatever content you give us we will love I am sure! ❤
Thanks! I wish you well I am praying for you. God speed
Guys Neo has the most beautiful dark eyes. He is such a cutie pie. You guys are wonderful parents. Babies minds are like lil sponges and everything is is soaked up
Honestly every parent is just trying to figure it out.
I have 3 children aged 13, 11 and 9 and I'm still trying to figure it out, you are constantly learning as a parent and constantly having to change things around.
As long as you are doing the best you can that's all that matters x
Loved this vlog! You both are so amazing and I’ve loved seeing a more open vulnerable side to you both.
I am loving seeing a different country and how you are exploring.
Love this guy’s! But please take care of your health.
Raya and Louie, this vlog was not a failure. I enjoyed watching the family time. Thank you for sharing your lives with us
Can't wait to see your fun plans in vlogmas day 7!! Chill days in the vlog are just as fun to watch! So wholesome ❤❤
Not at all a fail!! And I am totally adding that restaurant to my list of places to visit next time I’m in England! Have you eaten at Unity Diner?? I LOVE that place and always love supporting Ed.
Neo is getting cuter every video! No wonder you’re obsessed. And yay if he’s a lefty! Me too!
We did BLW as well.
My son started grabbing and using his left hand, too. But I was told if you're right-handed and reach out give them spoon, they are going to grab with their left because it's the same side. My son now uses his right hand to eat at age 2.
What a beautiful vlog, thank you both so much and of course thank you to Neo as well xxxx
Maybe a Q and A question...do you have a new found appreciation for your own parents now that you know the things they had to navigate when you were newborns.
Awesome little vlog… babies are all ambidextrous initially until 2/3 years but can be as late as 5/6 years old, good to hear foul, be more relaxed re bedtime … he really fall into routine eventually , you are such lovely chi,d focussed parents 👶🏻💙❤️💙❤️
Loved following you through a normal, typical day. It was just perfect. 😊
Hey guys know you need some you time once and a while so take whatever time you need. Your true subscribers will be right here waiting for you. If you don't get the proper rest you need your not going to be able to provide us with the best of you!! ❤ U guys
He needs a Johnny Jump up!! My kiddos were jumpers also and loved it!
Thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. You two are doing great with being flexible to meet YOUR family needs. The love and nurture being provided is evident. Trust your judgement.
Neo is just adorable ♥
I just love listening to you both talk! 😍 Your accents are so cool and you're so sweet to each other!
Loved this cozy and more relaxed edition of Vlogmas! It’s amazing to see Neo has already developed some serious dance moves! Since you’re asking for questions… I’ve got one for you: You’re both clearly passionate about Christmas - I’m wondering if you’re planning to raise Neo with an understanding of the Christian principles of the holiday or will your celebrations be primarily secular in nature? Looking forward to the next installment! ❤️
Take each day as it comes and go with the flow guys. Don’t stress about making packed Vlogs, the normal stuff is completely fine!! ❤️ We love it
I love the vlogmas videos 🥰 I understand all the love you have for your baby wait till your grandparents ❤
So adorable how Neo is fixated on the camera ❤
As you are friends with Mimi and Alex Ikonn, they spoke years ago about sleep training for their daughter Alexa, that it worked wonders. Maybe you can get some help with the sleep routine. Good luck🍀
loved ,loved, yesterdays sleep deprived silly parents. Very true, and it only gets better. Holiday fun travels.!
I’ve never consistently watched anyone’s vlogmas, and I have to say that I am loving this/yours!!! I come home from work and can’t wait to watch!! Thank you so much for sharing all these different sides of yourselves and parts of your lives. I appreciate you all. 💜💜💜💜
REALLY enjoying your VLOGMAS. I have been subscribed for quite some time now. It is so fun to come home from work (teacher), and look forward to seeing and hearing about your day. You are both so down to earth. It feels like I am just hanging out with you. MANY thanks for sharing.
Do you have any recs for other good VLOGMAS youtubers?
Happy Holidays.
Hate to break it to you two but people watch vlogmas because we want to see your daily life! Don’t apologize for taking care of yourself and doing normal daily things. ❤
Have fun and enjoy this time with Neo while he is still young. It goes way too fast. He so knows that camera already!!!
The BEST Vlogmas on UA-cam!🏆🫶🏼❤️
Thank you for doing vlogmas! Watching your videos at the end of my day feels like going through an advent calendar. You are such a fun, creative, caring and adventurous family that even a chill day is nice to watch.
Question for your Q&A: What advice would you give to a family expecting their first baby? ❤
Oh please don't stress yourself, this was beautiful. Have a beautiful time, lots of love
I've been watching you guys since Louis was traveling in New Zealand. I live in NZ 😊
Love your daily vlogs, my first Grandchild/grandson is 9 months old and I love watching Neo grow and develop just like my Grandson Malachi ❤️.
I cant wait to have my first Christmas with him. And my parents who are his great grandparents xx
