Same. I was boo hooing and then laughing. My daughter will be one this month as well and I totally relate.

When he went “roar”🦁 My heart 🥺

Girl, I've never been so early! I can't believe Jackson will be 1 in just a few days! 😍 And then Riley will be 3! Can't wait to see you make it to 100k! 🥳💞

I sat and bawled with you. My little guy just turned 10 months and I have to go back to work the beginning of February. It’s so heartbreaking to think of how little I will get to see him during the week. Sometimes it’s hard to count your blessings so I’m glad you listed some. I am blessed to have my rainbow baby after struggling to get pregnant and a miscarriage. Being a mama is the best job I have ever had even on the hard days. Xoxox sending love to you with Jackson’s first birthday. ♥️

literally needed to watch this because i'm a babysitter/nanny and i am trying to get more comfortable taking care of children under 1yr.

you are doing a great job mama! very proud of you! i completely understand how stressful it can be but you got this! ☺️

Thank you for always being so real and honest. You are a great mama and it shows in Riley and Jackson.

Ah, Kayla, you had me in tears about weaning off breastfeeding. My breastfeeding journey had to end at 12 weeks and I was so so so sad. What I did that has helped me so much since then was taking close up photos and videos of my daughter nursing. Just for me. I still, at 9.5 months postpartum, watch them and while it makes me cry it also preserves the memories. Thanks for sharing your sadness with us; I hope our support helps you through it.❤️

It’s been so fun watching Jackson grow through his first year through your vlogs! I remember weaning my daughter, it was so hard for me emotionally and the side effects of weaning are just not talked about enough. Your feelings are so valid but Keep trying to think of all of the fun times to come with your beautiful family of 4❤️

I feel like this year has flown by as well! Our littles are a few days apart and I have been able to relate to you so many times throughout this “ mom of 2 kids” journey. In this crazy world of quarantine, you have helped this momma feel solidarity. *Abrazos*

You’re not alone! I’m sitting here crying with you because our second (and probably last) baby also turns 1 this month and I can’t even handle it. Please keep us updated on how you are feeling about it and any tips on staying positive about it. It makes me so sad that the baby phase flies by so fast. 😭

Enjoy the kids as much as possible now Kayla. They grow up sooooo fast! My daughter is almost 21 & while I miss her younger years, I’m sooo happy to see her soar with college & enjoy watching her start her life. Plus for me some freedom...yayyyy🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽.

I legit just cried hearing you sad about baby boy being one as my Olivia will be one in January and I feel absolutely the same way and I’m sending you the biggest bear hug because it’s so hard

I’m so proud of the momma and KZreadr you are! 💗

My little boy is 16mo now and I totally agree about it going by too quickly. It’s so hard. Having a newborn was so hard but also I’m so sad that he’s getting so big. It’s such a mix of emotions. I’m really happy that he is doing so well. Hang in there mama.

Kayla, I love your vlogs. You are a great mom and I can completely associate with you in this journey of yours.. Love listening to you

Good to see him independently playing with things.. happy for you .. my boy is 5 months old And he behaved so similar like Jackson ..God bless ur family.

Girl, same 🥺. My baby just had her first birthday and I went through all the same emotions because she is my last. We just need to look forward to all the great things to come. We got this 💪🏻.

I'm going strong at 10 months now with my second child and I'm emotional about the fact that she is my last also and I only have 8 weeks, if that! of breast feeding her😭 that bond is so special and I too shall miss it terribly xxx

I hear you Kayla. I'm starting feel very emotional about my 2nd baby getting older and older in a blink of an eye😭 I always thought I would have 3 babies but I feel this may be it for us too and the thought of this journey being the last with a little baby, and the whole breastfeeding too makes me very sad. I can totally relate... breastfeeding has been difficult, but that bond is something special and it's emotional when your babies don't need you for that anymore. But let's look at it this way, it means you've been doing great raising a healthy and happy baby for an entire year already (especially during this crazy year)👍

🤣🤣 When he is happy he says Dada, when he wants something he says mamma. 🤣🤣 Why am I not surprised 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seeing this now because my first born just turned 11 months and knowing you had a 3rd child makes me so happy that you get to have this one more time❤️

Aww you made me tear up!! Sending love 💕

He is so cute and chunky!👶🏻He looks a very healthy little baby so don't worry you are a great mom💕

I cried when you got emotional 🥺 I only have one baby and I would love another but it’s so hard for me with just one so I don’t think I could do it and it makes me emotional just to think about it. You’re doing a great job with your kids!

Totally understand your emotions about stopping breastfeeding eventually. When I stopped at 5 months (low supply) I felt like I was losing such a big part of our daily bonding. But I’m all good now. We will all get there together! Those baby hairs though! Me too. This video gave me all the feels today!

He is getting so big and more and more handsome

Hi Kayla, I enjoy your videos so much! My daughter is just a littel older than Jackson--she was born 11-11-19. We are struggling with her lack of weight gain since month 7 so I very much understand what you are going through with your baby boy. She's in the 2nd percentile, but making strides and gaining slowly. For awhile, we were not even on the chart! We are also starting physical therapy to help her with balance and encourage her to start walking.

Jackson is so sweet!! Oh my! 😍 my little one is almost 11 months and he is in the 99th percentile HOWEVER he doesn’t crawl, scoot or anything. There’s always something to worry about so I feel ya. He wants to nurse ALL day long lol every baby is SO different!

He’s such a precious little boy! You are truly blessed to have healthy and beautiful children!! I have to remind myself how blessed I was to experience having a baby. My daughter was born on December 8th, and will be turning 30 years old soon, but it feels like yesterday. I had to have an emergency hysterectomy 5 days after her birth due to hemorrhaging. So, I had 1 pregnancy, and 1 beautiful daughter who my husband and I adore!! Thank you for sharing your motherhood journey with us.💖

I’ve been doing the virtual workshop for infants and toddlers called conscious discipline. It’s really great. It has helped me with my 8 and a half month old with being able to handle tantrums, etc. Becky Bailey is the one who does the lectures and she’s amazing.

Just know like you said it gets better...and yes everyday is a new one so just enjoy. I have 3 under 3 and sometimes i dont know when it will end but it just keep positive. Sending lots of love!!! 💜

Watching this now makes me emotional- Seeing how sad you were about Jackson potentially being your last, knowing you’re having a third ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can’t believe that boy is so big!!! He looks so good and that smile!

I completely understand what you mean when you feel like time has flown by. I think I can especially this year because of the pandemic like time has flown by at twice the speed! I had my baby in March and he turns 9 months in a couple days and I cannot believe how fast it's going and in 3 months he'll be a year old and it just makes me feel so emotional and even now I'll scroll through my phone to look at his newborn pictures and make miss him being a tiny little blob that didn't flip over when I change his diaper or crawl all over the place.

Don’t worry, all babies develop at their own pace! 😊 My son developed his physical milestones a little later and I freaked out about it and compared him to others all the time. Now, he’s doing a lot. He’s the same age as Jackson and doesn’t say words either. Jackson will get there when he’s ready! He’s sooo adorable btw 😍

He is adorable..I so hear you about the distracted eating my son is almost 9 months and I have to literally keep his attention to keep him drinkin his milk ..I love your channel you help so many women know we are not alone in the way we feel post partum..I am an exclusive pumper and I got my period at 7 months once and now it's irregular hasent came back yet my son is starting to teeth and it has been so rough some days I just cry my eyes out bc it is just so hard being a sahm is difficult at times bc its not like a 9-5 job i just remember it won't last forever to cherish these moments

My little boy is exactly 6 days younger than Jackson and I love watching these videos as I can see the similarities, he’s doing the same things as Jackson and my post-partum is the same too. I’m also getting really bad cramps out of no where so nice to see it’s not anything too bad

My son is about a month and a half older than Jackson and I love seeing how they're growing so similarly. Just yesterday my son started finally walking! I'm so im awe and happy but also so sad that he's technically staring to go to the toddler phase now and he's not an actual baby anymore and im getting notifications on memories of him a year ago and I just can't sometimes! But it's been so fun seeing him explore the world. You mentioning teething just makes me wonder how bad are molars going to be. My son had 3 teeth come out practically at the same time and he took it like a champ! Hopefully molars are a walk in the park after that 😅

Commenting again (sorry) because our second is also our last. And I'm struggling completely the same as you. Especially with the nursing. I didn't get to nurse our first and I'm really feeling like I missed out on that. I'm not ready for this chapter to end. It's helped me as much as him.

It’s soo true what people say about it going so fast 🙁 my son will be 2 1/2 dec 20th and I can’t believe it ! I do feel like this year went by so fast ! Can’t believe Jackson is almost 1! ❤️❤️❤️

Hey Kayla I know, they grow so fast and babyhood is a precious thing. Just because you are sad doesn't mean you don't love your kids and your husband. Breathe in and out. Your emotions are human, and it's also tough that you will not be nursing much longer. Hang in there. You're a great Mom.

Sending love to you, Kayla! I, too, can't believe it's been a year since Jackson was born. You should get one of those breastmilk rings to remember your breastmilk journey!! ♥

You dont have to stop. I felt same way you feel when my baby was almost one year old and we stopped at 20 months old. SO GLAD I didnt push it and force him to stop at one year. I was an emotional wreck trying to stop when my baby was one year old. By 20 months I was over it and so much easier for me to stop. I actually celebrated it because I knew I can drink wine again lol

And they stop biting when you get past one. And it's more meaningful to the baby as well. You literally see how comforting it is for them. It's still an emotional process but much easier to distract them from the boob when they're older and trying to stop. I wish you luck.

Your feelings are valid. I cried when I put my little one to bed the night before her first birthday. She's exactly a month older than Jackson and you had me crying with you when you were talking about Jackson turning 1, where did the time go! Edit. I have baby hair bangs too!!! Hahaha

Hang in there mama, you’re doing great! ❤️

I started crying along with you. Bebe never got the hang of nursing so I am pumping. Hes 8 months and I can't give it up because I'm so sad we never nursed

Thanks for being so honest Kayla and sharing your feelings I too have a girl and boy about the same age as Riley and Jackson and I'm also so emotional with them growing so fast it makes me sad. I want to have a baby for the next 30 years.😭😭😭

Made me tear up when you started talking about baby j turning one and weaning bc my baby will be one in February and I have to start thinking about weaning also and it’s so sad and so emotional so I’m right there with you mama!

I will say too that I’ve been watching your videos since Riley was a lil baby and you were the biggest help when I got pregnant with my first 😭

I got all teary eyed when you talked about ending your nursing journey. I have two kids and when i weaned my second(she’s 2 now) i was a mess. It’s so hard. Also we are most likely moving to fort belvoir this summer and I’d love to have coffee and play dates with you!!! 😂

You're doing great! My baby boy is turning 1 in January.... I don't know how to process it! Ask Joe to baby proof all that stuff they are getting in to. That will reduce the stress a little.

Horia is 9 months old and he also tries to open drawers. He has one that he is able to open in the kitchen and I try to surprise him by changing the things I put inside :) You should try building YES spaces.

Oh me oh my he’s getting to big! Can’t believe he’s almost going to be turning one! He’s such a cutie pie!

So funny we share with you the most of the things you are saying!! I am surprised so many things match.. Is trueevery kid is different in rhythms but a lot of the things they do seem to be taken out from a manual! Haha you two are too cute! Thanks for sharing and best luck in everything!

how long do you plan on staying home with the kids? Will Riley start kindergarden/preschool when she turns three? you are doing such a great job ❤️

I really like your update videos. You are not fake. My son is 8 months old

I have an 11 month old myself now and can relate to what you are saying here! Hope things are well :)

He is such a big boy now!!

awww. made me sad when you were trying to hold your tears. i am in the same situation. i am enjoying my last baby.

I love your videos!

I completely understand you, yesterday I was pregnant and now he is 7 months 😭

Can’t believe almost a year has passed so quickly! Just remember that you don’t have to stop breastfeeding right away if you don’t want to. If your heart is still in it and it’s still convenient for you to keep nursing, Jackson will continue to benefit physically and emotionally (and so will you!) if you keep going until it feels easier / more natural for you to wean. Only stop if you genuinely want to. You’re the boss in your journey. Whatever is right for you and your family is right. ❤️

Good morning! I enjoy watching your videos.

Eeeek so close to 100k subs💕

I'm over here crying too. I had my little guy in February. I kept tossing back and forth having another. Pregnancy wasn't too rough. I just had a lot of pelvic pain. Recovery has been another story. I'm also 32 and know it will get harder getting older. I have come to terms with only haven't 1. It's a strange feeling being happy and sad seeing a little one grow.

It is totally fine to keep nursing all you want past the first year. In fact, The World Health Organization recommends nursing until at least two years of age.

Where did you get that sweatshirt? My daughter didn’t start walking until 13 months then they are all over! Girl being a mom is hard! I have a 2 month old and and 2.5 year old who is whining all the time, I’ve had so many crying days.

Same here ! My baby is already 11 months old too

Jackson is going to be 1 already 😭💙 Time flies!!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!! You have such a beautiful family! Keep praying for Gods will. If it's for you to stop having babies and focus on your current family, then at least you know you are making the right decision for what His will is for you! I totally understand the bond of a son and mother. I have a beautiful 9 month old little boy, who we are fostering to adopt. I can't biologically have children due to medications that I'm on for autoimmune conditions. I also don't want to pass those conditions down. The bond doesn't get any less strong biological or not. So what I'm trying to say is that you will always have such a strong bond with your children no matter what:) Thank you so much for your videos! I always look forward to what my little guy will be doing next! Also, fights with your husband are so normal... It's how you come back from it and work towards doing better the next time. Just remember to laugh. If my husband didn't laugh I don't know where we would be.

Kayla I am at the exact same place with you in terms of breastfeeding, I'm trying desperately to have more milk for these last few months, I have no idea how long I'll keep going but I know I'm not ready.

I also ordered and sent all the xmas gifts early- great idea as I think delivery time is going to get crazy..........

...you have so many stages to look forward to with your family... I think the baby months r very tough on you- remember the scripture- to everything there is a season.........every year will be an adventure with your precious kids, time and experiences with your hubby, time with your parents, etc.......so much to look forward to...you are precious!!!!!

My baby is 9 months and I know how you feel! It went by so fast😭

Kayla, are you doing vlogmas? I would soooo love that

My first only said 3 words regularly until he was 2. Right after he turned two he just suddenly started speaking. He's 2.5 now and says 3-5 word sentences. I actually had him evaluated to make sure he didn't need speech therapy. He was totally fine. Some take time. My babies are also almost exactly 2 years apart. The todd's first multi word sentence was "night night baby" to his newborn brother 🥰

Do not worry about his weight.My mum told me that babies tend to lose appetite while teething and lose weigt when they get more active.

Try not to worry about Jackson’s weight, he looks so healthy and is such a cute little man! You are doing great Mama! ❤️

I really like what you said you so open person

Oh Kayla, if you cry Im gonna cry 😭

God Bless you and your beautiful family

I have loved watching your babies get older and loved seeing their little milestones as my little boy is now 8 months. I love to watch your videos while breastfeeding or rocking him to bed at night. Thank you 🥰

I been seeing all your video I feel you my 4 month old is like Jackson and doesn’t sleep and doesn’t nap either his my fourth kids and he’s been the hards one of all I don’t know what to do?

If you can could you do a video in weaning cause im afraid of that time

Hi I just want say I cried when you started crying .Can I ask you are you planning on having another baby? Your still young lol And I believe you and joe will work things out. Have a good week.

Aww my baby girl will be 11 months on the 12th im so sad i want her to stay lil

As far as comparison remember that Riley wasn't as mobile as Jackson. I think typically either motor skills it verbal skills develop first not always both at the same time. I know a little girl who didn't talk at all until around 18 months but then when she started talking she was learning 40+ words a day

Your baby hair made me laugh so hard lol 🥰

Love your channel. Does he sleep through the night? I am where you were at 4 and 5 months. Dying!

17:04 😭Ooohhh I'm so in that period.

My son gives me a freakn heart attack all the time toooo lol love your vids and really appreciate all the info since this is my first kid :)

I also breastfeed my baby but want to start introducing him to formula what formula do you give him?

He reminds me so much of my 7 months old boy sometimes😅

This video has been very helpful, I am sad about the fact that in the next couple months I will stop breastfeeding since my daughter turned one a couple of days ago.

Ok this broke my heart when You talked no more kids...please don’t feel you need to make that decision now. It seems like another child is something your heart wants but your fears and anxieties are present as well. Give yourself time - my mom regretted not having a 4th and still talks of it emotionally.

What is the benefit of giving baby cow milk vs formula? FTM to a 11 months old and am just curious if we can continue to give him formula instead of introducing cow milk

The way he pulls clothes out of the draw lol!

Love your honesty ❤️ I feel the same as you described... excited about the fun things to come but in constant mourning of not having a tiny baby. I’m 7 mpp and dealing with a lot of similar emotions (I had to wean early). Nice to know I’m not alone ❤️

love Jackson's delayed reaction to hitting his head on the drawer at 5:40
