If anybody is here to say the swim classes are cruel, PLEASE don’t! This is teaching him SO much, and as you see, he wasn’t crying or under any stress. This is going to be so helpful for his safety going forward! He’s doing so good!!! ❤

We had a pool next door, so we did swim training with our kids as infants. It’s the best way to learn to swim, and as toddlers it could potentially save your child’s life!

I started swimming lessons as a baby~~ I have always loved it, learned life-saving techniques, and believe in my abilities in the water. Safety 1st 🙂

Best thing you can do as a parent is to teach your kids how to swim, nothing cruel about that. Neo is a total champ ❤😊

OG, here! I thiiiiink I found Louis through Charles Trippy and CTFxC over 10 years ago. I remember being mesmerized by your India trip in the tuk tuks and the way you’d edit music to sound underwater when you’d bring the camera underwater 😂 And the first vlog with Raya! It’s been beautiful to watch your relationship thrive and all the sick life moments you’ve both shared! 🫶🏻

I've been watching Louis since before you two met. It was so fun watching you guys fall in love. I remember when you guys were traveling together all the time and I was thinking, "Are they together? Are they just friends?!"😂 And now you have your sweet little boy. Life is beautiful!❤

It seems nothing fazes Neo, he is so chilled and takes notice of everything.

Dear Louis, thank you so much for that ocean meditation! I am from the coast and am currently living in a desert city with a very dry climate, so it was beautifully healing to have a moment with the ocean! :)

I just commented the same thing!! Sometimes you don’t even realize you need it

OG here ...not from food for louis days but from one of the 1st Playlist Lives .....it has been so amazing to see Louis transformation. He used to go home in the early hours of the morning ,sleep at his friends, in buses and cars .I find it so amusing how he is doing vaccuming and tidying up,living the domesticated life. Also being a father and taking care of a baby and its so amazing. 😊 It could never have imagined it previously . I think also with Covid and you guys living communally in LA and not posting much ,we missed a step in Louis and Raya growth journey. I really definitely think you guys need to do a podcast there are so many behind the scenes stories and discussions to share if you would like .

OG, here! When you started out with the Boom Bus. Met you in 2012 at Summer in the City. Definitely a huge influence on me with your adventurous mindset! It's been great to see you grow as a person, Raya, Neo! Happy for ya! 💜

OG. I started watching Louis in 2012/2013 during my final year of high school. Food for Louis days and boombus adventures.

I’m an OG subscriber! I’ve been subscribed to Louis’ channel since he was in a Casey Niestat video many years ago. I remember when you two first met. I’m pretty sure that is when I started following Raya’s channel. It’s been wonderful watching you both grow into husband and wife and now dad and mom. Thank you for Vlogmas, it gives us a chance to get to know Neo a bit better!❤

OG here, too. But for me, it went the opposite way. I was already subscribed to Louis and then I found Casey through him. This Vlogmas feels a bit like the old times. I also subscribed to Raya as soon as they met. I wish she would start vlogging again, I loved her solo videos, too.

Louis….that little ocean wave meditation you shared was amazing. I am one who feels peace from the sounds and smell of the ocean. I am a California girl stuck in the Midwest of the US. Those waves were a welcome peace I didn’t even realize I needed. Thank you. Love your and Raya’s videos.

Started watching with my sisters in 2013 in my last year of high school. 😊 I just received my love the adventure hoodie in the mail and it feels really nostalgic

Mr. Mom!!! So impressed that you take him swimming, come home and clean, move furniture, make yourself something to eat, take him out for a walk...you are truly a great dad Louie!!!

It’s called being a dad, not Mr. Mom. Louis is a good dad. All dads should be involved with their kids.

Wow, that swim was great! No coughing, no crying, he really was ready for it!! Louis knew. And he is under a year old! I'm not a dad, but that was amazing. 👍

The ocean is so calming and is my favourite place to go.Thankfully it’s not too far where I live in Nova Scotia,Canada.Loving vlogmas!

OG subscriber here! I even submitted a “Live the Adventure” intro in hopes Louis would select it and edit into his daily vlog. He didn’t😢 but I loved watching you hangout with all the OG British KZreadrs before you were blessed with Raya and Neo❤ It’s so magical to watch how far you’ve grown, Louis!

Hi Raya and Louis; Neo is so good in the pool 🏊 bless him this is amazing for him to learn at an early age it’s fantastic!!! The earlier they learn the better!!! Raya and Louis are just the greatest parents xxx 😘

As a young child swimming instructor here in USA I want to say how awesome Neo is doing and how very important it is to start young. Great job parents!!!!!

I had my kids in the pool at 6 mos. They both loved it and were swimmers in no time. Because we lived in Florida it was imperative they learn to get themselves to safety, and be able to grab the side of the pool. It looks like Neo’s a natural too, great job! 👏

As a person that does Hospice work. From the parents of a toddler that died from drowning: please bring your babies to swim classes like this as early as possible so they learn to instinctively float on their backs if they ever fall into water unsupervised. Bravo Neo and mom and dad for giving him swim lessons so early!!!❤❤❤❤

Fantastic job Neo. Swimming is a vital skill especially learning super young. I did the same with my son because my first cousin drown in just minutes after getting away from her parents. It happens so quickly and can be prevented simply by doing exactly as you both are teaching Neo. Blessings to you all. 🎄Happy Holidays. ~Love&Light♥️C.

The play pen around the tree is so good, 💕

OG here from Australia- starting watching Louis and Charles Trippy in 2012- my mum was going through a very difficult stage of dementia and watching vloggs was my escape - I am still subscribed to you and Charles as you are my favourites ❤️🇦🇺

That pastry Christmas Tree looks amazing: Neo's hair is growing so much! Thank you for sharing.

Next summer will be so fun seeing Neo have fun on the beach.

Louis really needed that moment of peace. Thank you so much! Neo is such a natural in the water.

Neo Olympic Star 🌟 Y'all great parents ~ {{{Hugs}}} 😊

So much fun to see Neo in his swim class! He did great and will be a great swimmer. Such a wonderful activity to do with him on so many different levels.

Loved the vlog - Neo swimming reminds me of our kiddos swimming at that age, especially our son who went on to compete on swim teams between the ages of 5 and 18 years old...I miss those days, so savor them all you can! And yes--teaching Neo about water and safety in the water is essential, so good job Louis and Raya!! PS. I began watching "Fun For Louis" in the pre-Raya days...a LOT has transpired since then!

Neo preparing for his GB gold medal 2040🥇🙌🏻

I am enjoying vlogmas so much! Thank you for the hard work and putting out videos.

OG from Mexico here ❤ I am starting to feel sad to think these vlogs will be over soon :(

I love yr teaching neo to swim, I took my boys swimming at 6 months old, my sons were trained to the highest before they started school

Love your Vlogmas! 🎄 My babygirl is one month younger than Neo and we had our second swimming lesson today! Watching kids learn new skills is amazing ❤ Neo is so cute! 🥰

We're loving this series!

OG here...I believe...I feel like I was watching Louis' vids way before Raya came into his life. Love your content. Thank you for sharing your happiness. Happy Holidays! 😁

Thank you for that little meditation segment Louis! 🌊A nice little addition to these lovely vlogs 🎄

Wow, Neo is a natural! Best to get the wee ones used to water at a young age I think. Merry Christmas to you all ✨️🎄✨️

Loving your vlogmas!

OG- Been watching since the India Rickshaw run. I cannot believe that was 10 years ago! Thank you for letting us into your life, it has been a pleasure watching you grow and growing with you.

Loving these Christmas vlogs! Keeping me entertained whilst studying. Have been here for a very long time btw. Still vividly remember the Rickshaws Run in India and even many vlogs before that! 🫶🏼

OG viewer! Thoroughly enjoy watching louis' journey! Raya and neo an exceptional addition to the vlogs ❤

Hi, it might be a good idea to swap the orange and the green pieces of Neo’s new climbing toy so the Xmas tree fence is not on the way when he’s sliding down

Been watching since 2012! Was super lucky to meet Louis back in 2015 when he visited Calgary! Loved the ocean meditation, pls include more ocean clips 😅

The pastry and pesto tree was so festive and looked delicious. What a great idea.

I’m so enjoying your Vlogmas everyday this month 🎄 and everyday I think is my favorite 🥰

OG! Been here from almost the beginning. It’s been so crazy to watch your relationship from the very beginning!❤️

thank you so much for sharing the scene with the sea 🌊 i was growing on the seaside and missing it so so much

I love his outfit today so much! A baby Christmas party is the cutest idea ever!! Thank you for the mini meditation Louis!

lovely idea to get him to be confident with water.....and to have these contacts days with mums and their their babies....its so important not only for Leo but for you too....

Been following you for a few years and love watching your adventures and dynamics as a couple! It's SO FUN seeing you guys and getting to know your personalities better on this greatest adventure called parenting! You're killing it as parents!!!

Loved getting a reminder and a chance to connect with my breath and listen to the waves. Trying my best to practice mindfulness in my everyday life. Thank you Louis! Btw. Been watching Louis since 2014!

So I was watching and enjoying, like, I have all month long and it occurred to me today when Neo woke up during your walk with him, I don't know if you realize it, but every time you guys are out with him and he wakes up in a new place, it is helping him so much to not have anxiety over new places. I think it is just great. Even though he always sees one or both of you, it is still a good thing. A lot of babies get very upset in new places. Raya, your Christmas tree pastry turned out amazing! The baby Christmas party looked so fun. What a for the little ones and the moms.

Loved the waves. Very impressed with Neo’s swimming skills, he is so brave! Another lovely video from a very lovely family.

Thanks Louis for that meditation moment , Raya i just love to watch you get the house ready for the party 🎉❤ Thanks for the daily vlogs you guys . Each day is a joy to watch your beautiful family ❤

I took my son for swimming lessons when he was 6 years old. He swims like a fish since. A baby Christmas party was an adorable idea!!

Gorgeous savory Xmas tree! Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness, cuteness overload!!! ❤

I’m loving the recipes Raya 😊

In the US we blow in the babies face and they automatically take a breath, but Leo is doing amazing!!! So advanced

Ive been watching since Louis did food challenges! But really started watching him and Ben in 2014

That was a lovely 20 seconds of me and the sea😊 thank you

OG been here before you guys met lol I often tell people updates of you guys like the para social relationships are so real for me ahahaha love you both so happy to be apart of your journey ❤❤❤❤❤❤

OG! i´ve been watching for almost 10 years now. Love from Uruguay :)

I can't remember when I started watching Louis, but it was before you were together. ❤

I started swimming at Neo’s age with my Dad and continued right through so yep it is the best thing for little ones to especially be able to turn on their back or get to the side. I love the way Louis is like Raya will buy all the presents for everyone 😂 yet another great Vlog thanks guys ❤🎄

In child development studies learning from others is called scaffolding. Yes one who is not quite there is scaffolded in their abilities by another baby more advanced at at a task ❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love watching you guys with Neo! He is such a cute kid. Can't wait to watch him grow up :)

I have been watching since Food for Louis, these videos are much more enjoyable 😆

I am an OG. I have been watching from almost the very beginning. I started vlogging because of his channel. Although I have not stayed with it through the years because of different conflicts. Vlogging is very difficult sometimes. One of these days would love to have a chat with you guys. I will put it on my bucket list LOL NO joke. Our family has been following your adventures everywhere. This new phase is really great for you guys.

I was definitely an OOOGGG!! Merry Christmas Loobags & Fam 🎄

Yay I'll watch this later after I've mowed the lawns and finished my laundry and dishes 😅 I can relax with a cuppa and biscuit..

I love the pesto tree! So doing this🤗

I love Louis meditation moment with the waves, how soothing was that,,,I live next to the beach, u made me realize I need to take more advantage of that,,,,,,

I’m pretty sure I started watching right before raya entered the picture, love you guys!

I mostly buy the Christmas gifts but I'm quite happy with that as it's definitely a strength I've developed over time xxx

I started watching afew months before meeting Raya. and Lily in New york it was wonderful then and still wonderful now. MERRY, HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you and the family😊

amazing party 😊 Neo really needs a trampoline he loves jumping for sure 😂

😊 I've been watching your story for probably 10 years now, I remember the trip to Mexico and the jungle room 😆

Neo is amazing in the water I can't believe he is only 8 months old. great vlog x

Neo did so good at Christmas heheh so cute 🎄🌷 Also Raya your party food looks sooooo good!! I loved the Christmas tree pizza twist yummmyyy!

It's always my responsibility to take care of all gifts. Family, friends, service people and don't forget him!

Yup! Been following Louis since we'll before you met, it's been an evolving journey and have loved every moment. If any couple were destined to meet it's you two, just loving the family you've both created! 🥰💞👶🐶🌱🏡🎬💜

Lol the Christmas gift talk at the end..Example of our Christmas..My Dad will open his gift from us and my partner would say "oh nice ..what is it ..what did you get ? 😂

OG! Love the vids

OG since FOOD for Louis!!!!

It'll be interesting to see if Neo decides whether to grow his hair as long as Louis's or get it trimmed and what the parental reactions would be . Meantime, thanks for sharing the fun you all are re-discovering via watching your little one's reactions to these festivities!

OG over here! Love you both!

I was watching before Raya came into the picture! I’m pretty sure I was following you from around the beginning. I was following Zoe and Alfie from the beginning of their individual channels and I think that was around the same timeline for you. I was so excited when I started realizing that Raya was going to be someone special in your life!! ❤
