    No exaggeration…Alfie looks at Zoe in such a special way since they announced her pregnancy. In this video when she’s talking and he’s looking at her and listening…the WAY he looks at her is amazing. So happy for their little family 😊

    I'm literally crying at how you describe your moments with Ottie.. It's so different when a man wants to be a father

    Seeing a father who loves their daughter this much just makes my heart burst. Ottie is the luckiest girl in the world having two parents who openly adore her and care for her this much. Thank you so much for sharing these moments with us❤️

    The talk about her being the nice bossy cousin while directing the family play was HILARIOUS to me. Thank you both for sharing her. We love all three of you so much ❤

    Currently watching with a sleepy 5 week old on my chest. I’m already freaking out about how fast time is flying by, but equally excited for all the things that are to come during that first year 🥲 can’t wait for her to learn to walk and say her first words :) Ottie is the cutest!

    When I saw the title I thought I’ve been a mum for 34 years. 5 kids and I can truly say I absolutely love it and now a grand parent I get to continue to love it ❤ also I agree with you about shopify , I have my business on shopify and life is so much easier xx

    I’m recovering from surgery. I’ve been a mom since 2001. I just have a son. I can’t believe he’s almost 22. I divorced his dad when he was just turning 3 and it was just us two. I can’t believe I did it by myself and he’s now a productive man with his own life. I’m proud of him.
    He’s left handed and I’m not. Teaching him about throwing and catching and all of that was easy. Tying his shoes was the biggest obstacle for me. I got a childrens book at the library and it took me 3 weeks and lots of videos to teach him because it was backwards for me.
    We did it together though.
    It goes by so fast.

    We have an 18 month old daughter too and my husband and I were just talking about how the tiredness isn’t what we anticipated. I always thought parents were tired because their kids didn’t sleep well, but we lucked out with a great sleeper and we’re still tired. It’s just always being “on”

  • @007luanamartins
    @007luanamartins Год назад +40

    I remember when Alfie used to say "I really want to be a young dad, super cool with tattoos, skating with my kid..." and guess what? You are it! Isn't is amazing when you find someone who wants to build a life with you? You made Zoe's biggest dream come true, it's magical to watch. Thank you for sharing with us 🤗

    Nappy changing is never a problem or a big deal for me as I work In a toddler room (18months-3years) in a children’s nursery so i have to do like 10/15 nappies in a row 😅
    I personally don’t have children myself but honestly the way you look at Ottie and the way you talk about her is lovely, you can tell how grateful and happy you are to be a dad. You are just amazing!!!

    When you spoke about Ottie’s personality, it was just SO sweet it made me cry! One can really see the unconditional love that you and Zoe have for your daughter - that truly only a parent can have I think. And it’s just precious. Bless you all with all my heart and hope there is nothing but happiness in your life. ❤

    BTW let Zoe know that I thank her; I used to be what she calls a "silent watcher" as i never really comment on any videos that I watch and I know that's not the best. But blimey, I've blasting comments left and right these days. Just makes me happy that i could share my thoughts down here😃

    I genuinely could've weeped multiple points in this video. I am just so overwhelmingly happy for you guys. Watching someone for many years you start to root for their happiness and for them to reach their goals and dreams and I feel like now I'm watching you live your happiest lives.

  • @hazelrogers2455
    @hazelrogers2455 Год назад +1

    choosing your battles as a parent as somethings are just not worth arguing about when they start to push the boundaries . Being on the same page when he was a teenager was essential and in full battle mode . Ottilie is adorable

  • @conniekirk2929
    @conniekirk2929 Год назад

    My youngest daughter who is about to turn 2 fell asleep on my chest for the first time since she was a newborn the other day and it made me realise how much I missed those sleepy chest cuddles like you were saying 🥹
    I also agree with Zoe when she said she would want to go back in time to when Ottie was a newborn but without postpartum. I would do this with both my girls in a heart beat if I could because my recoveries were brutal and I definitely didn’t get to enjoy them being tiny newborns as much I wanted to because of the pain/recovery/PPA. Being a parent has also made me realise how fast time goes and no matter what we have to enjoy every moment, even the hard ones. Love you guys and Ottie is just so gorgeous 💗💗

  • @JoiJumayao

    So wild to see you doing a Q&A and then your little Ottie pops in or humming a song in the background. It’s just so cooool! The evaluation of Alfie Deyes Vlogs 😂🫶🏽

    I’m pregnant with my second I totally agree with your answers, I’m constantly I’ll (I do have a suppressed immune system due to having akidney transplant and I work in a school) but my daughter constantly gets colds! It does go quickly and I’ve said I’m really going to enjoy the first few months probably this time rather than worrying about it all! Great video!

      Helps when kids have a village around them and chilled parents
      I'm jealous if I'm honest I spend so much time worrying about money and not doing enough or providing enough that I'm not present and we're lacking a village ! She's doing amazing and it makes me sad I'm failing both of my kids 2 and 6 both struggling with speech

    Maybe 6 vlogs ago, you talked about the 30 second rule you read about. If you can do it in 30 seconds, do it now. I had a similar kind of rule, but it was more like don’t be lazy, just do it. Adopting your phrasing has been so helpful- less negative on myself, more positive. I feel more accomplished getting the little things done. Thank you for that, it’s improved my life.

    Gosh Alfie.... It's been long since i started follwing your and zoe's contents and because of that to this day i perceived you as the exact same person i loved watching all those years ago. You and Zoe having Ottlie did not change that perception whatsoever and just then in the video you said "I'm gonna be biased because I'm her dad" and something about that very sentence absolutely changed the way i perceive you completely. You're a dad! A bloody great one at that though. Just thought that you saying to be her dad changed everything but also nothing; felt like it flippped a switch in my brain. if that makes sense lol. Love Ottlie and dontcha worry, you're gonna be a cool one!!

      The day-by-day pregnancy book by Dr Maggie Blott. My partner read the page of the day to me every night in bed. Was great for him as well as myself to find out what was happening to my body each day as the pregnancy progressed and to know how baby was developing, and nice to do together. Congratulations Lauren! So exciting!
