In case you are interested.....I use this description for baby and pet eliminations...if No. 1, I refer to it as Little business.....No. 2 or what you have referred to as blowouts, I started calling Big business. Example: letting my sister's dog out and I reported to her that he did some Big business....it got the point across and I quit gagging us that have delicate constitutions☺️. This works well when describing baby's regularity or irregularties. My grandson had very little business happening until after dinner....then there was some Big business and he was doing much better. That's helped our family stay in a much better and cleaner frame of thought ☺️. Don't know if you've heard this before but it gives another option (saw you turn a little red on RUclips and wanted to share how I got over that). God Bless your Beautiful family.... you're doing Great!
Katie- This is what you need to pray over: your strange thoughts about Wanting Hailey loving you more than Travis.
Where is this meanness coming from???
Why are you competitive with your husband and father of your child??
Did your mother love you more than your father?
Something is very off with you.
You need counseling and prayer to understand why you are hurting Travis like this.
When you married you had certain immaturities that are popping up again now-
You keep saying if Hailey loves Mommy more than daddy-
THIS IS VERY unkind and IMMATURE.
You need to deal with these thoughts before she understands you and before you have any more kids.
@@melanie18white Katie's quips were obviously said in jest - as Travis' amused reaction confirmed. Good-humored, lighthearted banter is a fun way of interacting for lots of couples. However, their exchange clearly hit a nerve with you, and just something to think about - often, when we have a strong reaction to something in someone else, upon reflection, we can see it has very little to do with the other person, but triggers an intensity of feeling because it hits too close to home for us. And while it can be uncomfortable, the mature response is to examine our reactions and use them as opportunities for personal growth and to become kinder, more empathic towards others.
I’m new to your channel and I love watching you guys! Such a sweet innocence about you both and genuine love for the Lord. Thanks for sharing your life with the world ❤
By the looks of that baby y'all are doing great as parents. She looks so content. Thanks for sharing her with us!
If my two cents count, I'd say, space out the pregnancy 2 years at least. You'll do your body and marriage a favor to let your hormones and body recuperate in between. If not, it can take a toll on you physically, mentally, and affect your family when mom is exhausted. The kids will get along just fine being a couple years apart and there are also benefits of having one a little older. May God guide your family in this matter. Love to you all.
My kids have gaps and they get along great. 3 years is great
@@amclaudetMy first was 3 and it helped loads as well they have so much more independence than a baby.
I feel 3 years is a little much. I agree, 2 , 2 1/2 is perfect, especially if you are only having 2
My two cents, spacing kids 2 1/2yrs. 3 yr. Is good over all. You will only have one in diapers and they will be more independent, less stress for parents.
Mine are 17 months apart I got pregnant with my second when my first was 8 months. I felt really ready and wanted to have another baby again and It wasn’t as hard as everyone made it seem. Of course there was hard moments but overall it wasn’t that hard. I would say my birth postpartum and breastfeeding was way easier with the second one. And now they are best friends. I think if you feel that your body is ready then you can get pregnant before two years. But of course everyone is so different it’s different for everyone
Katie and Travis you are awesome parents.. Hailey is adorable.. Love seeing your videos.. Keep up the fantastic job your both doing..
You guys are the best parents everrrrr and Haley is the sweetest little one everrrr. Deb from ky.
We have a kia minivan n love it. Just 1 problem in 3 1/2 yrs n 50+ miles put on. It sees alot of highway traveling @ 2000 miles 2-3 times a yr to see family. Never thought i would like a minivan but kia is 1 that is nice to get in the back seat for adults if you need to.
Mini vans are great! And it’s like having a small truck for hauling when you can put all the seats down. I ran a home day care for over 35 years and had vans. Now I still like my van. I can easily transport grandchildren and friends! And I love being able to see the road better. I feel unsafe in smaller cars now! So much better to not feel closed in when you have more than one kid in the vehicle!
Anyway, you guys are such a cute little family!
Katie and Travis, you two are wonderful as individuals, a couple and as parents. You both ARE young, lol, but are dialed in to your lives and your future. You both are breaths of fresh air, which is so refreshing!
So kind! Thanks, Teresa! :)
@@TravisandKatie1 I just wanted to say that I'm an older woman but my niece has six kids and they are really close in age and they are so close and do everything together.. Hailey is getting so big and she favors you both❤️
She is adorable just like her Mommy and Daddy! ❤️
You are awesome parents! Enjoy it they grow so fast
Travis is right, the closer in age the better the bond.
I’m 10 month’s postpartum and still have the belly. I do have 4 kids though.
Research diastacis recti. That will help with pulling your stomach muscles back together. Your sisters look amazing postpartum so hopefully that’ll be you too😍
Nothing wrong with marrying young and having your children. We did ,and like you said we grew together,best experience ever. Nothing is ever perfect but faith, trust ,love ,compassion and good communication is key.
Never feel bad about going on dates and leaving Haley with gramma! Don’t lose your identity as individuals and as a husband and wife! Having children is beautiful but making time for you guys, will make the two of you even better parents, because you’ll be happier and more relaxed! God bless the three of you and your loved ones in Jesus name, amen!❤
Travis, when will you have a new single out? 🙂 I listen to your songs and the Clark Family daily.
As far as parenting, you both know what's best for your family, or you'll learn as you go along. I have 8 children (2 months- age 12). Every child is different and every family is too.
Y'all are doing great and I love watching your videos. They are very relatable.
Love his music!
Did u guys ever come to Lakewood NJ? Are u ever going to come visit??!!❤❤❤😊
Katie I have watched your family since u were on the duggars show united Bates of America and bringing up Bates miss the show glad so many of you all have utube channels Hailey is adorable
Katie, I said I’d never have a mini van. I got a Honda one and would never want anything else ever… not kidding. I always get them in white with all the bells and whistles. They’re sharp, easiest I’ve ever driven for vehicles. Get one soon. You’ll be screaming happy you did.
You have the cutest family! I love your videos! Thanks for sharing a peak into your lives
Hailey is the cutest baby girl I have ever seen 😍
And you are the best parents for her ❤️
God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Your daughter is beautiful, and I think she looks like Travis's Mom !
RememberJesus will always watch over you,Travis,Katie and Hailey😊 ❤
Cute video 😍😍😍
You should do a family and share that would be so cute💕💕
Travis dose excellent video of this lovely family
I look for video every week!! Travis and Kate are excellent person to Hailey!!!❤❤
Haley is so adorable what a beautiful family always
Such a beautiful family been watching since bates you are amazing love your youtube xx
Travis!! I finally figured out why Katie calls Hailey “ Hailey Bug “ it’s because it sound a lot like “ Lady Bug “ they kinda rhyme, it’s very cute I love it!
I never thought i would ever like a mini van but we rented one for vacation one year and it was NICE!!! Got great gas mileage and had so many features like auto door open and close and hatch. Nice when you got your hands full and can just press a button. The amount of space especially with the seats folding down. I didnt want to return it when we got back from vacation after i said i would never own one 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Hailey looks so much like Travis. She is adorable...
I just love watching Hailey. She's so adorable ❤
Most beautiful family 😍❣️❤️
We love you guys ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
Vans might bring flashbacks Katie to learning to drive in one😄
Yes 😂😂😂
I remember watching the show and she drove the van with Lawrence. I would have took Zack
@@bethpittsiirjdjdb1028
Who is Lawrence?
Sorry it was spell wrong .Lawson is Katie brother.
@@bethpittsiirjdjdb1028
I know who Lawson is , I was confused by Lawrence. 😁
Haley is so beautiful, love watching your videos, First time watching,
Yal are Adorable!❤
My first two are 14 months apart. My last two are 5 years apart. Both are easy and hard in different ways.
Hailey is sooo cute!!!
She is getting big!
Katie, you are beautiful ❤️ Take it easy on yourself.
Love watching you from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Haley is looking more and more like Travis..so cute...that dark hair..
Hello to you all ❤Haillee is absolutely adorable 🥰
Hailey is so cute!!!💖Love u guys!!❤
Hailey is so cute! I love watching ya'll guys videos!
I had my 2 children close (15mos) apart by accident..looking back it was a difficult 2-3yrs😮😮. Wouldn't do it again if I had the chance for a do over! BUT everyone is different some might think it was great for themselves. Just saying 😊
Idk if this is just me but I was shocked when I found out that Travis is from New Jersey I really thought he was from Texas or Alabama or a southern state just cause it sounds like he has a southern accent especially when he sings 😂also I love you guys and I’m a big fan ❤
My first two were a year apart. I would do it all over again. Several years apart they are always want you to play with them. Two close together they have each other and are more content. Definitely one year is a little close. In our case we had fertility issues, so when we finally had the first one, we decided to try right away for the second. The third one was 5 years later. Should have been two years . Takes too long to give the reasons.
Oh so you are in New Jersey with your husband’s side of family. Cool
Your so cute all 3 of you ❤❤❤😊
You’re so sweet ☺️
Just my opinion but a 2 year age gap is good. Having only a year apart brings its problems. The biggest one that I found was they (1 year apart) took longer to find their own individual identity, they were not quick to branch out in school and find their own individual friends (which is important), and it was difficult to give each one enough attention individually. They were like twins. Each child brings their own personality, their own needs, etc and it was hard to make sure they were both getting the same amount of parent time, and the right amount of time away from each other so they could grow as individual children. 2 years apart helps because school puts them just far enough away from each other to find their own strengths, likes, dislikes, interests, their own group of friends etc. With only one year, I found the younger of the 2 was a little slower branching out on his own because the older one always made all the decisions and the younger would adoringly just go along with everything. Just some thoughts to ponder. Funny you mentioned the Tesla. They are very small, but I thought about those beautiful white seats before Hailey was even born. I thought "oh my, they surely have never had a toddler in a car LOL". Toddlers make a car a mess for a few years (or more as they are 5,6,7). Remember to not get white seats when you get a new car, or get car seat covers that can be washed. As parents you are doing a great job. You very smoothly and quickly fell into parenting rhythm. Lastly, Hailey is so beautiful and clearly loved very deeply. Which one of you had red hair as a baby? :)
Hi,
Thanks for sharing I had 3 girls.
❤Love you guys❤
As a physician and a mom, I recommend at least 2 years. The body needs time to recover, you need to consider the stage your older child is in when pregnant, and 2 or 3 years (or 4 like mine!) gives you a chance to really enjoy that toddler time with each child. 15 to 18 month old toddlers keep you really busy just keeping them from falling off things, pulling everything off shelves, etc, so having a newborn at the same time is really stressful and physically exhausting for the mom. Exactly 2 can be challenging emotionally for the 2 year old because they’re at a developmental age where sharing parental attention is particularly hard. Just being a little older, so 30 months old can make a difference for being able to share attention more easily (although it’s always tough to adjust for the older child, no matter the age difference!) Also, the time does fly and having the kids in a burst means before you know it, they’re all grown up and spacing kids out means you can really enjoy and be there for each kid’s milestones. And whatever works out for your family will work out! Enjoy little Hailey and those cuddly snuggles!
Potty Trained First
🌻❤️🕊👏
Where will be haleys first vacation be?
Ocean city next month 🥰
I went to Catholic school from 4-18! Where I live Catholic schools are the better schools more funding! The ones I went to were the best in town!
Love it
great couple
All my kiddos are 2 years apart and it was the best for us. 🤍
I think Katie is right to want a three year gap for another baby. It will be much easier and less stressful, from experience, i'd have four years lol. Xxx
Haley is so adorable i can not get over it. and she has the best parents.
I can see she's starting to show her own personality to the world but whom ever she truly takes after she will definitely be who God made her to be
I homeschool my kids. We go to a homeschool co-op every week. There are over 100 kids from babies through 12th grade seniors. We do academic and fine arts classes. We also get together with the co-op friends for other events or parties frequently. Best thing ever.
Us too. It’s awesome. Ours is pretty big like that too
Breastfeeding in public gets easier the more you do it. Using a thin cover allows privacy but not too hot for baby. Seriously it becomes second nature after a while. I’ve nursed 4 babies. I was a bit nervous with my first trying to keep everything decent. But honestly after a while you learn how to maneuver by feel and instinct. ❤
Our kids are spaced 2-3 years apart and it is great. That way your toddler is a little more independent and closer to potty training. They play well together and know how to interact with kids of any age because of our range of ages. Give your body time to heal and replenish. Enjoy your time with each little babe! 🤗💕
Gorgeous family!! Hailey is such and adorable baby 🤍I love you guys so much, may God bless you🥰
Thank you!!
You guys are doing great as parents and it's obvious how much you love each other and how much you both love Hailey. There are no perfect parents, you'll make endless mistakes as you go, but you both have amazing examples in your own parents. You've got this y'all!! 🙂 And congratulations to Kayla on the birth of her new little boy!! 🥰
I have 4.5yrs between my kids and they’re best of friends/so close. It’s not the age gap it’s how you parent them, so don’t worry about that.
Please breastfeed in public if you want to. It’s the most natural thing in the world. Ignore the prudes! So much extra work to pump and feed. Save yourself the trouble.

As a mom of 4 in 5 years. Space them out! It gives you time with each one and gives you time to train them in church, stores, resturant, ect.
Lol. 2-3 years is not too close. Two years is good. If further apart the older one doesn’t always want the younger one around. This is my experience anyway. Definitely pray!
Own your new body .The one before the baby was your teen/young women body like a young flower that is not quiet fully bloomed. Now your body is a complete bloomed flower. You have earned it, and it is only weeks out. Be gentle with yourself motherhood is a gift that will hold a big bow on it forever.
Y’all know what? ALL first-time parents ( especially You Mom) have to learn things to do with that first baby on your own. Yes- we all may not do things like others BUT it’s so OK!❤. It’s a learning process and you BOTH have amazing Godly families as examples. She’s adorable and the FIRST so don’t be too hard on yourselves. You cannot answer all those questions yet. Just enjoy all this time with your precious Hailey. Each child is a gift from God so making time with EACH one is worth it. Thanks for letting us get a glimpse into your lives. I’m a Mom of 3 and a Mawmaw to 6. I LOVE where I am now in life And am soo thankful for the memories in the past and raising our children. I’m a retired Christian school teacher who now. - late in life works in our family business from home. You two just pray about each decision in your lives & I promise you God will take care of the rest. Much LOVE from NC❤
Don’t do that “who’s your favorite Mom or Dad”. The baby should see you as one like Katie’s Mom and Dad.
Personally I think that no one should ever tell someone how many kiddos you should have. I had 5 in 6 years and that was perfect for our family. I actually wanted 6-8 but God gave us 5 which was perfect. You two are doing an amazing job thanks for sharing your sweet family with us. God Bless you all ❤
Darlings, really surprised your doctor didn't reassure you that a breast fed baby can go a week or more without a BM. There's no need for juice, nature dictates that breast milk is often fully absorbed and has no waste so no BM. If you have gallons of milk and you breast feed exclusively (no bottles) there can be up to 8-10 BMs a day. Believe it or not your supply will not be as good when you pump a lot. Only feeding directly from the breast will stimulate supply to its maximum. Anyway, hope that reassured you, it's very rare for exclusively breast fed babies to get constipated. As far as the bottles, most people can feed discretely wherever they are so don't be embarrassed. Convenience isn't bottles, it's breast lol. Always available, always the right temperature, literally on tap.
First time watching you all very cute family she is very cute baby
I am homeschool our 4 kids, they r 15&13,6&1, ☺️I run a coop w 2 other moms n this fall we will have 200 kids, it’s totally possible to socialize n have activities n they can play sports w local school teams too 👍
You guys are so blessed and adorable!!! ❤
TRAVIS!! When you have the next baby is definitely Katie's choice- you try feeling sick for 9 months! Please don't harrass her into having one sooner than she wants to. Other than that you areaz lovely little family and i love keeping up with you.
Amen! Can’t imagine being pressured like that😬
If I was a young nursing mother I wouldn't nurse out in public for nothing knowing all the pedophilers that are all over... And you just had the baby your body will go back to normal soon, trust me.. give your body time,😊 You're both amazing parents❤
Travis, dude, do you really think anyone enjoys changing poopy diapers? Hint, the more you change the easier it gets. 😉😁
Hailey is absolutely adorable!!! She looks just like her daddy!!! Beautiful family!!! Been following alone for about 1year!!! This video was so much fun!!! Love y'alls videos!!! Love y'all too!!! ❤️
Aww, thanks for being here, Ashley!
Oh my goodnes she does so much look like Travis's mom❤❤❤ she is already a utube star very observant of the camera. So sweet she is going to be a little diva just like cousin Layla.looking 😊😊😊
There's a big homeschool community! My children are homeschooled and play sports, apart of clubs and co-ops, and church activities. They also have plenty of friends. Nothing against Christian schools. I am just offering insight that your child can be homeschooled and still have all those things.
I homeschool and my kiddos are in a huge homeschool sports organization here in Indiana. There may be something like that for you guys in Jersey! 😃
I’m with Travis. My first two are 11 months apart (16,15) and it was amazing!! My next is now 10 and then we have a 3 year old. The gaps are sooo hard. The boys always had each other and my girls have always been solo on playing. Definitely close and done. Plus being a younger parent was amazing. So much more energy.
I encouraged my girls to get part-time jobs in high school and college and it was such a great experience for them. They learned so much about responsibility and interactions with different people. The life lessons were invaluable and I think it has helped them in their professional careers.
We did the same with our son. He was the only one of his friends to work a job in high school. It was about 15 hrs a week after school. Now, he gives money /saving advice to all his friends.
I agree with part time work in HS but they will have to pick one sport so they don’t crash & burn.
You both were raised by such good parents. What a great foundation to build your parenting skills on for raising Haley.
Katie, your beautiful! You don't want to look like a stick too thin is not healthy or pretty!!! Much Blessing to you three and Family❤P.S.i'm from N.J.beautiful state!!! Would welcome you with open arms!
How old where u 2 when u got married?
It’s ok to nurse in public 😊 If someone doesn’t like it, oh well! You don’t have to hide or find a secluded place.
Love the Hailey Bug , I have a Lillie Bug and my husband laughs at me every time! By the way I think you will have 5 kids.
This video was so much fun!!! Not gonna lie, I LOL'd and rewound 3 times when Hailey filled her diaper. Loudly! And the look on both of your faces was hilarious! Sorry, but it was. 🤣😂🍼 #parentlife
We were laughing with you!!! 😂🤣
It takes a whole year for a woman to recovery from giving birth. Give yourself grace.
A good 2-3 years before the next child. I understand pregnancy sickness, I had severe hyperemesis.
I'm with you Katie I love SUVs and nor mini vans. I have hard time driving a van compared to a van. #shortpeopleproblems.
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Wednesday evening and night with baby Hailey and can't believe she is 2 and a half months old and she is so cute and adorable.
She’s growing up so fast 🥹 thanks for following along 😊
I have 5 children under 5( 5, twins at 4, 3 and 1 year old) yes it's hard but my goodness it's so much fun. My husband is a great help and I wouldn't change anything for anything.
I always said no minivan and we LOVE our Honda Odyssey. We started thinking about #2 around my oldest son's first birthday and they're 22 months apart and they absolutely love each other.
