(upbeat music)
- I love you baby.
- [Jessica] (laughing) That's really sweet.
- I love you baby, you're so cute.
This is gonna be amazing.
I'm going to paint him and it's going to be super exciting.
- [Jessica] You're gonna paint him?
What do you mean?
- Like paint your tummy so I can paint,
it's like painting your tummy and then we're done.
- [Jessica] That'll be fun.
- Hi little guy, I love you so much.
I can't wait to see you, you're awesome.
- I love you so much and I hope that
when you get older you see this message,
and you know what I mean.
And I love you, I can't wait to get presents for you,
and I love you!
- So we're gonna have a big shopping trip today.
This is a family tradition of ours where we take
the kids to the store and they get to pick out
a little present for their baby, for his birthday,
because when he's born at the hospital it's his birthday.
So (chuckles), it's just one of the things
we do to encourage the kids to celebrate
and get excited about their new sibling.
Okay guys, what are you thinking for your baby?
- I don't know yet, I'm just gonna look.
I'm gonna get him something good.
- I'm thinking I might get him
some baby toys or a Duplo.
- [Jessica] Nice, what are you thinking?
What do you want to get for the baby?
- A present!
- [Jessica] A present, that's a good idea.
What kind of present?
- Boxes!
I have food, baby food.
- [Jessica] You have baby food, yeah that's baby food.
But what do you want to get for the baby, not for Duncan?
- Ball.
- [Jessica] A ball?
Let's go see if they have any balls
that are good for baby sizes, okay?
- There's a ball over there.
- [Jessica] Okay.
- I'm gonna get him a sloth.
- [Jessica] That's really cute.
- Little Baby Monkey Joe here.
(Jessica laughs)
It's Baby Monkey Joe.
- [Jessica] (laughing) Will that be cute for the baby
to have this and you have your Monkey Joe,
and then the baby has this little one?
That's a fun idea Jacob.
Aww. - Baby and Mommy Monkey Joe.
- Can I have that one?
- [Bailey] Do you want to get that for the baby?
- No.
This is mine.
This is...
For the new baby.
- [Jessica] So Jacob you're okay with
not doing your Duplo plan?
- Yeah, I'm okay. - Take this one.
- [Jessica] Well that belongs to Target, but it's cute.
- Or you can get it for the baby.
Do you want the baby to have it and you can share?
(lighthearted guitar music)
- [Jessica] Hmm, I don't know how well he's
gonna do sharing, okay.
Good boy, is that for the baby?
What a good big brother!
High five!
- [Bailey] Can you give it to the baby?
- [Jessica] You want to give it to him right now?
- [Jacob] Can I give him a crib?
- [Jessica] Aww Duncan.
I think he likes it.
Aww.
- So Duncan look, this one can be Duncan,
and this one is baby.
- [Jessica] That's a fun idea.
Do you like that Duncan?
- No, I'm this one.
- [Jessica] You're the little one,
and your new baby is this one?
(laughter)
Sure.
I keep hoping daddy is gonna get on that.
We don't have a rocker yet.
It comes out too, right?
Does it show, oh, $329.
(laughing) You have big plans Bailey?
- No, I want to buy it?
- [Jessica] Look it has these different fabrics too.
Oh whoa, Jacob figured it out.
- I didn't do anything.
- [Jessica] I think you just leaned back.
- Okay.
- [Jessica] Is it nice?
Does it rock when it's out like that?
Are you stuck?
- I'm stuck.
- [Jessica] You're stuck?
Okay, let me help.
Oh, now you're gonna get really stuck.
Okay, I think we ought to get out of here dude.
- Oh got it. - Oh nice.
- Oh, it comes with a llama.
- No it doesn't (laughing). - It comes with a llama.
- [Jessica] Seems complicated.
I don't know, you guys--
- Oh! - Oh!
Is that really the handle thing, that's so weird?
- But it doesn't close it.
- No, you gotta close it with your muscles.
I actually think those muscles
that would be needed for me to close the chair,
won't be super reliable on my part
at that stage in my life.
I think those muscles will be needed a break.
So that might not be the chair,
that was the one we were kind of set on
but it's getting points against.
- I'm this one.
- [Jessica] You're that one, very cute.
- He's my best buddy.
- [Jessica] Aww (laughing).
♪ When the wind blows ♪
- [Jessica] Oh, interesting example.
Thank you. (Bailey laughing)
Kind of weird, I don't know how I feel about this.
(laughter)
♪ Come baby ♪
- [Jessica] Is it working?
Is it a good chair, solid build?
- Perfect for one baby, and a nice loving mommy.
- [Jessica] Aww it does, it looks perfect.
♪ Rock a bye baby. ♪
- All right (laughing).
So Duncan and Jacob have picked something out
but Bailey we're still waiting on you and Parker.
What do you want dude?
- I don't know yet (yawning).
- [Jessica] You're a sleepy head.
- My dad woke me up.
- Because you slept for hours past everybody else.
- I only slept 'til nine.
- (laughing) Bailey is growing up so much,
she's going into hiber--
- The baby got a little bear!
- All right Bailey is going into the
hibernation mode of preteen teenagerness.
She's a sleepyhead all the time.
(Duncan chattering excitedly)
Thank you for your contribution Duncan.
- Yeah, let's do the dance moves.
Launch a bay doda doo doo.
- [Jessica] All right you don't have a comfy bath sponge.
- [Bailey] Or a Blooming Bath Lotus.
- [Jessica] We don't have a Blooming Bath Lotus.
- If they have any Harry Potter baby stuff,
they probably don't but if they do I'm getting it.
- [Jessica] There's a Harry Potter baby blanket
on the market but you have to buy it online.
(Parker yelling excitedly)
Yeah, you loved that.
(toy playing cheerful music)
All right Jacob.
(Duncan humming)
Bailey, (laughing) Bailey's being soothed.
It works on her.
Do you want to get this for the baby instead of
what you got or Bailey do you want to get this?
You seem like you like it.
- I don't know, I still wanna look more.
I wonder if they have a forest one like I used to have.
- [Jessica] Yours was a fish one.
- Is this the turtle?
- [Jessica] Yeah, that's the turtle.
- What's this?
- [Jessica] What do you think that is?
- A fish.
- [Jessica] It's an octopus.
- What's this? - It wasn't the forest--
- [Jessica] What do you think that is?
- A crab.
- [Jessica] That's right it's a crab!
- What's this?
- [Jessica] That's called a submarine.
- What's this?
- [Jessica] Can you remember what it's called?
What is it?
- A octopus.
- [Jessica] That's right.
- What's this?
- [Jessica] Do you remember what it is?
What is it? - A crab.
- [Jessica] That's right.
- What's this?
- [Jessica] Remember what that's called?
What? - A boat.
- [Jessica] It's a kind of a boat, it's called a submarine.
Can you say submarine?
- Submarine.
- [Jessica] That's right.
- Let's keep this in the cart 'cause
I might want to buy it.
- [Jessica] Okay, stick it in there.
- Can I kiss the baby?
- [Jessica] Sure.
(lips smacking Jessica's stomach)
Aww, your baby loves that.
- Well with Duncan and with Parker
I've both gotten them toothbrushes,
so I think I'm gonna get this Orajel's toothpaste.
- That's such a good idea Bailey.
This is so sweet.
Bailey is right, she gets them a toothbrush every time.
Last time she got the banana one for Duncan.
What did you get for Parker, was it a shark?
I feel like it was a shark.
- Yeah, I think it was a shark.
I might get him a Bumbo instead 'cause
Duncan didn't get a Bumbo last time,
and I feel like he would've wanted it.
- Maybe, yeah.
Look at these fancy Bumbos they've got now.
I kind of like the simplicity of the Bumbo
'cause you just like pop 'em in.
But this is pretty cool too.
So I will say a Bumbo or a baby seat is awesome.
I feel like the more kids we have
the more people constantly want to hold the baby.
So I don't know if we'll be putting
the baby down in a Bumbo.
- Yeah probably not.
- That's why I'm like (laughing),
I used it a lot when Christopher wasn't home from work.
And when he was gone and then I didn't
have anybody else to help me hold the baby,
like if I need to put the baby down for a second.
But now I feel like everybody's gonna
be constantly attached to him.
We've got so many people who are
going to be loving him so much.
Ooh, I found some balls.
Duncan would you rather get him that instead of the toy?
'Cause I know you wanted to get the baby balls right?
Well do you want to get this for him
or do you want to get this one?
- This one.
- [Jessica] You want that one, so we'll put this away?
- Yeah.
- [Jessica] Okay, say bye bye.
I think, yeah, Bailey might get that for him, I don't know.
- [Bailey] Yeah.
- [Jessica] We'll put this guy back.
Say, bye bye sloth.
- Bye bye sloth.
How about this one?
- [Jessica] Yeah, let's get him the whole thing, okay?
- How about this?
- [Jessica] Yeah, we can get that for your baby.
- I want this one.
- [Jessica] Yeah, he'll love that.
- No this, I keep it.
- [Jessica] No, it's not for Duncan, it's for your brother.
It's a present for your baby.
- It's both of baby.
- [Jessica] Oh, it's sharing?
Hmm.
- Your baby love this one?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
- I love this one?
- [Jessica] You can love that one
but it would be a present for your baby.
- Oh.
- [Jessica] And you could sing "Happy Birthday" to him.
Want to sing "Happy Birthday"?
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
- [Jessica] Yeah!
♪ Happy birthdaaayyy ♪
- So Parker and I had to get haircuts today.
So we showed up a little bit after and now
we're going to pick out Parker's gift to the baby.
- [Jessica] Hey Parker.
- Hi.
- [Jessica] Wow, lightning bolt hair!
Let me see this side.
Oh my goodness, you are too cool!
What do you think Parker, did you like it?
- I like this.
- [Jessica] (laughing) That's cool!
Well right now, you're picking out a present
for your baby brother to give him for when he's born.
- If I get this for him, can he share with me?
- [Jessica] (chuckles) This is the same question
Duncan's been having.
- [Chris] This says three and up.
Three and up, you see that?
Three plus, that means it's not for a newborn baby,
which is what you're shopping for right now.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just saying what I want from my birthday.
(Jessica laughs)
- [Chris] Okay, that's not why we're here.
- [Parker] I know.
- [Jessica] Let's look for things more in the baby area.
This is nine months, you could get him nine months.
- What is this?
- [Jessica] This is six months.
Why don't we get something more for like when he's born?
Look, this is more for babies, see this area?
You don't have to do toys, you could do anything.
- I want to do a toy.
- [Jessica] Okay, that could be fun,
that would be so much fun on his little car seat.
- Yeah, that's really cute.
(laughing) It's cuter with this baby.
- [Jessica] Yeah, the baby really sells it.
- I think I'm gonna get this.
- [Jessica] Okay.
- I think it's a good gift 'cause
he can hang it onto his car seat in these ways--
- [Jessica] Oh that's silly.
- And I also think, he also can go like this,
he can also play with it by himself.
- Try me.
(toy mechanically buzzing)
- So one thing I really like about
this shopping trip especially with like
two or three year old or older siblings
is that it really begins the discussion
of a new person is happening,
and it's not all about you young tot.
Duncan especially is going through this total
mind phase and having trouble with sharing,
and just all of that.
And I'm glad that we're able to be like,
"No, this is for the baby."
It's not perfect, he's not gonna get it all in one day.
But it's just really beginning that concept for him
and having a tangible item that's like,
"That's not for you dude."
And then also replacing that want
with the joy of giving and having that.
And Parker's got it a little bit.
I think mostly just because he sees presents and stuff,
and he's like "Wait, where's my present.
"I want some stuff too."
We can talk about it and it's nice.
I appreciate this time to begin that discussion
and start those sentiments.
So that was a great success,
we got the presents from everybody.
This baby's coming so soon, this month.
I'm really glad we got all that stuff,
now we have to figure out a car seat.
I don't have a car seat but you know, you know.
We got a lot done today and I got
some grocery shopping done too, so multi-tasking.
(Duncan giggling) (soft guitar tone)
