Spoiler alert.
Are you ready for a behind the scenes
look at the latest episode?
Make sure you're all caught up on the new season
of "Little People, Big World."
TORI: Come on, mister.
ZACH: Go with, mama.
Mama.
Did you say mama?
I heard it.
I heard that too.
I heard mama.
Can you say mama?
When Jay finally said mama, it was definitely like--
I loved it.
He'd been saying Dada his whole existence.
So it was nice to finally hear my name come out of his mouth.
Now, he can't stop.
Yeah.
Now, it's just, mama.
He'll wake up in the morning.
Mama, mama, mama.
Mama, mama.
I love it though.
Even now, I love it.
He started like not calling everything dada and kind
of realizing that like there's names
to other objects and things.
Come on.
ZACH (VOICEOVER): You could say, go here, follow me.
TORI (VOICEOVER): Like he understands a lot
more than he says, for sure.
There's just times when you would just
like see him and be like, whoa, he, like, just
got better at walking, like--
Yeah.
He's kind of like, oh, you know, giraffe that just come
out, just wobbling everywhere.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
And then, one day, it's like, whoa,
you just have like another--
like you just have more strength.
It's like those-- it's honestly like little moments
that, like, parents as-- we as parents we're like, whoa.
That's so cool.
He was a daddy's boy for a long time.
TORI (VOICEOVER): He was.
ZACH (VOICEOVER): His first birthday.
Even still, like when he gets--
he goes to us for different reasons.
Like if he's nervous or scared, I think he comes to me,
like at church, when he's shy.
Yeah.
Because you're like lower to the ground for him to like
be able to grab onto.
There's that like closer like security net there.
But then--
And then, he goes to me when he's hungry.
When he's hungry.
Or he needs a diaper change.
Yeah.
TORI (VOICEOVER): I think he likes going with Zach
more though too, which is good.
I think, like, Zach always is doing projects.
He's always doing stuff around the house, where
Jay is like, you need my help.
Like tell me where you need me.
One of the cutest things in the world
is if like he senses that we're doing something without him,
he'll come in like--
Hot.
Like I'm here.
You can dig in now.
Surely you did not start without me.
Cause that would just be insane. - Yeah.
You know?
If I'm making a fire, he'll come down those steps so fast
and be like--
Where am I needed?
Dad, I'm here. OK.
What are we doing?
Yeah.
I agree with this plan.
Carry on. You know?
Yeah.
My dad just straight up says, oh, he's
miles ahead of where you are.
You had a lot of things wrong though.
You had a shunt at 18 months.
I didn't start walking til I was like three
or two and a half or something.
So I think I was way behind.
And I had speech therapy growing up.
Like I think I was--
I was all over the place.
So Jackson's miles ahead.
Jackson's like a totally separate kid from me.
But Zach also had more like struggles though too.
You know, you had RSV and you had a shunt and dwarfism on top
of that and everything else. - Yeah.
So I had a couple of different things.
I was premature, because I was twins.
Yeah.
You know, so I had a couple--
Jeremy kicked you out too early and all
that sort of good stuff.
I was always like calm.
Jeremy was the one running around.
He would like run away.
He would just run out of the house or whatever.
He's playing with toys.
He would put powder all of our baby room.
And because I wasn't walking, I was always the one just kind
of sitting there watching him.
You're going to get in trouble.
You know?
I was-- I was quieter.
I was a mama's boy too.
Like I didn't like anyone holding me.
I like I knew if someone was holding me and wasn't mama.
TORI: Give her a kiss.
You're so good at that now.
Grandma loves Jackson.
I definitely want him to be more like confident
than I was growing up.
Like for me, I feel like I was always
climbing an uphill battle, socially, physically.
Just-- you just always feel like you're
climbing, because of your short stature,
just always trying to fit in always any situation.
Resilience has always been a big one since the beginning.
I've said, I hope he has a lot of resilience.
You know, I hope he has a good friend group early on.
I had a great friend group early on.
Those are still some of my best friends.
And that helped me and always gave me a place to go,
you know, socially and just at school, a safe, like, hang out,
you know?
You ready to catch him now?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Wow.
I miss the stage where he stayed still.
That was kind of nice, where you could, like, set him somewhere
and he like stayed there.
Yeah.
It was the stage where you could just
put him in his little like--
Rocker.
Rocker chair and like--
Like it's fun now.
Like we can do-- go and do things with him
now, which is more fun, but it also was kind of nice like if I
had to, like, pick something up or clean something,
it was kind of nice to just, like, set
him somewhere and then go do that and not be like,
mama, mama, mama.
Yeah.
He's fun now, because, yeah, you can do stuff.
You can walk around with. He has more desires.
TORI (VOICEOVER): He can play.
He's silly.
On the flip side, he has more desires.
So like he tolerates different things.
It's just not, oh, I'm cool.
He's like tolerant.
You know, whatever.
Like I'm good.
You know, now, he's, you know, I--
I don't want blueberries.
I want apples.
Or never mind.
I want blueberries.
