I love seeing how in love Marcus is with James! Nothing like a fathers love 💞 congrats on having such a big boy now 🥹

[@walaalsindi5426]

True! My husband keeps refusing the idea of having kids and it’s really taking a toll on me mentally but I’m trying to be patient with it even though we’ve been married for 4 years but I guess I waited this long might as well wait a little more 😅 hope my sanity doesn’t crack anymore than it already has while waiting.

[@FranklyTheyCallMeFrankie]

It’s a given when you’re a father. Seeing their reactions to things is priceless. My kid is my world too.

[@sofiaiwaszewicz4251]

this is so beautiful, cozy, homey and healthy!!!! it’s everything about a home i dream, i love the relationship you all guys have, so healthy again. Also i’ve been DREAMING about that charcuterie board 😍😍😍

[@laurajohnson3825]

Ummm hi this actually made me emotional watching. The clip that was musiced over just felt so comforting and happy. You don’t have to share these precious moments with us but you do and I can not tell you how beautiful it is to watch! I was just thinking “Wow this is probably a video that James will watch when he’s older and it’ll hit him just how immensely he is loved”. So special. Your videos give me so much hope for when I am a mom and wife. Thank you for sharing such memorable moments with us. 🫶🏼🥹

[@audsmithl]

I cannot get enough of James' curls. ADORABLE!!!

[@theflcwer]

oh remembered the day you guys post you were expecting to baby James and now he's 1🥺💛

[@Oneblessedhome]

I got so emotional at the end Kristin !!!! Happy Birthday sweet baby James 🥰😇

[@KenzandSan]

I can’t believe James is already 1, cheers to many more family celebrations. All the birthday looks so homemade and cute, loved the mushroom theme ❤️. Also where did you get your plaid dress? It’s so darling.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Kristin, you are the most loveliest soul. I teared up during James' birthday party montage. I am just over the moon for you and your beautiful, inspiring little family. Thank you for always sharing your walk to heaven with all of us. You, Marcus and James are so loved beyond description. 💛

[@bonnie.yarbrough]

Sweet James! I can’t believe he’s 1 ❤️🎉 It crazy that I started watching y’all right before you got married to Marcus. Now you’ve turned into not only a wonderful mom to James but just a beautiful person inside and out. Love watching your little family 💕💕

[@annikajonker661]

This video was so sweet, Kristin! Its wild to think that James is already ONE :) This year of post-partum has been a rollercoaster for you, and we are so thankful that you've been so real and transparent about it. I always feel like these videos are me listening to an older sister. Sending prayers your way Kristin, and happy birthday to James!!

[@gabyslifeAsYouKnowIt]

When your dad started singing “I got a banjo named James” I literally saw a bit of Owen’s personality. I loved that 🥹

[@courageouslykristen]

Not even my kid and I’m crying 🤣🤣🤣 You’re an amazing mom! Thank you for sharing about postpartum. You really help me mentally not feel alone❤️

[@lexi.huerta]

you are no joke literally the light of youtube ☀️ your videos are so cozy and wholesome that i can never get enough of them 🧡 xoxo much love to you and your family kristin 🌼

[@Sara_Sagee]

Can‘t believe he is already 1 🥹❤️🎉 His curly hair is so cute!

[@alyssawaitt6139]

I am 10 weeks now and barely surviving the first trimester so its so hard to even imagine feeling like myself again so it’s so good and hopeful to hear how well you’re doing! 🙏🏻

[@elizabethpritchard8908]

Hope you and baby are good!!! I’m 10 weeks pregnant ❤

[@stephanielake11]

Happy Birthday Month James!! Wishing you an abundance of happiness, love, laughter & excellent health!!🎉🎉🎉

[@sierraclaes1120]

gotta say the crown was so unbelievably cute on james! so adorable!!! 😩💕

[@uniquelady1234]

How is James already 1, wow, time flies, happy birthday to him ❤️

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

Y’all should get jelly cat all checked out/cleaned up and bring her home 😍 What a sweetieeeee pie! 🥰 Happy birthday Jamesy! 🥳💙

[@11dhiller]

They did! She’s just an outside/barn kitty!

[@tigggy123]

@@AbbyMcGuire23 That's true but it looks like she has shelter in their barn! A cat that's used to running around in the countryside will usually prefer that to an indoor lifestyle. Plus, they have their 2 golden retrievers! She might not like living with them.

[@taylorplaskowitz5763]

Wow, I can't believe that James is one. Happy Birthday James. I have been watching you guys since 2016.

[@lauraapryor]

Not me getting emotional thinking about how I’ll have a one year old in about a year 🥹 soooo cute Kristin! Thanks for letting us follow along with all the cuteness 🥰

[@carlamartinezjoy]

💕💕💕

[@jourdantoliver4310]

i cannot believe it’s been a year! you blossomed into the best mama

[@peytonjager4250]

This video made me so emotional, seeing how much love you all share is so fun to watch and through the whole video I was thinking about how James gets to look back one days and watch this. So special❤️

[@kylekinnare4143]

I feel so emotional watching your little family grow after all these years I've followed you. This video made me feel some type of way. i feel like i've been on such a long journey with you and it makes me so happy to see the joy james brings you!

[@kadeebrehmer]

My heart is so happy for you guys. Made me tear up seeing you and Marcus with James as he was eating his smash cake. Just such lovely people. Love you Kristin 💕

[@autumie24]

not me SOBBING at the montage 😭 My sweet little boy is 14 months old and I still get so emotional with how fast it all goes! James is such a sweetie boy! Congratulations on one year of parenting & happy birthday to prince James 💞

[@teetertotter5787]

So proud of you for taking care of your mental health. It's so important and healthy. Especially sharing your journey in a non-dramatic way is so refreshing.

[@KimberleyBrownJ]

What a beautiful celebration for James! It is so amazing to see how your lives have changed since the accident, such a blessing and so much to be thankful for. 💞

[@Erin_29]

Wow one year already!! It feels like you just had James!!! Time FLIES. Happy birthday James🥳

[@marissamadera3300]

I truly think this video is so special 😭 thank you for sharing with us Kristin! I loved seeing all your close friends and family be there and help out with the party and what not 💛 May God continue blessing you and all your family and friends! 🥰

[@averyrogers2523]

I actually sobbed at the end. You can feel the love in this family/friend group and it is so refreshing to see! Happy (late) Birthday James!!

[@elizabeth.cash.]

Happy Birthday to James! Do a 1 year video recapping the birth story!! 🥰🤍

[@StephanieInYourFace]

Ugh this made me emotional! Everyone did such a great job helping you, it looked beautiful. So happy for you xx happy birthday James!

[@Lottieloves287]

I so agree with you on therapy. I try to get everyone on it because it really is so helpful. It helped me introduce positive thought traits and how to cope with tough days/challenges.

[@hopefulwanderer4463]

Congratulations on one year postpartum and feeling yourself again ❤️ you're really such a kind person and inspire me to love the things I love. All the love to you and your future, Kristin

[@createanddaydream]

Happy 1st Birthday James! It is crazy how fast time flies! His hair is the best ever! I love how wonderful your family and friends are too. God Bless you all.

[@daniellemoore6324]

Wow this made me emotional. Y’all made such a precious baby boy who is now a one year old! I remember watching you and Marcus when you first started dating and now you guys are here. I’m so happy for all the blessings God brought you guys🤍 Thanks for sharing your life with us

[@celie6751]

kris. why did i start crying during the bday montage. ugh. happy 1 year of happiness w james.

[@oliviamccarthy3548]

Happy 1st Birthday James! 🥰 🍄 ❤️🤍 🍃🎈 What a sweet party! There’s something so special about a homemade birthday cake from mom. 💛 Mine did it for me, and now I do it for my girls! Thanks for sharing Kristin! 🙏

[@MSTiPPYx3]

Happy birthday to James! He is so cute, those eyes and curly hair. You’re such a good mama. Can you share your carrot cake recipe, please?

[@megan_1]

Everything turned out amazing for James' first birthday! 😍 You did such a great job Kristin! Love watching you and Marcus' journey as parents ❤ James is the cutest!

[@gwchk7]

Thank you Kristin for talking about mental health the way you do. Love from Italy 🇮🇹

[@shelbierin3557]

The sound of the cicadas and the crickets throws me back to growing up in Tennessee 🥹

[@elisabethedenx]

Absolutely cried my eyes out at the end🥹 Feel like I grew up with you watching your videos through the years, and now baby James is one🥹

[@tessjones5987]

! year old. Wow. James is so adorable. Your family really knows how to Cherish each special person. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

[@sofiaiwaszewicz4251]

we use to celebrate moms on birthdays especially if it’s the first born and i think it’s actually what makes the most sense when celebrating a person, so happy birthday of James to you too Kristin ♥️♥️

[@abbyc4086]

The montage at the end, Kristin 😭😭💖💖 so beautiful & sweet

[@Ohhhsopeachy]

Why am I crying watching this 🥹🧡 happy birthday James, this year went by so fast🥹🧡🎂

[@Chaiwithkaur]

James is so loved 😍💛 I hope one day I get to throw a cute party like this for my future baby 🤞❣️❣️

[@iamnotauser93ify]

Y’all had me in tears when you played the birthday song clip! Happy birthday James and you guys have an awesome community!

[@jjj626]

Ok that lil montage got me🥺🥹 I want a baby too in Gods perfect timing.. ty for sharing this kris!!

[@Positvelyrad12]

awwww i loved this vlog! your dad is the sweetest Kristin. I hope you know how lucky you are to have a dad as sweet and dedicated to your little family as he is (obvs your mom is ROCKSTAR) but, i guess i love to see your dad interact with the fam because I lost my sweet dad a year ago this august. (i'm 28 with just a bf & no babies or a ring yet..) And boy do I just feel immense love for your family, seeing how happy you all are to have one another. CONGRATS JAMES ON THE BIG ONE YEAR, you are a lucky and lovely boy

[@jamieashton7285]

Happy Birthday James 🥳🥳🍩🍩

[@simplysophiagrace.]

Awww happy birthday to James!!! So cute 🤍🥹

[@samfiore1568]

Needed this talk today 💕 Can’t believe James is 1! How special was this vlog!

[@carlamartinezjoy]

🌸

[@silvia135]

James was so similar to Marcus when he was a newborn but now I think he looks sooo much like Kristin! What a beautiful baby!

[@AbiBloomUK]

Very hard season over here. Baby is 4 months now and still needs us to sleep as he sleeps on us at all times. I work full time and have done since 8 weeks and we live in a renovation project as big as yours that we’re doing ourselves.. it’s slow and it’s difficult but everyone says it gets better so this is really encouraging 🙏🏼💙

[@liabonin3727]

Where has time gone? I remember the first video you posted on here 🥺 and now you’re married, & a mom of a one year old 🥺 you look so happy and have this beautiful glow! I missed these life updates ❤️ oh, and the party looked so beautiful! We’re so proud of you !

[@carlamartinezjoy]

so true 🌼

[@kaylaelizabeth2979]

omg I got so emotional! Love you sweet James and Happy Birthday!

[@LindseyB97]

My son is the same age as James and his bday is a week from your baby! I’ve loved having these videos to watch! Happy bday sweet boy!

[@alexismcintosh5646]

oh my worddddd!! y’all are the cutest. love watching you guys. been here since your first video together!!💛💛

[@ajessicajaj]

Wow while watching this I had to pinch myself and ask if it was real. From watching Marcus’ video of introducing his girlfriend, to you starting a KZbin channel, to now!! I cant believe any of this! God is so good and it shows through your lives. Thanks for sharing James’ special day with us. Thanks for always uplifting my days. Love you all (especially Jellycat) 💖

[@carlamartinezjoy]

cute !! so true!!

[@SukhiD]

Happy Birthday to adorable James 🎉🥳

[@meganhanawalt4397]

My son just turned 9 months and he has 4 teeth coming on too! James is seriously the cutest boy! Happy bday james! I also went through a little of the baby blues for 12 weeks after having my son Wesley. Thankfully it all balanced out!

[@Sillylilemogirl22]

I love your content a lot! It is so pure and wholesome, but you paint this image as everything being perfect on a daily biases in your vlogs and to hear you say that you did have struggles with postpartum came as a shock I am also a mother to an 8 month old and it is hard to get through some really tough obstacles at times I think it would be helpful to the mothers watching your content to see someone they look too show their struggles not all of them because things are personal but just enough to show that: Hey a content creator is having the same problem and this is how the over came it. For example leaving the house with a baby it is tough or feeding dinner to your baby how do you handle the mess? Things like that. I’m so glad you overcame it and Happy 1st Birthday to James🎉

[@teamcoolbroccoli]

Kristin! I love the dress you wore. Where did you get it?! Such a beautiful little party for James 💗 I may have teared up watching you guys with him eating his smash cake 🥺

[@Gretchenwieners13]

I’m so obsessed your parents 😂 they always make me laugh so much! Also happy birthday James! How are you one 🥲 this vlog is so so happy

[@TheLouise8440]

The final part with music gave me such a this is us vibe🥺❤️HBD JAMES!

[@lilyw9324]

I've been watching you and Marcus since before y'all were married so seeing you become parents has been so fun!!!

[@AlexisAngelina]

thank you for being so vulnerable about your mental health. 💖💖💖

[@vianeyv96]

Beautiful! Happy birthday James 🤍 and thank you for talking about PP and being so real. I’m about to be 2 months PP and wow the part where you said you get nothing done just hold your baby is me. Every time I put him down for his naps he wakes up so I’m just holding him while he naps 😅 but seeing you give me hope I will feel like myself again someday

[@carlamartinezjoy]

Happy Birthday to sweet James!!!🌼🌼🌼

[@nikusFull666]

Happy Belated Birthday to your PRECIOUS little man James!! 🎉🎂🎈🎊❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@jestrinaackah]

Happy and blessed birthday James🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️

[@arbretree5463]

Thank you for your encouraging words! The party for James seemed like such a great time ❤️! I just find it slightly distracting that the camera really points to your cleavage sometimes though I am a straight girl lol. When you are trying to hide it with your hand, it actually draws even more attention to it.

[@ariannatrainor7710]

Such a cute birthday setup! Absolutely adore you and your family. What I aspire to be when I have kids someday

[@ainslieschmidt2487]

Happy birthday James!! Would you mind sharing your strawberry cupcake recipe please?
