Child #1 Eats dirt; rush to see the doctor. Child #2 Eats dirt; you wash it's mouth out and make sure it doesn't get sick from it. Child #3 Eats dirt; You contimplate if you still need to make lunch for it or not! 😆

[@Fix.family.]

I was like that with my only. #3 lol that’s how I grew up so eh.

[@madtownangler]

I was the kid who always went to the doctor for things like a broken nose, drinking gasoline, getting knocked out doing stupid things at school. I ended up alright.

[@jamescurtis1226]

I was a forth Child...Yup, I ate lots of Dirt, but Three more Children later Little Brother had evolved to Coal

[@TheJuiceoner]

@@madtownangler I am the #3 child myself when I was a kid and got hurt or sick my parents would just put Vicks vapor rub on me and tell me to sleep it off! Lol Even up til recently I told my family I had tested positive for Covid last month and their main concern was; if I was still going to take part in the family weekly NFL football picks! SMH

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Because dirt has protein [smiles]

[@RogueRipple]

People need to seriously stop concerning themselves with other people's lives an routines. Who cares how Justin an Stephanie raise their own children! Worry about you and not what other people do, because it does not affect you in any way whatsoever! Congrats on your growing family, Stephanie!

[@TheKumra]

I agree!

[@packovanimals]

Amen!!

[@RogueRipple]

@Arryo Suryahadi, try that again, but this time, let's try it in English.

[@TheKumra]

@Arryo Suryahadi pardon?

[@tylermallory2504]

Congratulations on beautiful baby number two, and what a great wholesome strong name. Ben River Rackley, I absolutely love it. And little emmy is so adorable, she already looks so much like mom!

[@HappiestGirl69]

All of my mom’s 4 kids slept on their tummies, both of my boys slept on their tummies. There’s risk in everything and you’re being the perfect mom by knowing that the most important thing for your baby is to sleep well. Don’t guilt yourself over it, Steph. Your babies are both beautiful, healthy, and well cared for.

[@Daliclock]

Awesome to see y'all again!

[@christinebyrd1296]

Congrats on new addition Benjamin. He looks just like his dad so far. Beautiful family, stay blessed.

[@Arnoudtunes]

Congrats!!!

[@huskyfisherman1590]

[@tomlaurell6754]

Glad to see the new addition , and a new post have missed you guys

[@EoffZooStaff]

Beautiful Baby Ben!!! What an amazing family you are!!! Thank you for the videos and totally understandable that you life is very busy!!!

[@JakeBarr17]

I always love watching busy little Emmy in the background of videos, reminds me of my own daughter.

[@hansen5280]

Hang in there, you both are doing great.

[@LittleMountainLife]

Congratulations! So happy for y’all!

[@pumperswife2248]

I had tummy sleepers they are very healthy no problems. Our doctor told us that having a ceiling fan going while they were asleep helps with positive air pressure. So glad to see your family so healthy and happy. Congratulations!!

[@rahnncreations7283]

Congratulations Stephanie, he is adorable. I bet emmie loves her little brother.

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Tummies used to be the way babies slept due to choking on spit up issues. When I had my girls, I really struggled with having them sleep on their backs. Y’all are doing fab and way sweet babe and little girl Emmy!

[@larrymayberry2312]

So happy for you guys and welcome Mr. Ben. God Bless your family

[@dougrogillio2223]

So proud for you. I prayed a lot for the safe delivery of #2.

[@raulwall6]

Congrats, y'all..

[@mandaleemilly6367]

Ben looks so much like Emmie! Congrats to your beautiful family! ❤️

[@nancystewart2063]

Congratulations on your new baby boy!!

[@f0rumrr]

So many children could be so lucky to have a mom like you.

[@txnetcop]

Congrats on the new little boy! Don't worry about a tummy sleeper. My youngest was and now she is 25 year old RN and her 4 month old son is a tummy sleeper.

[@bettyruth9142]

Love y’all !! Congratulations on baby Ben !! Emmy has a lot of energy!! 😀😀😀😀

[@deniseallen-blake2557]

So awesome to see you again❣️ Y'all have been in my thoughts and prayers. You are such a great Mom, and Justin is a good Dad. Babies are so special and such unique individuals from the very start. My son was a tummy sleeper, and at that time that was what we did. But my daughter was almost the exact opposite, a back sleeper, to the point that she was flipping herself over at 2 days old. She scared both me and my Mom flipping herself over. You do the best you can for Baby Ben and Emmy, and y'all will be fine. Congratulations❣️ God Bless You and Your Family ❣️🙏❣️🙏❣️ So good to see you again ❣️

[@trueblue533]

Congrats on the new tater! He is so adorable! And Emmy is so big and an absolutely beautiful little girl! What a blessed life! My second was a tummy sleeper, and a thumb sucker, which turned out to be good (He's 16 now). I read somewhere that it was good for a baby to have a pacifier when they sleep because it stimulates them. I don't know if that is still the line of thought on it though. I agree though, going from one to two was much easier than going from none to one. Of course we went from two to three and then three to four really quickly, but the only thing that was difficult was getting them all in their car seats to go somewhere, otherwise it was just one more. God bless you all!

[@kentariola3375]

Good to see y’all back on👍

[@randyrat1747]

You guys have some of the most adorable kids!

[@markroper9269]

That first night.....8 hours of sleep uninterrupted......is the sweetest thing!!!! It is like Christmas!!! It always amazed me how much you can do on almost no sleep! You are doing great!! Love the video!! LFG you are not home free....about that......you will pay......at some point. Work related or not......there is a bill coming due. Glad you guys are doing great!!

[@renitameares3838]

Awwww, congratulations!

[@joebgallagher939]

Comments are back!!! Congratulations on the new addition. Can’t wait to see many more Rackley adventures!

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

Super stoked for you guys! To be honest, I've got my first one on the way right now. And I've never been more nervous. Can't wait to see how this little girl changes my life!

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

@Arryo Suryahadi why be that way? You can't rain on my parade lol. I'm a happy father regardless.

[@marythibault9032]

Congrats that is what I tell my new moms. I had 5 kids love them all. First one is the hardest.

[@erikak8187]

I noticed right away like you said on your other channel he’s a very calm baby. Congrats.

[@josephsharp5603]

Well, I’ll just say; Congratulations mom and Dad. Emmy has all the energy and soon enough little man will too. Have fun and God Bless. I know we’ll see him grow like Emmy. Take care!

[@catrinaaguiar7547]

Every time you describe Emme ‘s behavior you’re describing my second😆 he was a handful!! And still can be, at age 7. But we wouldn’t have him any other way!! Congrats again on your little family! Y’all are amazing parents!

[@ayranhudson9280]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

[@best3boysrmine]

Congrats on baby! I'm glad you let him sleep on his tummy if that's what he wants💙

[@brandonwalmsley1863]

Congratulations on the new addition! Ben-JAMMIN is a great name. One to two for us was rough. Our first was difficult to sleep train, but our second had colic. NOT FUN, but totally worth every second!

[@catiedobbs3254]

@Arryo Suryahadi what's that have to do with anything?

[@cjcrochet41]

Congrats to the family.

[@dbeverly1928]

Heck I'm just glad to see you can now get comments

[@joeycooper860]

Oh wow I didn't know the comments were turned on. That's awesome. Congratulations on the new edition to the family!

[@tatertots-n-soup]

That is so much more. It truly feels like a long deserved miracle.

[@chrisanderson9856]

Beautiful family!!!

[@blackwolffishing4183]

What a amazing family may God keep blessing you brother

[@a.p.5429]

Always enjoy y'all.

[@sunnybigmc90]

My baby girl is a tummy sleeper too She was in the nicu for 3 weeks and they kept her on her tummy pretty much the whole time so that’s wat she was use to so I quickly realized that that was the only way I could get her to sleep. I have one of those owlet foot monitors so that gives me peace of mind with her being on her tummy. U gotta do wat u gotta do.

[@Boxer-Don]

Congratulations to you both. God Bless All

[@shaunroberts9361]

You are a natural for sure....

[@allison9230]

Every baby is different in what they like, so you do what works. Don’t worry about what anyone thinks. You are an awesome mum 😁

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Oh forgot.. Life is not boring when it is what you love. Please more videos of you guys. So happy for your family and the love and commitment you guys have for each other. Love you all so very much. Think you can share it with us without feeling obligated to it. It does not have to be great it just has to have great people who love being themselves. P.S. so glad everyone is healthy and beautiful. Love and nurture one another as they are your whole world. Peace and Love

[@Mrwhatsittoya24]

Congratulations , Benjamin is very handsome, nothing but blessings to your family

[@alexisbrown7284]

Y'all are great parents!!

[@countrygirlfishing]

2 of my kids were tummy sleepers and I was happy for it ....it made them sleep and I also got a little more sleep.... never had an issue and never had people give the opions that people have the nerve to give these days..... You do what's good for you and your lake babies 👶🏻👶🏻

[@Lucky_Outdoors]

Aww it's OK don't apologize we understand. U look great for just having a baby. And u have a beautiful family. Congrats again on the new addition, Ben.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

I love how the family makes her even more beautiful. A white sundress and glowing sunshine would be the only thing more beautiful.

[@nh6003]

Very beautiful family. Wish the best.

[@aprilbennett6280]

Congratulations you guys your kids are beautiful.Love you guys

[@faypollard6455]

Beautiful family.

[@wayneosmon1687]

god bless you and your family doing a great job

[@tiffanydalhover6813]

He is beautiful! I had tummy sleepers too.. they are all grown and married now and I have 5 grandsons! The only thing I would say is maybe get one of the new owlet things for him at night.. they monitor breathing and heart rates... just some peace of mind... but you do what you need . You know your baby

[@kellywilliams2372]

The owlet sock has given us such a piece of mind for us letting our daughter sleep on her tummy! Well worth the money!

[@lily_the_tzuadventures5359]

You're not terrible parent's every child is different, when I was having kicks they didn't freak out about as much as they do now, and yeah it might not be they best but both mine were tummy sleepers and they are now 35 and 29, and they did fine, just do what you're doing and watch him, you're a beautiful family

[@charlestipton9709]

cant wait for the cook book and the camping videos

[@kentkelly5301]

Nice vid. Always look forward to Lake Life Family updates.

[@Ralph-cc9xy]

my son was also a tummy sleeper! I know it's not recommended BUT he did survive. Do what works for your family!

[@ricardapomposini2589]

Wow, you got your comments back! Beautiful baby!

[@toshiaki274]

What a blessing. God is good 🤙

[@anaarnold8933]

Good for you and congratulations

I just found your channel, beginning with Justin's brain surgery day. I am in love with you and your family!! Congratulations on the birth of your son, his name is perfect!! Emmie is the most adorable little girl and I know she keeps you on your toes. I will be praying for you all, as I hope Justin's tumor stays away from him. God Bless you.

Congrats on the new Son.....but seeing Emmy so big and talking is awesome

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Emmy is still my favorite. Reminds me of a true child of God. Knows when walking the edge with no fear..

[@tobysstory4013]

Love to see camping vlogs And yes Emm looks like Steph and looks Like Ben will to but time will tell. Great video

[@JeRKII]

This is one of those comments. First I'm not a professional of any kind hell I'm not even a parent. It appears you 2 a phenomenal parents keep up the good work

[@bigmanoutdoorsman6390]

You are great parents 😄

[@michaelwallace7587]

Chickens learn to eat eggs. When one cracks in the nest. A lot people put golf balls in the nest to break the habit. Always try adding calcium and oyster shell to prevent weak shells.

[@madtownangler]

I had to bottle feed lambs in the basement every two hours when I was in high school and my dad would wake up as I walked down the stairs and I could hear him chuckle as I went by. I only had to do that at night during the week I had weekends off. So I feel for you doing it 24/7 as an adult not a kid with energy.

[@tootynuggets]

It's tough. I have a 6 week old at 33. Glad I waited this long but at the same time it's tiring. It's a blessing that my husband and I both get 3 months off with paid leave and can take shifts where we both sleep full nights. But at 2 months we will be transitioning to a non shift schedule. I miss snuggling with my hubs in the AM 😞

[@anitahicks98]

Congratulations to baby Ben so handsome little boy

[@paullangdon7118]

Congratulations to you both Beautiful baby ❤️ your Family

[@johnnyprewittjr6211]

Congrats such a cutie pie

[@theresaakin2284]

My boys were tummy sleepers. When my youngest had his last daughter (?). mom refused to put her on her tummy. one day my son put his daughter on her tummy and she slept for 3 hours. She was two weeks old. She was in same position as your son. The neighbor put her grandson on his back and swaddled. He fussed and only slept for maybe 30 minutes. Granpa picked him up to hold him. Placed him across his arm like a kitten on a limb and napped for two hours sans the swaddle.

[@larrystolzman9337]

OSG: when do you get to go to a tournament or elk hunt? Make sure LFG shares the load as much as possible. It is to easy for mom’s to say they are OK and make it to easy for Dad. I know My wife spoiled me. God Bless!

[@tatertots-n-soup]

I think he is doing his job protecting the family as he should. Burden is on everyone. A real man will always hide his to ensure safety. God bless you all

Oh-so nice to see Comments back on LLF! And, goodness gray-see-us, I am so glad to *not* go thru tiny kidlins again! I love my pack to bits (all are 30+!), but golly! Justin, son, y'all need to get up more night-time. Even tho' Steph is breast feeding... well, yeah, the Greybeard shall stfu now. 😁 Thanks to you both for making an appearance on LLF! I missed *all* of you!!

[@joanneganon7157]

Baby Ben is Adorable 😍 . Hey Stephanie, your doing great being a Mom of Two💝. Daddy stay close! JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@williamfitzner1398]

Hi there, congrats on Ben. The reason chickens eat there own eggs is they are looking for the Calum in the shells. Next time Justin goes to the feed store have him pick up a bag of cracked sea shells and mix into there food or save the egg shells and give them to them.

[@sandyyeary8232]

Emmy has long legs already! Ben is beautiful! Both of my girls slept on their tummies and did fine. When they learn to turn over they will end up in many different positions. Your home is lovely and very functional. Perfect for a family. Great to see you guys again.

[@pnwadventurer9674]

My wife is a pediatrician and it just seems you guys have everything set up for risk in his sleep system, but if your dr says it’s ok then it’s ok, we’re all about minimizing risk no matter what, congrats you two!!!! Our girl is 37 days old

[@Eric__B]

Propane firepits are nice, you can cook on them, and instant on and off is safer for kids.

[@link151328]

1st one challenging 2nd one was great 3rd kid is crazy nuts challenging a complete wild child 4th one ok so far just eats way more than the other three she just turned one and started walking so that's fun
