CONGRATULATIONS ON 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! I've watched you guys since you had 10k followers and it's been an absolute pleasure watching you guys grow and evolve together and learn to love each other as both of you become different people. You've been strong and kind throughout the years, which is what brought you this awesome community of dudes and even more! Griffin is going to be an awesome kid with the best parents! Focus on the love and not the hate because the love makes the candle burn brighter.

Matt your shout out to single parents made me tear up! Even though I had a spouse I was the only one caring for both of my boys when they came home from the hospital and both times I had had a c-section! Seeing young men taking such care of their wife and baby touches my heart! Abby I’m so glad you have a good man to help you during these trying times as a new mama!

[@AlishaH-fo8qv]

I like how you don't sugarcoat parenthood. Some vloggers I watch make it look too easy, and then I start feeling like I'm doing something wrong (mother of 2 babies under 2yo). When you are actually devoted to being a good parent and taking the best care of your baby, it's hard work! So rewarding, though! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I also love how BOTH parents take on the work! Sometimes too much is left for the mother alone to do, and that's not right.... I mean she just carried the baby for 9 months and gave birth! She could use some help! ❤️❤️❤️

[@rebeccatimmins1371]

“I peed a little” “I’m sorry babe” I just love how supportive Matt is🥹😂

Babies thrive on consistency and routine. You might try doing that. Overstimulation from being in restaurants, noisy places, etc, can lead to lack of sleep. He's a beautiful baby!

[@reinettbernardo2779]

So true, although some people try to have babies adjust to whatever lifestyle they live. Some babies are just bit more sensitive. Matt & Abby, those spots on his face is breakout due to what he gets in milk, maybe just double check what you eat as it does affect baby through milk, make him more windy, which cause crankiness etc. Beautiful baby boy.

[@landrysettle]

was just binging all of y’all’s old videos because i miss you posting and got a notification that there was a new video and got SO EXCITED! i bet it’s super hard to keep creating content when there’s so much going on with griffin and i think all of your fans are very grateful that we still get videos and new shorts all the time from you guys. love y’all so much 🥰🥰

[@themillardfamily1749]

Wow I have never seen a dad so involved. Abby your a lucky lady.

[@Summygirl94]

Yes lucky and lucky he dont have to work full time. It is not the same when a father has to go to work.

[@lorelwebber6435]

Yep he’s such a good dad ! Burping his kid like that is so sane-also what’s with the druggo rapid speech is he on speed

[@ThanhPham-ic8bw]

it should be a standards. all men should do this because its their child as well

[@cmmmmmhmsh]

It’s okay as a parent to put your baby down in a safe spot. Leave for 5-10 mins to take a breath and collect yourself. When your baby is having a constant cry moments. Then tend to the baby again. It some times can get overwhelming.

[@vickycorey8195]

I agree. The pediatrician I was seeing actually told me to let them cry some. I have boys all in their 30s so I'm sure things have changed three or four times since they were born. I did let mine cry themselves to sleep at times. ❤

[@OffbeatLiteracy]

First of all mad respect Matt, no matter what shift I was working I got up and did changes and feedings for both of my kiddos and let their mom sleep. You're doing it right man no matter how hard it is you'll look back on it and be beyond glad you did it.

[@lorelwebber6435]

You realise he’s not working... he should do it if he’s always home

[@martivanravenswaay-waddell6810]

Love seeing Matt holding Griffin so securely in one arm -- just precious. I think that "Little Dude" has bad reflux -- his discomfort looks so similar to my older son's...really bad reflux. Just imagine his discomfort if you've ever had reflux!!

Our son who is 21 months now was the same way. Turned out it was acid reflux, so we elevated his bassinet by putting a book under it. Helped a lot! Sometimes he was super gassy as well, depending on what I ate due to breast feeding. Y’all are doing great! Keep it up! It goes by fast!

its really so lovely to see how you are sharing in the parenting process so beautifully, really a wonderful example

[@maggieruth]

Matt, I love the way you viscerally described such a beautiful detailed perspective of the character role in life of “parent”. Such a wonderful and brilliant thought on the comparison with walking away from another human if you need a moment, or space, but with a baby, you just can’t leave them. It’s like you unlock knew coping mechanisms and skills of adapting quickly and thinking/feeling on your feet. Dang. Well said my friend. ✌🏼✋🏼

[@Someone...---...]

the way you hold him is just so so adorable!! it really puts in perspective how unbelievably tiny he is. SO CUTE!!!!

[@MK-nz2tc]

Definitely know what you guys are going through. I’ve been there but it’s all worth it and I know you guys are cherishing every moment with him while he’s still a newborn. 😌

[@colleenmulqueeney1778]

I'm so happy you starting back up to film and can we just appreciate how hard they work to entertain us thank you so much Matt and Abby!

[@galwiththebraids]

Many congratulations on two million subscribers!!! Griffin made y'all's popularity skyrocket 🤣He's an angel and y'all are AWESOME parents! Matt is Superman holding Griffin in one hand and doing every imaginable task with the other. Parenthood is super super hard, but it's also the best job you can have. Motherhood is the only thing I'm certain I want to do when I grow up, God willing. Love you guys! Glad y'all had a fun trip.

Matt and Abby, "Keep going, you got this. You're doing so good." It sounds familiar because that's exactly what Matt said to all the parents out there. In all seriousness, you two are so loving and genuine with each other and now with your new son. So proud of you both 🧡

It's been so awesome watching y'all be such great parents to baby Griffin! Matt it's so sweet how you tell Abby she's so great when you're watching her with Griffin. Matt, you however are also very great with Griffin! It's been awesome when I watch one of y'all's videos or shorts and it's showing Matt getting up taking care of Griffin so Abby can get some sleep. I'm still a fairly new subscriber to y'all being I've only been one for a few months and I could tell right away y'all were going to be great parents! It's so awesome watching y'all take such loving care of baby Griffin! I really hope in the future y'all plan on having more children because while you guys are great here on KZbin you can tell you're both wonderful being parents! Every child deserves to be loved and cared for the way y'all do Griffin! Thanks for sharing another awesome video with us! I absolutely love you guys! Oh, and I'm sorry I just realized I said y'all an awful lot but I can't help it I'm a Southern Mama from North Carolina so it's just the way we talk here! 😂 LOL!!! Matt, you were so right when you said once you have a child you have a whole new respect for your parents and that's just something else that makes y'all wonderful parents as well! Y'all keep rockin' it, cause you're definitely some of the greatest parents on here and I sincerely mean that from the bottom of my heart! Y'all are awesome and so is sweet baby Griffin! 😁❤️😁

[@jorandle3455]

I totally love your little family. Griffin is sooooo cute. I totally freak out when I see the way Matt holds the baby though. If he wriggles even a tiny bit he would get dropped. Babies like to be held against the body because they feel safe and also they like to be feeling the parents heartbeat. I love how in love you all are with each other. Xxjojoxx

[@junestanborough3221]

Great to see you back, Griffin is so cute, Yes I have to agree, babies like to feel secure next to parents body , which is also good for bonding, baby would feel comfortable feeding sat down nestled in your arms, that way he probably would settle back down tosleep after he has had his feed. 💙

[@lizschaufler9489]

so happy to see y’all back!!! welcome y’all have been missed!! when me and my sister were younger we got bad rashes from diapers so my mom used boudreaux butt paste it’s amazing i actually have some for if i wear a bathing suit for too long. thought i’d share even though aquaphor is amazing. love you guys congrats on parenthood it looks so good on y’all!! y’all are going to be great parents

It happens to the best of us. Hopefully the sleeping situation gets easier for you guys. Right now the little guys is just getting used to the outside world and is probably so confused with the times and not being all snuggly is momma Abby’s belly. Just keep the love and y’all will be just fine!
