Welcome to The Frey Life daily vlogs! We are Peter & Mary, a married couple in our early 30's, showing the ups and downs of everyday life with #CysticFibrosis, a genetic lung disease that Mary was born with. In August 2019, Mary started a new CF medication that changed the trajectory of our future, and life has changed dramatically - including our son, Elijah, joining our family in December 2021. We also have an adorable standard poodle, Oliver, and a hairless sphynx cat, Harry. It's our hope that these videos can be an encouragement to to celebrate the little things in life and find joy amidst a world full of hard realities!

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Bubbles AND walking! What a joyous start to Shabbat! Good Shabbes guys! xxxxxxx

[@karenkane3220]

The foot up on the tray! ❤️

[@marylonergan8511]

He's so cute. He does make himself comfort with one foot on the chair table lol ❤️ 💙 💜

[@TheSmatt554]

His Laughter is such a blessing

[@tinah1362]

Don't blink, he will be running before you know it. You don't realize how fast time flies until you have a child. ❤

[@kerry5188]

Oh we all know this.

[@ivark56ofPA]

Elijah will be 15 months old as of march 20th and the parents will be reaching their mid 30s soon!!! Peter will be turning 35 on may 19th of this Year and Mary will be 35 on august 18th 2024 next year!! Almost reaching those key milestones of life.!!!💋❤

[@rebeccagrimm668]

Oh my he is absolutely gorgeous !!!!!

[@kittymervine6115]

Hairy is so sweet, just making sure his little buddy is safe also!

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

I smiled the whole time. The medicine I needed at this moment.

[@samcu1379]

Just you blowing bubbles like that is a miracle

[@katharinenelson2790]

He is soooo precious! 💙

[@kimtodd1803]

Speechless what a blessing in life

[@bonnie7551]

Precious Elijah!…

[@cherylrhone3407]

This is so cute!! He is going to be going all over before to long. Love him crawling up to the camera. ♥️

[@huskylovinmom9379]

Oh how precious.

[@Kriszee4]

What a cutiepie! 😊

[@christinasabo3617]

I am in awe of God's goodness every time you post a video like this, blowing bubbles with your little boy, or some other activity that seems so simple. But your long-time viewers know this wasn't possible a few years ago. God is so good, all the time.♥️

[@babybluecheeks]

This is so heartwarming and beautiful, I didn't stop smiling from start to finish, I'm still smiling.

[@sophiawish9772]

Bravo!

[@tanyasegerstrom1886]

Such a big boy good job Elijah next he will be running

[@Miranda_Jane]

I LOVE THIS SOOOO HARD🤗👏🥰🤗👏🥰

[@carolyn9157]

Meeting all your developmental mile stones little fellow. Now you become an ufishel toddler yay God bless your 👪.

[@julia2jules]

Love that he included us “the people” and then chose to end the blog. It would be fascinating to know how he perceives the camera that you both talk to.

[@biddiemutter3481]

His balance is good... clapping whilst standing. Has Harry got somewhere to get out of Elijah's way when he needs space?

[@ruthmeyer5415]

Eli says, Hey guys, come join the party!! Love this so so so so much!!

[@melaniemckown]

Love seeing him walk

[@karihanes6342]

Mary, blowing bubbles is therapy for you as well. It is good exercise for your breathing. So happy to see you both enjoying it.

[@kittymervine6115]

[@sheilablackwell6785]

🎉Can there be anything cuter than Elijah taking his first steps? Oh my when he smiled so BIG and clapped at his accomplishment that was sooooo sweet!🎉

[@Peas286]

[@heidis6474]

My mom always told me that you spend the first year of your child’s life getting them to walk & talk then spend the rest of their life telling them to sit down and shut up!

[@SweetThing]

That's pretty rude.. and sad! Sorry for you!

[@brandyhagler996]

Congratulations Elijah 👏 Mary and Peter you both are so blessed with your baby, gosh already starting too walk. Love how happy he gets with the bubbles so cute 🥰

[@janaleonard4702]

[@wheelerbeauty84]

I feel like a proud Auntie❤😢😊

[@valeriecunningham1574]

Let's celebrate Elijah! That is so cute with the two of you sitting on the floor and Elijah going back and forth between you. The smile and giggles coming from Elijah are just so wonderful. Elijah is just such a happy child and it is a joy to see. Keep it up Elijah, you are going to do such great things when you get older (I just have a feeling about that). Take care.

[@troxie6]

[@tiffanyroybal3315]

Way to go Elijah! That smile in the vlog camera was to cute. 😊

[@susanwiley-grim7450]

Hard to believe he’s walking / dancing. Love to see his smile.

[@imogenoliver]

His personality is really coming out now 😀, very cute.

[@creativeideas8966]

He ran not walked into this milestone! Amazing

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Wow! Elijah is communicating so well! His expressions are priceless … love watching him grow and you two stimulate his mind with new things to experience. So fun to watch him sign! Have a great weekend. Love from Canada ❤️🇨🇦

[@dothatch5147]

I couldn't wait. Now hes walking. The fun begins.

[@deekay313]

First steps, always make me bawl my eyes out 😫.. Babies are so amazing and precious..Good job Elijah!! So happy, that you two get to experience this ❤️

[@rachelmckitterick]

I loved how he clapped while walking. Like he was congratulating himself 😄❤️

[@ivark56ofPA]

I like him clapping and picking up the sign language and practiceing walking. Like a little milestone developing...!

[@rachelmckitterick]

@@ivark56ofPA agreed 😊 It's adorable to watch. Really heartwarming.

[@kristen484]

YAY Elijah🎉 Way to go big boy

[@jacquelynnjones1372]

this seriously touches my heart 🥰🥰🥰 happy tears. God is GOOD!

[@mhelen7360]

Bubble wands never lose their appeal with kids, do they!? Before long he'll be learning how to make them himself. I think I worked as hard to walk as Eli did! It was so cute how pleased he was with himself :-)

[@Its.vape.zebra24.7]

Elijah is so cute! He’s really getting big now. He’ll be all over the house before you know it. I love that you guys are using signing to teach him. Keep that up if you can for a second language if anything. I’m hard of hearing (major hearing loss in right and deaf in left ear) and I love it when parent start with signing to their baby just wish they kept it up through the years of growth. And I know Marie knows some signs at least. 😊 he’s in such good hands !!

[@marianspickler7290]

hes a toddler give him time to enjoy crawling dont rush the walking he will get there

[@Emptynestballerina1]

Omg I love seeing him shine

[@Carballoca]

Now the run begins chasing him everywhere…😊😆

[@ivark56ofPA]

I see a lot of cuteness in these segments of today's episode. Elijah reaction Of Mary blowing bubbles making him smile and bringing out his giggles And laughing. Normally the bubbles will pop and dry up after reaching the floor Good job buddy practiceing walking.. I kind like him coming up to the camera And giving kisses to internet folks watching. And harry stealing the show also..❤💋

[@collenearnold848]

He is so so precious! Just loved watching him laugh, walk, and sign. Great job mom and dad!

[@BNHAalltheway]

Elijah is so cute that's great he's walking

[@susanharris1285]

He loves the camera

[@fralinsandfriends]

That's awesome. He's going to be running around the house chasing Ollie in no time. 😃😃👋👋💖💖

[@livingwithsjogrensdisease1550]

[@katherinecorbett7580]

Can we all agree the intro needs an updated picture of the family lol

[@kyliestark7356]

He is hilarious. I think he intentionally face plants and falls into your arms . Running jumping skipping in no time xxx

[@lindafrazier8799]

You'll be sorry when he starts walking!

[@snookie65]

Sweet boy. Soak it in, this moment passes in the blink of an eye. ❤

[@Flo-cy4xc]

It's a sad week for me, I lost my 2yo cat on wednesday, due to heart disease... I knew he had it, but it got suddenly worse and I had to let him go... His painful meowing and sad eyes still haunt me, I guess time heals everything...

[@PrincessMax360]

This is so sweet. Good job Elijah!

[@Lyn4817]

Elijah is such a happy little boy.
