♫ Happy birthday
♫ To Janae
- I'm your big sister.
♫ When's it my turn
(rain pouring)
(thunder booming)
(siren wailing)
- Okay, everyone downstairs.
Now.
(stressed music)
Come on.
(crying)
(heart beating)
Well Papa and Mugga let
Kendra and I sleep in.
I woke up after 11
A
M.
I have not done that for years and I feel
good.
I guess I should say that I was
up between four and seven AM
so that did happen too.
What are you guys doin'?
- I don't know.
- We're doing
the marching band!
- [Jeremy] The marching band?
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
(laughing)
♫ Do, do, do, do, do, do
- Say, hi.
Say, hi guys.
Aww.
- [Jeremy] So this little
Janae is sleeping really well.
- She's doing pretty darn well.
- [Jeremy] So Mugga
loves the game Rummikub.
- [Elise] This is my first time.
- [Jeremy] Oh, awesome.
- Poll.
Have you guys ever played Rummikub?
- [Jeremy] Let us know in the poll.
- [Grandma] Okay, Isaac,
do you have any, you wanna
start this time?
Do you know one
you could lay down?
- Yeah.
- [Grandma] Okay.
(fun music)
- [Jeremy] Elise, you
only got one more left.
- I know, I know what I'm gonna do.
(shrieks)
♫ For my first time
♫ I won
- She got one
- You won!
- Of those magic ones.
(upbeat dance music)
Good job!
Good job winnin'.
- Okay Isaac, you get to do the last one.
- [Jeremy] How was your nap big girl?
- Good.
- [Jeremy] Good.
- I'm still sleepy.
- Come on, we're havin'...
You're still sleepy?
I get it.
Do you wanna come out
and have fun with us?
- Little sister.
(gentle music)
Look he's getting ready to
ride without training wheels.
Sprinting
is
hard.
- Well it's about four o'clock
in the afternoon and I just
am now getting ready for the day.
And there's a little piece of me that
thinks that's ridiculous.
Like, why make my bed at four PM?
Why get dressed and put on a
little bit of makeup at four PM
when I'm gonna be going back
to bed in only a few hours.
But
it helps me emotionally.
I just feel better.
Yeah, it just makes me happy
so I decided to try to put
myself together for a little
bit and Janae has been
keeping me company.
You can probably hear
her bouncer vibrating.
She's just been right here beside me.
- [Laura] Hi, Janae.
She likes to bouncer.
♫ Lead to my path
♫ I wanna see it
- [Jeremy] Did you find a new microphone?
- Yeah it's mine.
- [Jeremy] Oh.
You know what that's actually for?
- Yeah.
- [Jeremy] It's for sucking
boogers out of babies' noses.
- Oh.
- [Jeremy] Yeah.
- I thought it was a microphone.
- [Jeremy] Well you can
sing into if you want.
♫ That's okay
♫ No big deal
♫ I want more
♫ I wanna see
♫ I wanna see inventions
♫ Strolling the world on those
♫ What's it called
♫ Where
♫ When's it my turn
- So while we were in the
hospital with Janae Caleb got
sick and my parents took
him to the doctor and he was
diagnosed with strep throat
and given antibiotics.
And the doctor said that
because of how long it takes for
the other kids maybe to be
showing symptoms, that we really
needed to keep the kids away
from Janae as much as we could
for a couple of days.
So, we're hopefully in
the clear at this point.
Caleb's better with his
antibiotics and all the other kids
are still healthy.
And so we're going to
finally let them hold
their little sister.
They're excited.
Are you excited to hold Janae?
- Mhm.
- Yeah?
Lisee are you ready?
- Mhm.
- Okay, do you remember
how to hold babies?
- Like this.
- Yep, you gotta support
their necks really good, okay?
So I'm gonna be right here by you.
There she is.
(giggles)
- Hi, Janae.
- [Kendra] What do you
think of holdin' her?
- It's so...
I don't know how to explain it.
- I think she likes you.
- I think she likes my glasses.
- [Kendra] Yeah, she's watching you.
- I'm your big sister.
But that's your mama over there.
- [Kendra] Yeah, mama's
right here beside you.
- And that's your dada.
- [Kendra] He's the guy behind the camera.
- Yeah.
And just to tell you, we
have a YouTube channel.
That's why there's a camera.
(laughing)
- Lisee, just to tell you we
video'd this before we had
a YouTube channel.
- Yep.
- For all of the brothers and sisters.
- [Jeremy] We actually filmed every birth.
- Is it my turn, my turn?
- And every moment like this.
Did you know that?
- No.
- [Jeremy] Yep, it's true.
- [Kendra] Daddy just
likes to video things.
- [Jeremy] Yeah.
- Alright Ms Elise, there's
a lot of people that wanna
love on her.
- I just wanna keep on holding her.
- You don't wanna let go of her?
- Forever.
- You'll have to sign up for
a slot in the schedule.
- Okay.
(laughs)
- Mom has pretty much filled it up so far.
- I really like to hold Janae.
Okay.
- [Laura] Mom, is it my turn?
- Do you wanna hold her?
- Can I hold Janae
again later after?
- Yes.
- [Elise] Yippee!
- Can I hold her?
- Yeah, come sit in the corner.
The corner spot's where
you get to hold her.
- [Jeremy] She likes you.
- Aww.
Hi, Janae, I'm your big sister.
- Do you wanna hold her?
- Sure.
- Put your arm around her
on the outside like this.
There you go.
And you kinda move your arm up like this.
There you go.
- Can you let go?
- Oh, can I let go?
I'll just stay right here just beside you.
(baby cries)
- [Jeremy] She wants you
to give her a high five.
(laughs)
- High five.
I calmed her down.
- You did, you calmed her down.
Good job.
You got her?
- Mhm.
- [Jeremy] All by yourself.
Janae is just so happy.
- Oh my goodness.
"Just stop will ya?
"Let me go."
(laughs)
- Okay, Mommy's turn again.
Alright, Mr Man, can
you put your arms out?
There you go, big brother.
There you go.
Now hold your arms together real tight.
There you go.
You're doin' it.
You're holdin' a baby.
- Hi, Janae.
♫ Twinkle, twinkle
♫ Little star
♫ How I wonder what you are
And I think she pooped.
- [Jeremy] Yeah?
How can you tell?
- I smell it.
- [Jeremy] Oh, that was me.
Just kidding.
- [Kendra] I have a feelin'
you two are gonna be good buds.
- Yeah we are.
- Isaac's been super patient
and waited for the last turn.
You let everybody else go first.
You ready?
- Not really.
How do you even hold a baby?
I can't remember.
The last one was three years ago.
- It was a long time ago.
There you go.
Look at you.
- Hey, Janae.
(baby cries)
(laughs)
- [Kendra] Oh, you calmed her down.
Good job.
(sentimental music)
- I think she went to sleep
right when she gets crying.
(laughs)
- Yeah she calmed down.
- You put her to sleep.
- Good job.
Well I think she's loved.
- [Caleb] Yeah, she is.
- [Elise] You're for sure loved.
Janae.
- Do we like our little sister?
- [Elise] We love you.
- [Isaac] It's so soft.
- (laughs) I know.
It's just brand new skin.
- [Grandma] It's okay, star.
- So we've always been really
careful when we bring a new
baby home to make it fun
and special for the kids.
And so one of the things we've
done is have a birthday cake
and celebrate the birthday of the baby.
The kids at home always really love it.
So you guys gonna help
me make a birthday cake?
- [Caleb] Mhm.
- [Elise] Can I pour this?
- [Jeremy] Sure.
- It's exactly one cup.
(sneezing)
- [Jeremy] Oh, good job
coverin' up that sneeze.
(calm guitar music)
- [Laura] Now I need to pour it.
- As fast as you can with two hands.
- [Jeremy] Laura, who
are we makin' a cake for?
- For Papa.
- [Jeremy] (laughs) No, it's not for Papa.
The cake is for Janae.
Did you know that she just had a birthday?
- Mhm.
- [Jeremy] 'Cause she was just born.
- She did not turn one.
- [Jeremy] Nope, she turned zero.
(laughs)
- Just like Lisee!
- [Caleb] Laura, can I have a turn?
- Sure.
Going fast as you can.
Then it's gonna be my turn, right?
- [Jeremy] Yep, we take turns.
- That is yummy for the Janae.
- [Jeremy] For Janae.
- Yes.
Janae's birthday.
- [Jeremy] It's gonna be good.
- She's gonna blow out the candles.
- [Jeremy] Oh, how many
candles does she have?
- One.
- Zero.
I think I got it all.
♫ Happy birthday to
- What's that called?
♫ To Janae
Woo!
She's gonna have presents.
Janae opened her eyes?
- Yeah, she sure did.
- Is she a girl, or a boy?
- Oh, she's a girl.
- Oh.
- Good question.
Yeah, be gentle, done touch her eyes.
- Aww.
- So soft.
I swear she smiled at me in there.
She finished eating and I just
looked at her and I grinned
and she's like.
And I know it's not real but...
- It was really just poo.
(laughs)
- Yeah but it was well timed poo.
- Okay, I'm done.
Move them around.
Try to guess which one it's in.
(energetic piano music)
- [Jeremy] Is it over here
on the left, in the middle,
or on the the right?
I'm gonna guess middle.
Oh!
Was it on the left?
Ah!
Okay, it's on the right.
What?
- I know where it is.
I took a peek.
(enthusiastic music)
Okay, guess which one it is.
I'm gonna do it and you
guys are gonna try to guess.
- [Jeremy] Okay, wait.
Where is it?
It's in the middle.
Alright, let's see it.
(laughs)
Alright, is it on the left?
The middle or the...
(screams)
(laughing) He showed us.
- [Kendra] Is it this one?
How 'bout this one?
- Yeah.
- [Kendra] Did we find it?
- Yeah.
- She's sleeping.
- [Jeremy] Well, if Janae
can learn to sleep with
all this chaos...
- That's the only way
she's gonna get any sleep.
- [Jeremy] Yep.
- Here's her cake.
I decorated it.
Happy birth Janae.
And there's a zero candle.
- Yeah, she's turnin' zero.
She used to be not a number.
- She used to be not a number.
(laughs)
♫ Happy Birthday
♫ To Janae
- [Jeremy] "Oh, stop it."
♫ Happy birthday dear Janae
♫ Happy birthday to Janae
- [Kendra] Good job, guys.
- [Grandma] Woohoo!
- Apparently J House
birthday season continues.
(happy music)
- J House out.
(thunder booming)
(rain pouring)
(lightning striking)
(siren wailing)
- [Jeremy] Okay, everyone downstairs.
Now.
(nervous music)
Come on.
Baby Janae is down in there.
- It's okay, Elise.
- Lisee.
- It's okay.
- It's okay, look we're
all here together.
- Shh.
- This is our first tornado
warning of this season and so I
think it's just
a little bit more nervous.
- And for the baby.
- Yeah, this is Janae's first tornado.
She's doin' okay.
- She's the bravest of us all.
(laughs)
Well we had just put the kids to bed.
They were laying down.
I was actually singing to
Laura and Elise and then Kendra
starts
yelling.
We had actually just said a
prayer with Elise 'cause she was
feeling scared about the storm.
And we had just prayed that we
would be safe from the storm.
And then Kendra called up and
we needed to run downstairs.
- [Grandma] Papa was standing
out on the front porch.
- You were standing out.
- I was watching it.
- He likes lightning.
- I was like, hey this is cool.
- [Jeremy] So Kendra did verify that
we have a tornado warning until...
For the next 30 minutes, right?
- For the next 30 minutes.
- So there's a famous story
in Kendra's family of a time
when in their neighborhood
there was a tornado that came
right through the neighborhood.
- Yeah.
- And Papa
really wanted to go up and see it.
And Mugga was like, "Get
down here, get down here!"
- "You crazy old man!"
- Yeah, is this true, is it
folklore, or is this really...
- Oh, no it's absolutely true.
I was really curious.
- [Jeremy] What did it sound like?
- It sounded like the biggest
freight train I'd ever heard.
- [Jeremy] So it's not
the noise we're hearin'
right now, right?
- No.
The pitch went high,
high, high, super high.
And I thought there was
just gonna explode upstairs.
- [Jeremy] And you're upstairs?
You're gonna go check it out?
- We were in the basement and
I was gonna open the door that
went into the regular part
of the house.
- Haven't you seen the movies
where people get sucked
out right at that point?
(laughs)
- I did turn out going right by us.
It got a part of our
property and it hit the house
next to us.
- [Jeremy] Wow.
- And my memory of that.
I was about Elise's age.
And I just remember I was in
my bike helmet in the basement
underneath the card table.
- Should we go get our bike helmets?
Good thing you got a new one, Caleb.
Alright, we're gonna go investigate.
Well we don't hear the siren
anymore so I think we're good.
Alright you guys, come on out.
We're gonna head upstairs.
- Why?
- [Jeremy] It's time to go back to bed.
- Why?
- I think we're safe.
Good night, buddy.
- Good night.
- Good night, Dad.
- [Jeremy] Good night, big girl.
Love you.
- [Laura] Love you.
- [Jeremy] Sleep tight.
- [Caleb] Good night.
J House out.
- [Kendra] Excuse me, Mom.
I have a question.
When do I get to have some more milk?
(dramatic music)
- [Jeremy] The training
wheels are off, buddy.
(dramatic music)
