00:01Previously on Seven Little Johnstons.
00:04Night, girl.
00:05Layton!
00:06We decided to do a cute little photo shoot with Layton
00:10since Halloween will be her last first holiday.
00:14Yay!
00:15Yay!
00:17Layton was having a pretty rough day today.
00:20Since starting daycare, she has had some of the daycare viruses,
00:24so she's still recuperating.
00:26And we're definitely going to do her first birthday party.
00:28Make it extra special.
00:30I like this area a lot.
00:31I would not mind moving up here.
00:33I think you should.
00:34You seem pretty dead set on staying here,
00:35so I don't think I have much of a choice.
00:37I'm really excited about my future with Ally.
00:39I've met the woman I'm going to marry,
00:41and I just can't wait to be together for the rest of our lives.
00:45So have you talked to Emma and Alex about their talk with Ana?
00:49Alex was not happy. They were quite stressed.
00:53She made the decision to not attend the graduation.
00:57And all Emma and Alex were asking for is just an apology.
01:01Just say you're sorry.
01:02I apologize to Alex and Emma about missing their graduation.
01:06I wish all of them understood that, like,
01:10me pulling back from family events.
01:12Honestly, it's mom and dad.
01:14I didn't feel welcome being around them.
01:26I feel like shining, yeah.
01:28I'm unstoppable.
01:30I'm feeling fired up, yeah.
01:32I'm ready to go.
01:34Okay.
01:35They're so starving.
01:36I'm starving.
01:37Layton's first birthday is this weekend,
01:40and my friends Carol and Dacey are in town to celebrate,
01:43and I get to spend some time with them as well.
01:45What have you had here?
01:46Their tacos are good.
01:48Fajitos are great.
01:49Ooh, I love fajitos.
01:50What's adobe chicken?
01:51Adobe chicken?
01:52It's a little chicken with a little spice.
01:54Spice, yeah.
01:57It's not bad. It's mild. It's very mild.
01:59Dacey and I are sharing a bathroom this weekend,
02:01and I need to keep it nice.
02:02I appreciate it.
02:03I appreciate it.
02:04Me and Carol are sharing a bathroom tonight,
02:08and I think she got the less spicy chicken,
02:10so I think I'm good.
02:12She brought perfume, so if we need it, we got it.
02:14If you're not farting, there's something wrong with you.
02:16That is true.
02:17I mean, I guess everyone does have to, yes.
02:21How's been moving to Florida?
02:23Gosh, I haven't seen you in forever,
02:24so I haven't seen you since you've been.
02:25Since Tennessee was the last time.
02:27Good.
02:28Hot.
02:29The last time we were all three together
02:31was two and a half years ago in Nashville,
02:33which is crazy.
02:34Time really does fly,
02:35but we all have been pretty busy.
02:37You are now engaged.
02:39I didn't really get a good look at it yet.
02:42So pretty.
02:43It's beautiful.
02:44It fits your hand like perfect.
02:45Have you gotten used to it?
02:47First it was like too tall.
02:49Yeah.
02:50It's like I'm used to it.
02:51I've expressed to Bryce whenever he feels ready to propose,
02:55it should be on his time when he's ready,
02:57because he's the one buying the ring.
03:00He's the one that's going to ask the big question.
03:02Now since we're working on a home,
03:04long as Bryce doesn't spend a mortgage on a ring,
03:06I'm good.
03:07So how's teaching life?
03:09I love my job.
03:10I wouldn't want to do anything else,
03:11but it's like I'm responsible for 20 little lives every day.
03:15They keep me on my toes.
03:16I'm just responsible for one life and I'm just...
03:19But I would love to be home with her.
03:21It's kind of been on the table of whether or not I should become
03:23just the full-blown stay-at-home mom or not.
03:26Hey.
03:27Maybe.
03:28We don't really know if daycare is for sure Layton's...
03:31Yeah.
03:32...most needed thing right now,
03:33just with all the health struggles that she's been through,
03:35just getting so sick.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Bryce and I are thinking about taking Layton out of daycare right now,
03:40because she has had a lot of respiratory viruses.
03:44And really just the big thing is just how young she is.
03:47It just worries me, especially with as much as I love her,
03:51I care about her so much.
03:52I just don't want anything to happen to her.
03:54If you do get to stay home,
03:55you'll be able to soak up every moment,
03:58all the little things.
03:59Like, you'll most likely, more likely to be there with her first steps.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Even for me, I'm far from it,
04:06but I would love to be a stay-at-home mom.
04:08My school roster of 20 kids is enough for me.
04:11I am fine if I do not have a kid.
04:12For right now.
04:13Really?
04:14Yes.
04:15Come on, you need a Dacey Elizabeth.
04:16Yeah.
04:17That is a beautiful name.
04:20Layton gives me baby fever, and I'm nowhere near that.
04:22But, because she was so singing cute.
04:24I don't even want kids but looking at Layton.
04:26Like, I want a baby because of Layton.
04:28But if they don't look like Layton, I'm gonna be sad.
04:32I remember I was in high school and had no concept of money.
04:35I wanted five kids.
04:36I would like three or four at least.
04:39I thought I wanted like three or four, but I'll be okay with two.
04:42Bryce and I have agreed on two kids,
04:45simply for the fact that I would love to try for an LP,
04:48the second one being a boy, so I'm roping him in somewhere.
04:51He can be in pretty much LP that looks just like me.
04:54Look, you have a grown daughter that looks just like you.
04:57We can have an LP son that somehow looks just like me.
05:00But we agree that we are going to love and cherish our solo time with Layton,
05:06at least until she's potty trained.
05:08But I want to have a chance to be an aunt, so I'm really hoping Alex and Allie stick together.
05:12I think that's a hard thing. Dating other little people is that's my problem.
05:15I don't know, I am a North Carolina girl through and through.
05:18I could stay in my little town the rest of my life and be completely happy.
05:21But not many men want to move to there.
05:23So I'm hoping he's already there.
05:25But then that most likely means he's not a little person.
05:27I tried the LP world, but the LP world just didn't really seem for me.
05:32Whenever I met Bryce, I mean, it was just, we connected well and no.
05:37Did I automatically think, oh, I wish you were little? No.
05:39I was like, cool, you're tall, because half the other guys I'd meet in the LP world,
05:42I was taller than them. Tall LP or a tall average man,
05:45I just wanted somebody taller than me.
05:47I keep telling you it's going to be some country hunk that decides to return,
05:50like a Hallmark movie, decides to return back to the boom.
05:53Or it's going to be a little person that we've never met.
05:56It's just going to pop out and they say, wow.
05:59I've always said, go short or go home. I am not going tall.
06:02I do not want to, uh-uh.
06:04Hey, and that's your preference.
06:05Yes.
06:06Average height men, they could be on the front cover of a Sports Illustrated magazine.
06:11I would not be attracted to them.
06:13I'm the opposite. I'm not going to lie.
06:14I look at a Sports Illustrated magazine, I'm like, dang, they're hot.
06:18And I would love to marry that.
06:20I just want a man that loves God, loves me, and will do all the car stuff,
06:24because I don't do car stuff.
06:26If he can pump my tire up, change my oil, we're good.
06:30My top three must-haves for a future husband is wanting a family and having a loving family.
06:37Always pushing yourself for, like, the relationship and, you know, actions and doing stuff with,
06:44doing actions instead of just words.
06:46Just being honest and putting me as number one.
06:50It's like when people ask us if we want little people babies or not.
06:53Mm-hmm.
06:54I'm sorry, but dwarf babies are just so stinking cute.
06:56Like, oh my gosh, they're big ol' heads.
06:58Yes, I'd want a little person baby, but definitely not my first one,
07:02just because it would be tough as, like, a young adult to, like, deal with, like, all the medical, like, conditions.
07:10Like, I know a close friend that they've been in the hospital for over a year.
07:15She has a little person baby.
07:17So, like, as my first, with my first kid at least, I would definitely prefer an average size.
07:24I would just try one more, try for a little.
07:27Yes, I've been through a lot of struggles in my life when it came to surgeries,
07:31and that just kind of comes with being an LP.
07:33But I would love to have a little kid, and Bryce would too.
07:36You have to always remember that health things doesn't just affect little people.
07:40It affects average size people.
07:42And, I mean, I think that would really just kind of complete our family.
07:45If we just had one tall, one little, it would be good.
07:49It's scary to think about is, like, you can have a dwarf baby, no problem.
07:52It's like, for me and Zach, if we were to have one,
07:55I have thought about just going through IVF and avoiding the whole double dominant thing.
07:59When a couple who both have acornoplasia dwarfism have children,
08:03there's a 25% chance that their child could be double dominant,
08:07which means their lungs, there's not enough tissue for that dwarf baby
08:12to be able to breathe on their own.
08:14Bryce and I, however, we don't have to worry about that.
08:16It's just a straight 50-50 doll, 50-50 little.
08:20If I want a baby, like, I don't want to go through,
08:23because my mom went through a loss with the double dominant.
08:25Just, I couldn't put myself through that.
08:27My mom and dad are both little people, and before they had me,
08:30they went through a double dominant pregnancy.
08:33And so it's like, that's a fear that I have,
08:34and just the thought of pregnancy doesn't make me excited for it.
08:37If I were to become pregnant, I wouldn't be happy,
08:39because of just that fear.
08:41The automatic stress of just wondering.
08:43The statistics of the life expectancy of a double dominant child is not,
08:48like, most of the time it doesn't make it past two months old.
08:51When did you know with Layton that she was average?
08:53Average? We kept going back and forth. Oh, my God.
08:55That was stressful.
08:56Layton is beautiful.
08:57Trying to figure out little or tall and measuring the femur.
09:00But as soon as we saw her be able to ball up,
09:02she's average.
09:03She was able to get in the field position.
09:04She's got too much body.
09:05Yeah.
09:06Which I love her to death.
09:07It would not change anything for the world.
09:09I was the first one to know that Elizabeth was pregnant.
09:13I was the one to, like, hide, like,
09:16the fact that she was going to doctor's appointments,
09:18going to get ultrasound, and I supported her.
09:20Like, it felt great to, like, have a sister bond.
09:22But it's sad that once Mom and Dad knew,
09:25it was just me pushed away to the side.
09:28That'll be a night I will never forget,
09:30is you calling and telling us.
09:31Uh-huh.
09:32I was sitting in Boston,
09:34and I get a call from Liz and Carol,
09:36and I was like, oh, shoot,
09:37we're either taking another girl trip,
09:38there's something going on.
09:39After telling, of course, Anna being the first one,
09:43I just needed to get it off my chest with them.
09:45And so before I went out to dinner with Bryce that night,
09:48I decided to call and FaceTime and tell them.
09:51And they were pretty...
09:52I think she just wanted the support, too, because...
09:54Yeah, because Bryce and I were iffy at the time.
09:57She was nervous.
09:59She just needed her girlfriends to help her.
10:01Yeah.
10:02And we were shocked, too.
10:03We were like, oh, my gosh!
10:04And apparently this one didn't believe.
10:06Like, even at your baby shower, I went,
10:09and I was like, sorry, there's still no way she's pregnant.
10:11Like, I just can't believe that, like, she's pregnant.
10:14And then, like, your belly was big,
10:16and I was like, I think she's pregnant.
10:19I think she really is.
10:22It is crazy, because she was the first
10:24of our friend group to become a mom,
10:26and it's so sweet.
10:27It's kind of scary.
10:28You're like, wow, I'm growing up.
10:29I need y'all to catch up.
10:30We added a new little person
10:32to our little friend group.
10:33That's right.
10:34Yeah.
10:35We added another girl.
10:36Now, look at us, going from being 16,
10:39talking about proms.
10:41Now we're talking about babies and engagement.
10:44I know.
10:45You got to keep me in the loop
10:46so I can start training her to be a flower girl.
10:48I got to find a plus one.
10:50Stacy's available.
10:51I am available.
10:58Let's go paint...
11:00Layton's birthday plate.
11:01Layton's birthday plate.
11:02Layton's birthday plate.
11:03Yeah.
11:08So today, Lolly and Aunt Emma are with me,
11:11because for one of Layton's birthday gift items,
11:15I have always wanted to make her a birthday plate.
11:17So Layton, coming up on her first birthday,
11:20this is kind of like the start of her birthdays
11:22here in the future.
11:23And each year, she will have a pretty little plate
11:25to eat on with a piece of cake.
11:27I'm trying to get my font app to load,
11:29because I could go off of it to Payton.
11:31Layton's name.
11:33Yeah, let's see some inspo.
11:37Personally, I've always liked homemade gifts,
11:39because you can buy anything online,
11:42but, like, stuff made is stuff that you get to keep
11:44and carry on.
11:45You know, I can't wait to think about
11:47doing this with Layton.
11:48Like how you used to take us doing this kind of stuff.
11:51Bryce keeps talking about taking her hunting and fishing,
11:53and I'm like, okay, you do that,
11:55and I'm going to do all the fun princessy stuff.
11:58Bryce is actually putting together Layton's
12:00first birthday gift.
12:05Does Elizabeth know you're doing a tackle box,
12:06or is it all a surprise?
12:08I told her I do some,
12:09but I don't think she knows I'm doing a tackle box.
12:11She'll like it.
12:12The tackle box is for you to teach.
12:14Yeah.
12:15Layton's.
12:16Hopefully she likes fishing.
12:18You got to remember no matter what,
12:19it's all about the moment, not about fishing.
12:22Yeah.
12:23I can teach her a lot of things.
12:24Number one objective is to be done
12:26before the girls get hung,
12:27because I bought three different frames
12:30for Layton's lullaby.
12:32If I show them three different frames,
12:34they'll tell me which one to use.
12:36Yeah.
12:37When Layton was born,
12:39every Thursday for about four months,
12:41I kept Layton.
12:44It's okay.
12:45Look, Papa's right here.
12:46I would sing Layton this lullaby,
12:48and she would stop fussing and stop crying,
12:51and 10 years from now, 15 years from now,
12:5320 years from now,
12:54if I'm not here,
12:55I wanted Layton to know this song.
12:56Hey, little Layton, don't you cry.
12:59Papa's gonna sing you a lullaby.
13:01And if that song don't make you smile,
13:04Papa's gonna sing it for a long, long while.
13:06Hey, little Layton, look at you now.
13:09You're the sweetest little girl in this town.
13:11And it's a lot of jibber-jabber after that.
13:14It really worked.
13:15Yeah.
13:16Elizabeth says she has sang it before to her,
13:18and she stops her fussing.
13:20Mm-hmm.
13:21Can you believe that you've only been an aunt for a year?
13:25It doesn't feel like it.
13:27When Layton first came home,
13:29she definitely was still, like, very tiny,
13:33and she didn't really do a lot because she was a baby.
13:35Now she is talking.
13:38She is crawling everywhere, playing with toys.
13:42She definitely has more of a personality now.
13:45Oh, yeah.
13:46I'll never forget how I got there halfway
13:48just sitting there waiting to be gloved.
13:50She's like, you ready?
13:51And I was like, hell, I don't know now.
13:53Laying on the table.
13:55And then, God, it didn't even feel like a second.
13:58Then I woke up, and then Bryce is just right there.
14:00And then I see Layton.
14:02And then we passed the window.
14:03I saw y'all.
14:04And then I do remember crying out the window
14:06seeing all y'all.
14:07When we heard that Laying came out safe
14:10and she's healthy as well as Elizabeth,
14:13I was really relieved.
14:14First time holding my niece,
14:16I was definitely a little bit emotional
14:18and definitely, like, wow, she is finally here.
14:23It does feel surreal that I'm about to have
14:25my daughter's first birthday, though.
14:27Time flies when you're having fun.
14:29Sure is.
14:30Yeah, you got too much fun.
14:33Just saying.
14:36You know what's crazy?
14:38The other day, you guys were telling us
14:40y'all were having a baby.
14:41And tonight, we're making birthday presents
14:43for our first birthday.
14:44When Elizabeth and Bryce told us
14:46that we were going to be grandparents,
14:48I wouldn't be real if I told you
14:49I wasn't disappointed in the beginning.
14:51It wasn't the plan for our daughter.
14:53It took a lot for me to accept it.
14:56I think it would be safe to say that all three of us
14:58might have had the same disappointment, just that...
15:00That it happened right now.
15:02That it happened right now.
15:03And, of course, everybody told us it's amazing,
15:05it's a blessing, and you're going to love it.
15:07But nobody ever told us that we would love seeing
15:11our daughter be a mother.
15:13Watching Elizabeth be a mother is great,
15:15it's rewarding, and I'm grateful today
15:17that I am a grandfather.
15:19Will Elizabeth really put this on the wall?
15:21Yeah.
15:22You know, there's something to do with Leighton,
15:23and you did it.
15:24I'll hum that, hum something like that
15:27when she's, when I'm weighing her down at night.
15:29She'll fall asleep.
15:31Seeing Bryce as a dad, he's wonderful with her.
15:33He is more patient with her than Elizabeth is at times.
15:36But that's their personalities.
15:38It's cute now to see when Bryce walks in the house
15:41and she turns around and sees him.
15:43She'll drop down and crawl across the floor
15:46and reach up to him.
15:47And our kids did that to me
15:49when I would come home from work.
15:50It's a good feeling.
15:51I love being a dad.
15:53Just whenever she buries her head in me
15:55when she sees somebody else.
15:57She don't recognize.
15:58There's times when you've seen Leighton reach for you.
16:01Yeah.
16:02When we've been in a crowd,
16:05and she might already realize that you're taller than us,
16:08and she wants to be higher away,
16:10you know, farther away from people.
16:12Yeah.
16:13She lights up whenever she sees him,
16:17and they're very sweet together.
16:19And it's hilarious because there are certain things with Leighton
16:22that I have seen in Bryce.
16:24Like, they are very similar in their demeanors.
16:27Like, Leighton likes her own space.
16:28She's going to turn the pages at her own pace.
16:31Bryce likes his space.
16:32He is going to take his time doing whatever it is he's doing.
16:36It's hilarious.
16:37Some facial expressions.
16:38Oh, my God.
16:39Like...
16:40There's been some ways she's smiled at me,
16:42and, like, just looking at her, I'm like,
16:44I mean, that really honestly looks just like...
16:46Looks like you.
16:47Yeah.
16:48He's a great dad.
16:49Very sweet.
16:52Over his last year,
16:53what do you think's been your most, like, rewarding?
16:56I think the big thing is we finally got Leighton
17:01in a good sleep routine.
17:03That's what I'm saying.
17:06I feel like that's, like, more of the times
17:08where me and Elizabeth struggle.
17:11You know, when she wakes up during the night,
17:13we're half asleep and we're yelling at each other
17:15while we're half asleep.
17:16Y'all got to work together.
17:18Elizabeth's patients are about like mine.
17:20They're as short as our legs.
17:23Yes, sir.
17:24But I think both of y'all have done good.
17:26Thanks.
17:27We try our best.
17:29We do have the best little girl in the world,
17:32and we want to be the best parents to her,
17:34because, I mean, she deserves it.
17:35She's the sweetest little girl,
17:37and we just want her to always be happy.
17:40Put a little saying on it.
17:42I love you so much, Daddy.
17:44That's it.
17:45Looks good.
17:48This is Leighton's first tackle box,
17:50and I can't wait to get her to use it for the first time.
17:53So, I think she'll love it.
17:56Mine's just a simple little wall art
17:58with my handwriting of her lullaby.
18:04You all done?
18:05Mm-hmm.
18:06That's so cute.
18:07That's so cute.
18:09I am super happy with how my plate turned out.
18:11I think I did a fabulous job,
18:12and I hope Leighton loves it just as much as I,
18:14enjoy just doing it.
18:16Look.
18:18Yeah, they'll sit on me.
18:20I think googly eyes elevate when you're not the best painter.
18:26And the reason why we do ladybugs is because that's what we call Leighton.
18:30All right.
18:31Let's do it.
18:32Let's do it.
18:34Let's do it.
18:36Let's do it.
18:37Oh, I got the dream and I got the money.
18:47This is my life and I love this life.
18:57I was born to be a winner, baby.
18:59Wow.
19:00Spicy.
19:01Tonight, I needed a break from all of Leighton's party
19:05and luckily my friends hit me up and we kind of planned out a poker night to
19:10obviously catch up but also give my brain a refresh and a reset. We'll throw in a
19:16white chip. The outfits tonight is poker night. Let's just do suits but just the
19:22top half. I didn't get the memo. Two white chips. I don't know if you've
19:29both are not. Just give me your best poker face. You're trying to squeak. You have an awful poker face.
19:53Ready? Three, two, one. Let it go. Pair of ace, pair of queens.
19:58Yeah, you got it. Yep, you got it. That was Ashley. Good. I mean, there's a lot of peace of mind that goes
20:05with being in a relationship when you're long distance. She knows I ain't going anywhere and
20:08vice versa. Ashley's my forever person. We've gone through a lot and there's nobody else in the world
20:17that I'd want to do life with. I don't know. I've never really done long distance though. Bro,
20:22long distance is the worst. It's the best. It's not the best. There wasn't no peace of mind for me
20:26and long distance. I hated every second of it. I haven't dated in my own state ever.
20:32Well, I had some close distance. So, I'm recently divorced about a year ago now. I haven't really
20:38been back in the dating scene since. I've tried here and there but haven't really got back into it.
20:44What's the reason? How did you know it was time to break up? Well, that brings me to red flags.
20:48When, like, communication fell off or, like, the general care in the whole matter fell off. Like,
20:56if there's no effort, I guess that's what I'm saying. That's, like, when I'm like, oh, yeah,
21:00I'm out. Well, the relationship, like you say, is work. You can't just stop building it.
21:05What is, like, an automatic ick for you? You're out, red flag, game over. I can't stand when you're
21:12hanging out as a group and, like, the person you're with just gets loud for no reason.
21:17My immediate ick is people who bend down and talk to me. That's good. That's good.
21:21When an oversized person kneels or squats or leans over to talk to me, stand up straight and
21:27talk to me because I'm standing up straight talking to you. A height does not separate us.
21:31Always, like, texting and never, like, calling to talk to each other. Not loving dogs.
21:37Poor hygiene in general. That could be, like, body odor, bad breath, all that stuff. Like,
21:44that just grosses me out. Mine, it'd probably be if you don't like Taylor Swift.
21:50God rest his soul if he's not a Taylor Swift man.
21:54I don't know how your first date played out, but, like, I kind of knew there it might
21:58could go somewhere. Did you have that love at first sight type?
22:02Not for her. Me to her? Yeah. But her to me, no.
22:05Oh. Yeah. Did you?
22:06Hell yeah. I was in the same boat as Slimmy.
22:09Now y'all are both at a place where it's getting to the point where there's a, you know, ring
22:13talk involved. I could be with her right now, but mine's strictly finance. I have not thought
22:18of how I was going to propose. Obviously, with the ring. Gotten that far. Don't know where
22:23the setting will be. But don't really have a timeline. I'm living things day by day and
22:28waiting for her to, you know, finish school. It'll happen.
22:32It scares the hell out of me.
22:33What makes you scared?
22:34Not, like, scared of her, but, like, I guess the fact that, like, getting a little bit older.
22:40Jonah and Ashley's relationship is a good relationship. They've been together for quite
22:43a while. But I think it's going to be kind of like the tornado. Bam. Tornado's here.
22:48Everybody take cover. That's how we're going to find out through Jonah. This is not like
22:52hurricane weather, where we have this long notice and we all have time to prepare.
22:57Why do you relate away to some of the worst disasters?
23:06It just comes to a point where if you're ready, nothing's going to stop you and nobody should
23:11stop you. But it's your call on when you're ready.
23:15Yeah.
23:17Are we going all in right here?
23:19Yeah.
23:21Three, two, one. Pair of sevens.
23:23Pair of jacks.
23:24Pair of fours.
23:26Pair of jacks wins it.
23:27Let's go.
23:29I hope we're better at relationships than poker.
23:31Yeah.
23:32What are you doing?
24:00Why do you have a ladder?
24:02Actually, I've got my mom's quilt.
24:05Why are you hanging the quilt over?
24:07Sound barrier.
24:09Oh my gosh.
24:10We haven't loved in a long time.
24:11We've just done like fast loves.
24:15And it's always like there's too many people.
24:17So you know what tonight?
24:18I got about a half inch of homemade sound dampening.
24:22The makeshift sound dampening.
24:25Is to make the outside world in our home not hear us in the bed.
24:32Oh my gosh.
24:33Yes.
24:37Dad.
24:38Oh good God, I swear.
24:40Dad.
24:40What?
24:41What are you doing?
24:42Banging.
24:43Yeah, what are you banging?
24:44I'm about to bang your mother.
24:46That's right.
24:46Go away.
24:47Turn the TV back up.
24:48I bet she won't ask me that again.
24:51God, Trent.
24:53She's 19 though.
24:53She can hear that kind of stuff.
24:58This is going to stay up for a while.
25:00Did you notice something else?
25:01Yeah.
25:02Why do we have the TV covered?
25:04The other day, I walked by this.
25:09Oh my gosh.
25:14Very, very original.
25:16With Leighton turning one so quickly, it sometimes makes you feel like, wow, you're aging very
25:23fast too.
25:24It's important to me not to forget about my relationship with my wife and for us to keep
25:30that love and keep that spark.
25:32You have to learn to continue to love and love in different ways.
25:35Do you feel like a lolly?
25:37Definitely a lolly.
25:39Lollies can be pretty hip.
25:40Yeah.
25:41But this year though, of being grandparents, it was good.
25:46But the second year, I have a feeling it's definitely going to be a lot more busy and moving.
25:54She's already going to move.
25:55Yeah, I know.
25:55But it's really going to be on the move.
25:58Do you think they're going to be here another year?
25:59No.
26:00I mean, it'll depend on if they find a house that's already built or if they move forward
26:06with wanting to build.
26:07But I don't know.
26:09I mean.
26:11After speaking with the builder, we don't think we're money ready to necessarily build on a
26:16home on the plot of land that, you know, my parents purchased.
26:19So we are going to go back to looking at potential homes to buy off the market to save some money.
26:26Are you going to be sad if they move out and Leighton moved out?
26:28Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to be a change for all of us.
26:32I mean, I miss Elizabeth and Bryce, but especially her.
26:35But it'll be good for Elizabeth and Bryce and Leighton to be on their own.
26:40And that's something else that has, I think, grown a lot in the last, probably more so in
26:46the last three or four months as Elizabeth and Bryce as a couple and as a...
26:54Well, they know what needs to be done and they don't have to tell each other.
26:57Yeah.
26:57I see that now.
26:59Yeah.
27:01Elizabeth and Bryce have definitely grown as parents over the last year.
27:05If anything, can be trying that a child, bring a child into a relationship.
27:12Both parents have to work together and continue to move forward and work and communicate with
27:20each other on, you know, raising that baby.
27:23And they have done that.
27:24I definitely think they're figuring it out.
27:28And then we'll get our life back together a little bit more.
27:31Until the next thing.
27:32Probably something to do with Anna.
27:34I overheard Elizabeth and Emma talking about Anna and the party and if she was coming or I didn't
27:43ask if she was invited.
27:44I don't know if she was invited or if she knows about it.
27:46She knows when Leighton's birthday is.
27:48Obviously, she was there when Leighton was born.
27:51But was she sent an invitation?
27:54Not at this point because she's not speaking to any one of her family members.
28:00It definitely hurts and makes me upset that I was such a big part in the beginning.
28:06And I'm not part of Leighton's life right now.
28:08And she's about to be one.
28:10Like, y'all should have literally scratched out family drama and let me be there for Leighton's
28:17birthday party.
28:18If she really wanted to come to the birthday or wanted to have a relationship, we have told
28:26her multiple times, when you're ready, let us know.
28:31She chooses not.
28:33If she truly wants to be a part of her niece's life, she would personally make the effort to
28:37come and to see her and to be with her.
28:39But she showed none of that.
28:42At the end of the day, if she was here, it'd just be awkward.
28:45Yeah.
28:46Leighton doesn't even know her.
28:47Yeah.
28:47She hasn't seen Leighton in months.
28:51I'm ready to go to bed.
28:53I think we should do a selfie.
28:55Let's do a selfie.
29:00Banging B-A-N-G-I-N.
29:02Yeah.
29:03Watch this.
29:09I'll be out with some more surprise.
29:13Banging B-A-N-G-I-N.
29:15Banging B-A-N-G-I-N.
29:15Banging B-A-N-G-I-N.
29:16Banging B-A-N-G-I-N.
29:17Oh, I feel so young to fruit.
29:22I get everything, I'm living like I'm supposed to.
29:28Are you the birthday girl?
29:30Are you already farting out?
29:31Say hi.

30:31i enjoy having my niece around obviously but i still have a lot of stuff to get through first
30:45before i get baby fever so she's like the perfect dose of baby right now for us for sure elizabeth
30:51and leighton have the same amount of patience like like none so she gets that from her mama
30:57right that pretty dark hair is bryce yeah and the curls are from bryce too you're shy like you did
31:05i mean it took him years to like really conversate with us now if i talked about hunting or fishing
31:11it was like but i don't know enough about that i grew up being shy from people and i'm kind of still
31:19like that today and so i feel like lighting is the same way with you know big crowds cute she said
31:28yeah yeah a dada mama sometimes she's so there we go we'll start getting loud i guess the personality
31:37that she got from her mom is all the talking when she's around people she likes she talks a lot i mean
31:42she'll say it so loud you can hear it from all the way on the other side of the house
31:47i promise you there's only one person she absolutely despises and it's
31:51seriously my mom puts her on facetime and she hears her voice we automatic
31:56never she is not
31:59she's not wild about me some days it's like a love-hate relationship i don't know what she's
32:09got going on but um it's the i think i'm a little over animated so i'm trying to back off of that a
32:15little bit because some days she's like yeah other days just i'm like the goal for the first birthday
32:21party for me today was just not to make her cry it's about everybody i think so bryce's mom and daddy

33:28you get it i get it
33:32i just realized i was like crap we don't know if it's just because how abrupt she comes up to her
33:38if it's her voice if it's the way she looks here's here's what i think it is like when leighton
33:43sees the back of her she thinks it's like i don't know amber or elizabeth or somebody but whenever she
33:48turns around and it's like a total different face i think that's what scares her look it's a pretty
33:53cake oh yeah look it's a pretty cake

34:24my money has no healing what time can i spend it
34:29today we are celebrating miss leighton's first birthday and she's handling it like freaking
34:35fantastic the only time she's cried is around her nemesis aunt heidi she was doing amazing
34:41she's like ready to wear yeah this past year with liz and bryce being new parents it's been so sweet
34:59and they have taken it on so naturally you can tell leighton's very attached to mom and dad
35:05they got one more babe oh is that what i think it is oh it's her first fishable there's bryce's gift
35:11that he's excited for wait are you gonna go fishing with dad that is perfect
35:17you did good all day cute
35:22and her daddy actually made her a tackle walks to go with it for him to be a father is just amazing i knew
35:28he'd be a good one because he's just a very gentle person it's really been extremely exciting to watch
35:35him fall in love with this baby so much and with liz we just couldn't be any happier
35:42she said everything that i wanted to say all right we're going to do one last thing before we
35:48wrap this party up any type of event we have to have a competition and we are going to do
35:53pretty much kind of like a relay a baby relay race on your hands and knees crawling like a baby
36:01you have to weave in and out of the cones you have to go through the tunnel you have to go all the
36:06way around the bear and then through the presence we're basically doing heats so we're going to take
36:13the fastest for the grand prize all right on your mark
36:21we're not bear crawling we're late and crawling yes we're late and crawling late and crawling so bryce and
36:27i are pretty competitive and when there are events that we can go against each other it kind of just
36:31you know increases our competitiveness on your mark on your knees bryce all right on your knees get set go
36:39go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go oh you turned
37:01daddy long leg right here has an advantage with speed because
37:07this happens to be half of this so with their limbs they can go faster i've played sports and
37:14oh sports has nothing to do with it you did not crawl to baseball bases oh i wonder didn't i
37:20let's go college grads let's go on your mark get set go oh that is not crawling
37:30i definitely don't recommend crawling with the dress because the ones who had dresses on it's
37:37kind of seemed to struggle a little bit because we had to worry about butts or boobs showing so you
37:42might risk breaking the dress too yeah that's the biggest thing we're worried about is breaking the
37:46dress price and i just sprained my back just sprained my finger did like one of those jerks you always
38:05have excuses when you lose always go it's a competition for once just say you know what i
38:13sucked at that game i lost i twisted my back now i pounded your ass last night and i didn't hurt my
38:18back did i no i didn't and you seem to have a really good outcome in that so
38:22oh my god that hurts it's definitely hard i mean i actually crawl sometimes with layton and yeah i
38:32mean it does suck to crawl but hopefully should be walking soon play by the rules no cheating everyone's
38:41been cheating get set go when it comes to competitions and races in most cases
38:49and every such person is going to have the advantage yeah it's anatomy longer arms longer legs
38:59that's why little people like to sabotage the cheat it's all about the oh yeah
39:08okay the fastest was price thanks good job a great gift for layton i was doing it all for her
39:17i was like i'm gonna get this prize for her so i'm gonna try my hardest and i want it for her way to
39:23go all right thank y'all very much thank you everybody it means a lot to us that we still have
39:30a pretty big family a pretty big tribe of ours to join us for layton's first birthday but not having
39:35onna here really sucks because layton has definitely changed and grown so much in this last year and
39:42honest missed out on that but layton has a huge support system standing right behind her and we
39:48absolutely had a blast today and it's definitely a very memorable first birthday bring on year two
