In this episode, we’re talking all about the weird, hilarious, exhausting, and unexpectedly emotional things happening at the 9-month mark — for Grayson and for us.

From zombie crawling and alligator-level diaper changes to sleep going backwards, food ending up all over Sophia’s shoulder, and the sudden arrival of full-blown baby tantrums… we’re asking the question every parent seems to ask at this stage:

Is this normal?

We also get into the emotional weirdness of hitting the 9-month milestone, why it feels strangely huge, and the little things currently saving our lives — including one scientifically-engineered baby song that works like actual sorcery.

Plus:

•  Easter weekend with the family 
•  the food intolerance test that gave Sophia some long-awaited answers 
•  why Bradley is deeply offended by having “sexy little legs” 
•  being sick while your baby is also sick 
•  and why ChatGPT has basically become part of the parenting team 

If you’re in the thick of baby chaos too, this one’s for you.
