Lilia's 18 Month Update!

She's grown sooo much! She's definitely a little girl now, and no longer my little baby =(

Actually, I just double checked and I guess her appointment isn't until Monday! But add me on facebook to see how much she weighs then: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/GabeandJesss/136509159703383?sk=wall&fi...

I don't understand why you give praise and not punishment, in life if we do something wrong we get punished for it. as a mom you prepare your kids for what they will face in the future. I teach my son that doing bad things gets you punished and doing good things gets you praise, because in life that's how it is.

[GabeandJesss]

@EmmettsMomma2010 I agree. When you do good things you have good consequences and when you do bad things you have bad consequences. However, at 18 months old, she is just now learning the difference between right and wrong. I don't believe it's right to punish her for something she doesn't know is wrong. She simply won't understand and she'll get confused. So instead of punishing her for something she doesn't know was wrong, I praise her for what she did right. Babies like

@EmmettsMomma2010 praise. So I'm teaching her the difference between right and wrong in a positive way instead of a negative way.

@gabeandjesss Jess, I've watched you since the absolute beginning, and love your optimism. I just found out my husband and I will be welcoming our first, much anticipated baby in August, and I think had I not watched your vids, I wouldn't feel as prepared as I do now. Because of you I feel passionate about breastfeeding, and I plan to do it exclusively for six months, minimum. Your vids DO make a difference, and I hope you always make them :)

[GabeandJesss]

@awildrileyappears Wow congratualtions!! I'm so happy for you! And I'm SO glad I've helped prepare you. Let me know if you ever need advice or help with anything =) Yay for breastfeeding!

Hi Jess I just subscribed today! I had heard of your channel through a lot of other YouTube'ers and finally came to see for myself. You're adorable! Being a mommy is the greatest most amazing gift EVER! I have two myself and love them more than life. I was wondering if you could make a quick video (or let me know if there is one already) on how you do your eye makeup. I think it looks so pretty especially the top liner how it's smudged or something. Thanks! Congrats on becoming a mommy again!

[amannndaa]

You are such an amazing mom Jess. Lilia and the twins are so lucky to have you!!

[niekalee305]

So Cute! I totally agree with you praising her before she does anything to get punished. It's a good way to prevent a negative behaviour.

@SoniaScorpios Don't worry..I have the same question..:/

[sakurarose89]

She is ADORABLE!! You're an amazing mom!! Just wondering, what's on her noes exactly? Looks like a scratch...

[AsylumCriminal]

@SonyaScorpios Yup you got it all right lol but you should watch everyone of the vids from when drake appeared it gets interesting.

[AwakeningSunshine]

I'm just wondering, how would/do you discipline Lilia if she did something really bad, like hit somebody or something?

[SonyaScorpios]

Guys sorry, i am new and i really don't want to say something wrong.. :/

.. Lilia is the little cute girl and she is Gabe and Jessica's daughter, right?

And these two twins that are coming soon are Drake's?

I was watching all the vlogs :)

Ps. Good luck with twins Jessica, eheh ;));))) <3

@GabeandJesss I am a Pre-k teacher for 4 year olds and i promise that positive reinforcement works so much better than nagative reinforcement!!! Do not let anyone tell you different!! you're doing a great job :)
