Hey there! So, I’ve got some fun news for you. Jimmy Fallon is about to release a book on June 9 called Your Baby’s First Word Will Be DADA. This came from his own hilarious experience as a dad. He was told by his pediatrician that his little one’s first word would likely be “Dada” since it’s simpler to say than “Mama.” Well, he tried to pull a fast one by naming everything around them “Dada”—you know, like her bottle and even her strawberries—but it backfired on him! So, he decided to share his story and help other dads out there with their own baby tricks.
Fallon, who’s a dad to two girls, chatted with a parenting site and revealed that, despite being a celebrity, he’s pretty much just a down-to-earth dad—except for the fact that he makes his own baby food (his beet and Swiss chard pudding sounds interesting, right?). Here are a few of his funny parenting insights:
- “They barf a lot. For a moment, I thought about renaming my first child Linda Blair and calling in an exorcist, she was spitting up so much.” Haha, glad to know that vomiting isn’t just for the famous folks!
- He was amused by how people immediately switch to discussing poop when they learn he has a baby. “Oh, you’ve got a new baby? Is she sleeping? Is she pooping?” It’s a whole new vocabulary when you become a parent!
- He thought he’d never be that annoying person, but the second Winnie was born, he found himself showing off baby pics to a taxi driver. Classic!
- When asked who he’d trust to babysit his kids from his Tonight Show guests, he said, “Probably Will Ferrell. He’s a great dad and would be a super fun babysitter.” Personally, I’d pick someone like Tina Fey or maybe Carol Burnett!
- Surprisingly, he said his kids do wear hand-me-downs, but not just any hand-me-downs. “I’ve got all my nieces and nephews’ clothes, plus gifts from celebs that we donate to charities. It’s hilarious because we’re giving away stuff like Hermès booties. So, your baby could be dressed like a little Kardashian!” Can’t wait to see those little ones on Instagram!
