Cherishing the moments: ‘Literally every single day, there’s just leaps and bounds,’ she said. ‘It’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it’
Life changing: ‘We have Baby Shark on rotation,’ Diaz told Fallon. ‘We have Elmo’s Song. We have Sesame Street. It’s crazy. We’re like jamming out over there, and she loves it!’
Diaz confessed that her friends who were already moms were right when they warned her to cherish every single moment of her baby’s early life.
‘Literally every single day, there’s just leaps and bounds … and she’s not the same baby that she was yesterday,’ she said.
‘Yesterday is literally gone, and today is a new day, and tomorrow will be a new day that she’s a completely different baby,’ she explained. ‘But it’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it.’
And with Madden being a musician – he’s a member of the rock band Good Charlotte with brother Joel – there’s plenty of music in the house.
‘We have Baby Shark on rotation,’ Diaz told Fallon. ‘We have Elmo’s Song. We have Sesame Street. It’s crazy. We’re like jamming out over there, and she loves it!’
