Although life with his kids and Murgatroyd, 38, is busy at the moment, Chmerkovskiy said he is enjoying the stage that his family is currently in.

"And so, here's the thought that I had," he continued in the clip. "I look at Shai and I'm like, 'Damn, I miss the days when he was a baby. And then I turn around and I got a baby."

Turning to Rio, Chmerkovskiy then said, "But this one, we're like, 'Oh my God, he's so big. Look at how big he's already gotten. Remember when he was just a little tiny 1-week-old?' "

"And then bam, there's a tiny 1-week old right next to him. So, at the moment, we get to enjoy both sides of it. The -

current side, and the sort of reminiscing about what Shai used to be like as a baby, for example," the proud dad concluded.

In a second clip, Chmerkovskiy described his life as "crazy" and admitted he was feeling some physical side effects because of it.

"We're also exhausted and my shoulder is stuck," the dad of three confessed. "It's called frozen shoulder. But it's okay."

He ended the update by telling his followers that Rio woke up at 6:15 a.m. and wouldn't let him sleep in, despite his attempts to do so.

"He said no, and our day has begun," Chmerkovskiy concluded.
