Guess my type!
I’m pretty well established with it, just wonder if it looks that way!
Most recent pictures of myself have my kid, my friend’s kid, or both. 🙂
I’m a stay at home mom and I love it. Before this, I worked in investigations for a few different retailers and also loved that and I was very good at it.
I’m a super friendly person and it’s easy for other people to get close to me, but maybe not so easy for me to get close to other people.
I’m very likely to smile at strangers but unlikely to strike up a conversation. If I’m feeling spicy today, I might randomly give someone a compliment.
I’m very loyal as a friend and unlikely to get upset with someone easily, most of the time I chalk things up to a behavior being simply who someone is and not wanting to change them.
I will jump at the opportunity to be there for someone that I care about.
I’m more than an overthinker, if figuring out “why” could be a full time job…. Well, I’ve already done that. 😹

Worst cameras I’ve ever used
Just wanted to say- we purchased the Owlet sock and got the original Owlet cameras to go with it. The sock was a fine device that we still sometimes use at 18 months old and it gives some peace of mind when baby is sick, but these cameras? Horrendous.
The recent update forces me to use my phone instead of the iPad I was using as a baby monitor previously.
They freeze constantly leading me to believe she’s sleeping when she’s not. In the middle of the night I’m constantly having to reset it to make sure it’s actually showing me what she’s currently doing and over half the time, it isn’t. What’s the point in having a baby monitor that will alert me if she needs me so I can sleep better at night if they’re so unreliable I have to wake up and check them anyway?
The app crashes in the background on my phone all the time, so the background sound being on is useless. I was working out yesterday while she was asleep and I thought everything was fine until I opened the app to see that it had crashed in the background and she was awake and screaming for me for what could’ve been 15-20 minutes depending on how long ago the app had crashed.
The cameras won’t even load at all sometimes on the app when nothing is wrong, it’s just not in the mood to work right today, and then it’ll pull up no problem on my husband’s phone at the exact same time.
The connectivity is the WORST. Several times I’ve had the cameras just…. Randomly disconnect from my wifi in the middle of the night so my options are to go into her room and reconnect them manually and probably wake her up, or just hope I hear her when she does wake up. I’ve had to delete the cameras entirely and re-add them to the app more times than I can count.
All that said, I’m switching to plain analog baby monitors after this. The sock is fine but don’t waste your money on these cameras, if you have to choose between these cameras or just watching your kid yourself…. You’re much better off doing the latter.

To start off with- we have a referral for PT in and are just waiting to hear back from them, but it could be a long time before that happens, so I want some ideas just for in the meantime!
We were initially referred to neuro, but neuro had a look and said she seems totally fine and like she is on the cusp of figuring it out. They went ahead and gave us the PT referral just to help move things along.
I’m well aware there are tons of resources online, but I wanted to dial it in to be more specific to things that will work for her if possible, because some of the best suggestions I’ve seen are things she won’t let us do.
She can stand independently for up to 30 seconds at a time before lowering herself to the ground to sit. She has taken 1-2 steps on a few occasions before wobbling and falling over (gently like she expected it to happen). She cruises all day on the furniture and can easily shift from the couch to the coffee table even if it means having to stand or take one step to get over. She practices a lot with her toy shopping cart, which I have heard mixed opinions on (her pediatrician likes that she uses it but I’ve heard others advise against it)- video of her usual gait: https://imgur.com/a/zDJPUEl
She will not let us hold her hands to practice. She will not let us put our hands under her shoulders to practice. If we try to hold an object out of her reach to get her to walk over, it rarely works and she will usually just get frustrated. It’s obvious she WANTS to walk and has almost all of the elements down but just needs something to help nudge her, but she’s extremely independent and will only allow us to help her so much.
Is there anything else I can do to help her before PT calls us back?
