| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. |
| 0:05.6 | On this week's episode, we have our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:08.2 | We have our special segment, Never Have I Ever, Parenting Edition, where we go from |
| 0:12.6 | glitz and glamour to down and dirty. |
| 0:14.9 | And we wrap it up with our BFPs and BFNs. |
| 0:17.5 | Let's get to it. |
| 0:20.3 | Hey, everyone. Welcome to the show. Hey, Laura. Hi, Shana. How are you guys doing this week? |
| 0:25.2 | Give us your check-in. How old's your baby? We're good. So my baby is eight months old this week. |
| 0:31.3 | Yeah. And it just keeps, time just keeps moving forward. It's strange and a little scary. What a concept. I know. And yeah, things are pretty good here. One of the big, you know, milestone things that is happening over here is that he, you know, baby boy's been starting to army crawl. He army crawls a lot. And he army crawls very fast. And I actually |
| 0:56.3 | was thinking he might never actually like crawl, but he is starting to get his knees under him more. |
| 1:03.3 | So just every once in a while, but he really is like pulling his knees up under him every once in a |
| 1:09.7 | while. And then he'll like flop back down on his stomach. And I think, I don't know if it's like a precurs knees up under him every once in a while and then he'll like flop back down |
| 1:11.0 | on his stomach and I think I don't know if it's like a precursor to pulling up or like I what I really |
| 1:16.3 | want him to do is push back into a sitting position which he hasn't figured out yet like if only |
| 1:23.3 | he would figure out how to get onto his butt he'd be so much happier because he'll like army crawl |
| 1:27.4 | army crawl and then be like what I don't want to be on my stomach anymore and |
| 1:32.5 | start like flapping his arms and legs and crying. And I'll have to come, like, save him. I'm like, |
| 1:38.1 | bud, you could probably figure out how to get onto your butt, you know? Like, have you given him |
| 1:43.9 | a lecture on how to go from being on your knees to get onto your butt, you know? Have you given him a lecture on how to go from |
| 1:46.0 | being on your knees to sitting on your butt? I have not given him a lecture. Is that what I'm |
| 1:52.0 | missing? Is that a parenting technique? I think so. Like college level lectures, long and drawn out, |
| 1:59.4 | I think is the way to go. Make sure he takes notes. Maybe using PowerPoint, yes. I have gotten on my own hands and knees and, like, showed him a couple times how it works. I have no idea if that helps. And I've kind of tried to, like, plop him down, you know, like, do it for him, but he does not like that. So anyway, so, but I'm just not sure. Like part of me thinks he's going to skip crawling altogether and part of me thinks, oh, but he does not like that. So anyway, so but I'm, I'm just not sure. Like, part of me thinks he's going to skip crawling altogether, and part of me thinks, oh, maybe he's just getting to it now, because, like, his friends, his age are crawling, you know, but he's just never liked getting his tummy off the floor. So we'll see. Let's just step in that direction. But he is so fast, army crawling. |
