| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. This week we have our weekly check-ins. We have our special segment. Today I learned where we get some really questionable parenting advice from the past. And we close the show with our BFPs and B-E events. Let's get to it. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. This is episode 79. Hello, Shauna. Hi. Hi. So do you want to just |
| 0:25.1 | jump right in? Tell me how old your baby is and what you guys have been up to this week. Yes. She is |
| 0:30.5 | 11 months and four weeks. Oh, it's one of those weird, weird weeks, right? The little bonus weeks, yeah. Which means her |
| 0:39.2 | first birthday is just around the corner, but I can't report on that quite yet. So close. So close. |
| 0:45.4 | So close. What she's been up to this week is walking like crazy. It has just taken off. |
| 0:52.5 | Really? |
| 0:52.8 | Really interested in walking and working on her balance, preferring walking over crawling now. |

| 1:17.4 | Yeah, she doesn't have to use some other surface to get up in the standing position. Yeah, and she just |
| 1:23.1 | loves that. She's practicing that like crazy. And so I'm trying to baby proof a little bit more. |
| 1:28.7 | I got some clear corner covers for a bunch of the corners in my living room, which I love. |
| 1:34.5 | They would be a BFP, but I'm mentioning them now. And I can link to them in the show notes. |
| 1:38.4 | They're really great. So I've done that because, as I mentioned before, our yes space is just kind of the whole living room now. |
| 1:44.4 | So she gets free reign of that while I'm working. |
| 1:48.0 | So lots of exposed corners that I needed to cover. |
| 1:52.5 | How many come in a pack? |
| 1:53.8 | Is it like you get a good number for a lot of corners? |
| 1:56.9 | Yeah. I think you get like 20 or something like that. |
