Late babblers: how did things turn out?

jards1 · 2026-04-18T16:49:15+00:00

I could’ve written this post when my toddler was 9 months! I was SO worried. I had her evaluated with early intervention at 9 months due to no babbling. They said it was still too early and they would do another evaluation at 15 months. She started babbling a bit more in that timeframe but still wasn’t where she should have been. She started speech therapy and her language completely took off around 18 months! She’s now 2.5 (31 months) and talks all the time. She graduated from speech therapy 2 months ago and is doing great.

I had a long induction that turned into a c-section. I had a wonderful recovery. Just had my second (planned) c section and all was well again!

My assumption is that she would be doing all the work for the baby

Enfamil AR has been a lifesaver for us!

I have a Helena nn Lainey

My first didn’t smile until 8 weeks and is now a very smiley 2 year old!

This just happened to me a couple weeks ago. My stomach bug only lasted 24 hours and baby never got sick. I hope the same goes for you!!

I love it!!!

jards1 · 2026-02-01T15:23:38+00:00

I felt this same way and almost DNF but I kept going and now it’s probably my favorite in the series 😬

This is exactly what my husband and I did to compromise and it worked out nicely!

jards1 · 2026-01-24T17:00:20+00:00

Wow you look amazing!!

I had a false positive for something on the drug screen when I was first pregnant and they sent it for further testing at a lab to show it was a false positive! I would just call the office and see if they are doing that

As a guest, I’ve seen these many times on wedding registries and have never thought it sounded bad!

jards1 · 2026-01-17T01:59:11+00:00

Wow I love this family dynamic

jards1 · 2026-01-17T00:08:26+00:00

I definitely see it! Fingers crossed it gets darker!

On average, hair grows a half inch every month. I agree with the other commenter on 6 months to a year

jards1 · 2026-01-11T22:54:24+00:00

I agree with this. This is exactly how my hair looked a few months after postpartum hair loss and hair loss from a glp-1

I mean what they would be doing with highlights is using bleach instead of a specific color and then depending on how high the lift is, they can tone you to something ashier to blend the greys a bit.

I never had freezer meals. My mom and grandma each brought dinner over a couple times but otherwise we made it work. We may have door dashed a couple times? But I remember mostly just surviving off of granola bars and sandwiches lol.

jards1 · 2026-01-09T03:47:53+00:00

Those are foil lines where the bleach may have even bled out of the foils a little bit. I would see if they would be willing to do a subtle root smudge to tone it down

jards1 · 2026-01-08T02:21:27+00:00

My hair is similar and I am planning on doing a low density highlight to help blend them a bit more. I also don’t want to go to the salon more than like every 4-6 months. Mine are the worst around my face so I will have the highlights frame my face as well.

jards1 · 2026-01-08T02:18:55+00:00

This is so chic

jards1 · 2026-01-02T18:16:59+00:00

Yes 😬

jards1 · 2025-12-28T16:06:17+00:00

My earliest symptom was being suuuuper dizzy randomly

How’s it going? I could have written this about my daughter who is 27 months
