It was totally scripted. Missy and Bryan were on the beach and missy just happened to find a little tiki man in the sand. She showed it to Bryan and talked about taking it home as a souvenir. Bryan says "what's the worst that could happen?"

It's referencing The Brady Bunch when the family goes to Hawaii. The boys find a little tiki man on the beach and take it with them. Then they start to encounter a lot of bad luck. Finally they decide to return the tiki man to the beach and the bad luck stops.

Oliver's sensory situation is quite odd.. Last year when I took my daughter who was the exact same age as him at the time to the beach she ran right in and loved the feeling of the sand and totally explored the with her hands and feet.. And of course mouth .
They don't work with Oliver as much as they should to be honest... He doesn't speak the poor child.. My daughter will be 2 next month and she's a chatter box, it's weird seeing kids around the same age who isn't even interested in talking. I feel bad most times I watch the vlogs now because he doesn't get the much needed attention he should get at his age. HES A SPONGE MISSY AND BRYAN, TAKE ADVANTAGE!

Has anyone watched this blog again? She says she freaked out and needed to know the gender right NOW so they went to get the U.S.! She's a nut case !! Total nuts! Feb 16 blog 2013

I don't know why they would have put that tiki clip after the end slate, as soon as I see the end slate, I exit the video. It was so fake but I wonder if they did it for a hidden reference or just doing it to be funny.

I just have to say, and NOT trying to defend M or B, but in regards to the whole speech issue it MAY NOT be their fault. My son just turned two and has a major speech delay. And trust me, we work with him. A lot. But some kids (typically more commonly boys as the lady at the assessment told me) just take longer than others, or need the extra help. They should definitely be inquiring about speech therapy though. I live very close to them and there's a center near us that will assess them and can set up in home therapy. My sons insurance covers it 100%. Early intervention can be key IF there is an issue. It just kind of hurts to see so many negative comments about how much he should be saying, it's not always the parents fault. But again, we never see M or B working with him at all so who knows. Maybe if they did he WOULD speak more, OR maybe they just don't vlog about it. But as someone with experience in this situation sometimes it doesn't help. We will be starting our in home therapy in a week with my son and I'm looking forward to him getting the extra push and help he needs. I would be willing to bet Oliver would greatly benefit from something like that as well. Just had to get that off my chest carry on.

We've discussed this and recognize that some kids are slower to speak than others. The opinions here are solely based on what we see, which is a child that day in/day out is left to play on his own in the playroom, or sat in front of the same movie for hours on end. It doesn't appear that they are concerned at all, nor are they working with him. Heck, they hardly speak to the child!

Not judging all parents at all, just commenting on this situation. Poor Ollie is falling behind his younger YT friends, and has a mother that put more effort into teaching him to sign, than she does in helping him speak. He is falling behind, and his parents, who both have the luxury of staying at home with him, are completely in denial.

I sympathize with your situation, but it sounds much different because you recognized the issue, and sought out help. Missy won't because it doesn't fit the "perfect family" image they've created.

Lol at the end Bryan says they don't believe it and are getting a second (and maybe third) opinion lol

[mommyluvv]

Anyone else go back to see that Feb 16, 2013 vlog?

The ultrasound says Lanning, Melissa.

Could that be because she told them to put it that way, or was that her name at the time?

[ashleyrr2k]

I think some of you read too far into things lol.I think the tiki thing was something a little stupid to do while in Hawaii for their viewers.I thought it was kinda cute cause of the Brady bunch thing.

She was still under her parents insurance, so it's possible it had something to do with that. There are some people that don't believe they actually remarried though.

I went back and watched a few of the vlogs from that time. Now I remember why I liked Bryan! I also remember now why I thought he was gay . He looked much younger and healthier though.

I can't believe they had the same unsure U/S results thing happen with Gabriel, Oliver and now this baby. 3 times!!! Seriously, The Exact. Same. Thing. Is Melissa in that deep of denial, or is she stupid and doesn't remember her gut instinct has been wrong before?

Maybe she didn't want to disclose her full/actual name to the public due to safety reasons. People are crazy, if I was a YT blogger I wouldn't disclose my full name it's a scary world out there...that's just my thought on this subject

I'm sure it just hits a nerve because I'm going through it is all. But I do agree with you 100% they truly act like its nothing. Unless they are just embarrassed to talk about it or something. Maybe in denial who knows. But it's true he's always playing alone or watching tv. I hope for Oliver's sake they do seek out therapy for him. Especially with the few sensory issues he seems to also have in addition to the delay in speech.


I wonder if they even ended up scheduling that CT scan was it for that episode he had? I remember them mentioning drama with the insurance awhile back but I don't remember them mentioning a date? I know if it was my child I would be all over that shit getting one ASAP.

[SAHMof1]

Sorry for double post but I just thought of something, our in home therapist is going to be coming twice a week for our son. I wonder how they would "fit that into their busy lives" to make a commitment for twice a week for Olivier if he did in fact need speech therapy. Ours is for a year also (although they reevaluate at 6 months), I can't IMAGINE them committing to that with all their trips and weekly dates to the movies and whatnot. ::rolls eyes::

Maybe she never changed it on her drivers license or medical stuff. I still have things with my maiden name.

I really think he's ok… my daughter scared me with her speech, but I expressed concern at her 18 mont appt and our pedi told us that developmentally appropriate for that age would be 10-15 words. She knew 20, and I still thought she was behind, because my son was speaking 3-4 word phrases at 18 months. Now my daughter is turning 2 in a few weeks and is still way behind where my son was, but speaks a ton is seemed like it happened overnight. She was just a quiet observer, and is now kind of bossy actually! I only know what I read here because I finally weaned myself off of the DailyBumps… one can only take so much whining about how tiring life is as a mom of one. who stays at home. with her husband. #saysamomof3under3 #alsoteachkindergarten

These seizure things though… that sounds serious! Is there a vlog with one? I can't sift through 6 months of vlogs, but yikes! Did they seriously just ignore it?!

Melissa Lanning isn't her maiden name though, Hollister is. I don't understand what the problem is?
