Yes! That’s the one. Wow, that video is as upsetting as it informative. I imagine alex is that terrifying face they use to scare the monkey and the soft mother is….literally anything else

Alex remains low on content. Noah hasn't been appearing, and Ari footage is scant.
She posted this picture of Ari, looking chubby and happy in a strawberry outfit:
Then quiet. Then, yesterday (Alex's Thursday), she posted this pictures of smoothies:
Reddit noted that, in the past, Alex has said that carers prepare multiple drinks for her when they won't be around (so she has access to multiple prepared drinks).
This is a still from a video-- with deeply cursed sound-- of her drinking the smoothie. My ears will never be the same. Also, that eye makeup was a choice.
She posted several talking stories, saying that she was doing more cooking and planning to show meal prep for that night (Thursday night). She also said that she was going to show some stuff in the apartment, including how she'd removed the bathroom door so she could get her wheelchair in there. She promised to show lots of things later in the day but, interestingly, never showed any of it.
She looked topless but did clarify that it was actually a tube top. And she does appear to have something on her lower half:
The first strawberry onesie picture was posted either Tuesday or Wednesday; I don't actually remember. On Thursday, though, she posted these pictures of Ari in that same outfit:
Ari never wore the same outfit two days in a row at the Smith home. Alex has recycled footage before. Were these even taken on Thursday, or were they from the same day as the original photo? During the talking stories that preceded this photo-- during which time she said Ari was nappping-- the washer and dryer weren't audible, though a TV was absolutely blasting in the background.
About 20 minutes after the photo of Ari with the washer, she posted this view of the water:
You can see she's outside and looking slightly down on the sidewalk and the tables with the blue umbrellas.
Then, a little later, we had this photo of an outdoor area with a Mardi Gras theme. There are bars all around here, so I assume it's one of those:
Not sure it's even worth trying to figure out which bar. It's an outdoor bar setting, and Thursday night is "Thirsty Thursday" for students. I have no doubt that she was out drinking.
There's one new grid post, another sex toy ad. Comments are being monitored:
Every time I look at Ari, I'm just awestruck by how fantastically normal she is. Alex did just about everything wrong that she possibly could - including getting pregnant in the first place - and Ari has managed to be so wonderfully normal. That's something that doesn't get the appreciation it should, particularly from the people on Reddit desperately searching for something to be wrong with her.
Do we know what became of the filming of Ari's birth that was supposedly going to feature on a major television network? That seems like something Alex would be bragging left, right, and center about. Did it fall through?

She never mentioned it again, with one exception. During one of her rambling YouTube videos, she dropped in a casual mention of the filming and said she would share the footage. She never explained why the footage never aired-- if it was actually intended to air in the first place-- and she never followed up on showing the footage herself. I remember watching and recapping that video and wondering what happened.
I'm not sure she ever explicitly said the footage was intended to air on a public forum (versus being for teaching purposes or something), but I could be wrong. She's so ditzy and disorganized that it's often hard to tell what she's trying to articulate-- and that's down to her being stupid, not to SMA.
I hope the lack of a lot of Ari content means Noah is taking her back to his parents' place most of the time. I'm sure it's wearing on him, having to be Alex's asswiper and smoothie maker while watching an active, nearly-walking baby.
Alex hasn't been posting much at all. She's occasionally reshared some sort of inspirational quote to her stories, but there really hasn't been much. It's very odd: she was beside herself with excitement when she/they moved into the new apartment. Naked, out drinking, talking about decorating and cooking, getting fancy food. And then, without explanation, silence.
Here are a few things from the past week-ish. I wasn't recapping reshared stuff.
Grandma Smith is the one who likes Carter's: it's cute, serviceable, washable stuff that a baby can be comfy in.
She was probably out drinking, but I mainly saved this because it's so filtered that her nose and other facial features just disappear.
Cutie:
Grid post. Wearing clothes and everything!
Now let's move on to the big news: Alex hired a carer:
Someone has been sleeping on the couch. Noah? The carer? There's a pink pure on the end of the couch that isn't Alex's. Probably belongs to the carer? And Alex is covered up. Ari is properly dressed (which, to his credit, Noah usually sees to). This is also the first and only time we've seen Cairo at her new apartment, and we haven't seen his dishes or toys.
"Starting over"-- I'm really wondering if Noah is gone-gone.
"Never feel guilty for choosing yourself"-- spinning the narrative that this is all her idea?
Grid post. Once again, she's covered up, though I suppose she could be chilly if she's been sick:
NOAH WATCH: You tell me. I think he's gone. Maybe he comes by with Cairo and Ari, but I'm really not convinced that Noah and Ari live at the apartment.

I agree with you that Noah and Ari aren't there full time. If Ari was living there, she'd be posting a whole lot more of her stupid, lying crap pretending that she alone takes care of her. She can't even change Ari's diaper, get her food ready or put her in her high chair. I was really hoping that Noah would eventually go back to his parents' place. They've been so good for Ari.
Ari is adorable. Omg her little smile. I recall someone mentioning that exposure to Twerk Juice in utero might result in some reproductive issues popping up later down the road for Ari but I am going to sit here, atop my throne of rainbows, and hope she’ll come out without any lasting problems. Logically I know pretty babies don’t deserve a good life MORE than ugly ones, but it sure makes it easy to root for Ari when she’s such a little doll.
Alex remains quiet. I wonder if she's trying to come up with a way to spin Ari not being with her (if that's what's going on). Or maybe she's trying to get Noah to come back as her full-time carer. Something's up, and I really do think the Smiths may have outmanuevered her. If they actually encouraged her to move out, that was kind of genius: they wouldn't have to evict her, and, without Noah, she's automatically in a situation where she can't care for Ari. If that's what happened, they let her have exactly what she thought she wanted, and then they watched as it bit her in the bare ass.
A few selfies:
Just to see the reflection, which didn't reveal a lot.
There was also a video of Ari the cutie who is ignoring her mom, as usual:
I truly hope that she is in that apartment alone, having caregivers look after her as she gets to live the party lifestyle she wants.
Then Noah lives with Ari in his parents' home and tries to get sober while taking baby to visit Alex a few times per week.
Alex keeps up appearances on social media as if they still all live together and play happy families. Adoring fans swoon.
That cooking post she did - it was roasted fennel with crême fràiche, cinnamon, pears and dill. Absolutely bizarre flavour combinations, this woman should never instruct anyone in the kitchen.

The fact that she brings random Craigslist caregivers into her house is even more ill advised now that she has a child. I do sincerely hope Noah is always around when Ari is at Alex's house.
Wonder if they are broken up. I also questions Noahs borderline Dx. He doesn't seem all that fussed about Alex (as any normal person would), I would have expected some more fear-of-abandonment style breakdowns at the notion of her moving out. Borderlines rarely get involved with people in a way that allows for that kind of renegotiation. Obviously I acknowledge that we are very very limited in what we see of him but he just strikes me as a garden-variety knobend rather than a pathology.
The carer plot thickens. Alex talks about training that new carer . . . but her mom can be heard in the videos. Alex's mom is apparently a total mess in her own right, and she did move to Florida at one point to stay with Alex, her then-carer Mikey, and another roommate.
She looks odd in this photo. Something about the lower half of her face?
Cairo looks unhappy. He also loved the Smith house.
"New caretaker/nanny." Yeah, because paying one person to be a 24/7 nanny and caretaker is a super plan for an arrangement that will definitely work.
The photos of Ari on the chair are from last week.
Then there were lots of stories where she just shared the responses.
Ari's pants are on backward, which bodes really well for this caretaking arrangement. The deep, raspy voice you hear at the end is either Alex's mom or someone who sounds just like her. As you can hear, it's a pretty distinctive voice.
You can also hear the speaker in this one. And car horns from outside-- as someone in this thread who knew the area pointed out, it's loud. And the young, student-age tenants in that building are going to be unhappy about a baby beating on the dishwasher.
OK that's an interesting update...if the mother is around then it's both good and bad.
Good because it means Alex is getting decent care, bad because Jackie is a problematic alcoholic and it won't take long for there to be conflict.
As for Alex asking questions about when babies stop formula - how about asking Ari's pediatrician, if she even has one (X)?
Anything for social media content.
Profoundly disabled woman (with probably less than a decade to live) gets knocked up by druggie BPD dude who openly states he can only fuck her while drunk, and then gets to navigate having a baby and dealing with him and his family because she cannot do things for herself or the baby, all while maintaining what independence she can.
Followed by a video of her crashing a rap video being filmed in a parking garage or similar:
Then shows this photo of Ari's stroller-- but is Ari even in it?
That's not Noah's hand, and he doesn't wear an Apple watch. Both of his parents wear wedding rings on their left hands. Whoever this is has age or sun spots and wears a smart watch, no wedding ring. I suspect that it's still her mom, because Alex always hires caregivers who are her own age.
A photo of her mom, for reference:
Watching a bike race, I guess?
Still from video. She didn't say who's around, but there's a noise toward the end that might be Noah's voice. And he does make eggs a lot.
Then it seems like Alex crashed a bunch of parties?
"Everyone that meets COMMA Ari says that they have never met a happier COMMA baby ever lol this girl basically lives with a smile on her face."
I increasingly feel that Noah brings Ari by for visits, but I don't think Noah and Ari live there. And I suspect the "new caregiver" is actually her mom.
That is a bad picture of Ari to put online. I'm pretty certain that it's chocolate on her forehead, but the Reddit fags are going to freak the fuck out when they see it.

You are quite correct: they've already been zooming in on the photos again. One of Ari's knees looks maybe-dark, and they've decided it's a bruise. Ari is such a delightfully happy baby, and she lights up around her dad and grandfather (and possibly others, but those are the two that we see). I really don't know how they come to the conclusion that a baby who's trying her hardest to walk has knee bruises for nefarious reasons.
Also, new grid post from Alex:
Comments are being monitored, so they're not too exciting. She tags Ari's Instagram account, but she's assured us many times that she's totally not using Ari for content. Uh-huh, sure.
It says everything to me that Noah and his parents dress Ari in reasonable, comfortable clothing for a baby girl exploring her world: soft materials in practical styles. Meanwhile Alex is shopping for the world’s itchiest tulle monstrosity because she has zero empathy for her daughter.
Also I think that forehead goop is actually baby nose slime crusted on after a face-down nap. Totally normal for babies to wake up crusty when they have a runny nose. Generally you’d wipe that off right away but sometimes it takes a couple passes with a wet wipe or washcloth because they can sense you are trying to clean them and they resist your every effort.
Still not evidence that Ari’s getting beat, reddit.
