What's one to do when on vacation with an infant but without a baby monitor?
Use cell phones to make one, of course!
Darrell and I didn't have a baby monitor with us when we went to the beach with Darrell's family, and since William was sleeping in a room upstairs there were a few times we were worried we wouldn't be able to hear him if he cried (or at least not until he got to a full-blown scream). So, we improvised with our cell phones; Darrell called me via FaceTime, and I propped my phone up in the room so it looked into the crib. Then Darrell turned his phone on mute so no sound would be transmitted to William (but we would still be able to hear him), and viola! Instant baby monitor. You can bet this won't be the last time we try this trick. Life hack for the win!
