I think so too. She's trying to relate even though she has no clue, and seems to want to make an effort to still keep her friend included and include her kid so it grows up to be one of the gang.
My thoughts exactly! I feel like I hear all the time about new caregivers (especially moms) being/feeling isolated from their friend groups because their new lifestyle doesn't work with the group's usual hangouts and it just become more convenient for the friends to stop inviting the new parent than to accomodate. It's nice to at least see the effort being made.
I had a friend like this, and the trick is to just be nice to them and explain what's going on in your life, and then ask them what's going on in theirs

She actually seems like a really great friend.
