Expressions

Do you ever wonder what goes through a baby's mind? Look at their expression and we see what we want to see. Imagine, being the baby, how frustrating is it to see, hear, taste, feel, and smell things and not know how to describe the sense.

Well, maybe, babies can communicate senses in their own way. In fact, we just started Calleigh on raw carrots and she invited the spoon with an open mouth. Soon after tasting it, she made a nasty look. After a few more tries, she just turned her head way. Eventually, we decided to add some breast milk to the carrots. Now she is eating it without compliant. So I guess babies do have their own way to communicate, it just takes some patience to watch and understand them.




Hmm.. Communication
It's very important to watch your baby's reaction to anything that happens because they will show you in their own way how they are affected. As they get older, they may decide to change the way they communicate as well. Right now Calleigh has a distinct annoyed sound which she makes when she is uncomfortable, wants attention, or is bored. Knowing this makes it easier for me to figure out what to do with her next.
