Fun Facts Friday

It is often said that instinctively parents know by the sound of their baby's cry weather they are hungry, needing their diaper change or just tired. Don't worry if you still trying to figure out your baby's first language, it may take a little time to recognize the different tones of each cry. As time goes by you'll become fluent in "CRY" and will easily identify your baby's unique way of communicating their needs. From the loud shrieking of discomfort to a more subdued whimpering of fatigue, each request will be made with a different cry. Although "CRY" is the universal language for baby's they all "speak" it a little differently, in fact some baby's will howl for no reason at all. But no matter what their need may be more often then not you'll be able to meet it. just by the sound of their cry.

Every pair of sweet little feet is an inspiration to me! Look at how those little toes flex and bend to grip and balance as they walk.

This is what inspires me to create Mini-Mocs! See how the supple soft premium leather flexes easily with every natural movement of baby's walking feet. I never imagined that those tiny little toes could bring such BIG INSPIRATION!

Take a deep breath baby...

Babies look like little angels when they're sleeping. But often new parents spend a good part of each night bent over the side of their baby's crib, checking to make sure their angel is still breathing. Until you learn your infants breathing patterns, watching your baby taking irregular breaths can be nerve wracking. Rest assured that those slight pauses and then periods of rapid deep breaths are perfectly normal.  Occasional moments of irregular breathing is part of the development of the diaphragm, the muscle that enables breathing.  Pauses of up to 20 seconds are considered normal. By the time your baby is about 6 weeks old they should develop a more regular breathing pattern.

Let's Go "Skin"ny Dippin'... 

Before babies are born they are suspended in a warm & lovely pool of amniotic fluid. During pregnancy your baby's skin is protected from this watery world by a coating of a white waxy material called vernix. After baby is born & their skin is exposed to the air and the vernix is rubbed away, the upper layer of their skin dries out and begins to peel. A baby's entire body may peel (but it's most noticeable on the hands and feet). it is important that you don't try to pick off the flakes -- by doing so you may end up removing skin that's not ready to be shed. Baby lotions do not stop this shedding and are not necessary. This "skin shedding" usually lasts one to two weeks.

It's a bird... It's a plane... It's SuperMoth...   

...and it's amazing to watch.

While spending some time in my yard this past weekend I found myself hypnotized by what I thought were the tiniest hummingbirds in the world.  After doing a little "googling" I discovered I had been watching the infamous and very cool Clear Winged Hummingbird Moth. What a brilliant impersonation...  and totally inspiring to me.
