Parker Week 11 – Signs of Love…
March 27, 2009
Happy Baby!
When babies are first born, they say that they can already recognize your voice, and that it doesn’t take long before they can also recognize your scent. After a month or so, they can begin to recognize your face. All this leads to them associating you as a primary caretaker. When they have needs, you respond to them (and based on the amount of crying involved, you’ll respond pretty quickly!)
It takes a little while before babies start showing signs of pleasure at seeing you. For a few weeks now, Parker has been showing signs that he recognizes me, and is happy to see me. When I pick him up from day care, or after a nap, or put him down on the changing table he sees my face, gets a big grin on his face and wiggles his whole body. It’s adorable, and it’s clear that he is happy to see me. It’s similar to my post about Xander when he was just starting at day care.
I think it takes babies a while to learn about their parents, but it’s nice to start seeing those signs that they might actually love us almost as much as we love them.
