I knew that everything would be different once I became a mother. My relationship at the time was rocky and I was contemplating leaving before I found out. With the knowledge that we were about to have a baby together, I told myself it was time to get serious and make sure I was putting in 100% before I just walked away. I buckled down and gave it my all, not for me, but for the child that deserved two parents if it could happen.…
My experience differed because I didn't think that the baby would be fussy and need a lot of time. This project affected my routine completely. I planned to get a lot of school work done during the weekend but it was nearly impossible due to the fact that the baby needed my attention most of the time. I also had to ask for days off at work, this also proves that when you're a mom you have to let things go in order to care for your children. After spending time with the baby it gave me a different perspective on teen pregnancy, I now know that you have to be ready to become a parent. Having a baby at a young age isn't…

When the baby started crying during class, I felt embarrassed and upset. Why did it have to cry then? I felt like everyone was judging me on how well I handled it. They were judging what I looked like, how the baby looked, how I handled him crying, what I said to him, and more. I didn't want him to cause…
Booming. The word brings to the mind an image of prosperity and strength, perfectly describing the post-World War II era. The economy is booming: people are making money after the war. The land is booming: buildings are being built and cities are expanding. The population is booming: celebration of the end of the war led to the infamous “Baby Boomers”. This is the 1950s, the Boom Generation. In this flourishing time, it is not surprising that people had money to spend on themselves and their hobbies, in accordance to the fashion and fads of the time period.…
On the day 6th of the month 9th of the year 2012 I observed the infant Alonso Herrera Rivera. Alonso is three months and a week old, his weight is 17Ibs with 7oz his height is 26in. The infant has a round head, dark brown hair with dark brown Chinese eyes, and rosy cheeks with dimples when he smiles and has a light skin complexion. Alonso is wearing a dark blue cowboy jersey with a dark wash blue jeans and blue hi top converse. When I arrived his mother was putting him on his crib, as he is laying he moves his arm like if he was stretching and stares at the celling. He kicks and moves his hand towards his mouth; he sucks his hands for a while and drools. The infant gets his hands out of his mouth and tries to lift his head like if trying to get u; he attempts doing this three times and gives up. Alonso continues to suck his hand and kick, his mother passes next to his crib and he stares at her she starts talking to him and he responds with a “GUU” “GUU””GUU”. His mother lifts him up and lays him on his tummy he starts to paddle his little arms and kicks, also he tries to lift his head up and soon gets a little angry and starts to cry, his mother lifts him up and puts her finger next to his mouth and he tries to suck her finger. It is time for him to eat, Alonso kicks more and cries louder as his mom is getting ready to breast feed him. He opens his mouth and starts to suck on the nipple as he gags the milk he locates his left hand on his mother’s breast and closes his eye. As he is eating he gently calms his kicking and falls asleep, his mother continues to feed him for ten minutes and gently pulls her breast away from him Alonso gets startled and flings out his arms. He islied on his crib and smiles as he…
It is unbelievable how time flies before our eyes when it comes to raising our babies. One moment I was joyful to find out I was expecting a beautiful baby girl, Jazlyn Nicole, to the next moment where I was heartbroken to know that my time with my baby was over since she was off to college. As parents, we play a huge role in their lives since we are the ones that mold our children into the adults they become since we see all the potential they have and encourage them through life. Throughout the raising of my child I was able to learn a lot.…
My infant observation, Christopher Myles Honeycutt, born January 21st, 2014. At 9:45am I arrived at Chris' home, which he was just waking up and getting his diaper changed. By 10am Chris was in his bouncy chair, while his parents made him and his brother breakfast. By 10:15am his father was feeding him cinnamon apple oatmeal, which he seemed to enjoy it because he ate 8oz of it in 15 minutes, but because he kept grabbing at his spoon he ended up with an ounce or two on him. (Feeding time is a good example of Erikson's Trust vs. Mistrust stage, because Chris' is trusting his father to feed him.) At 10:30 the mother prepares a bath for him, as she bathes him he smiles, kicks up water, laughs, and claps. (These are all signs of good sensorimotor.) By 11am he was bathed, powdered, dressed and put in his play area. Chis only sits in his play area before he starts getting fussy and begins yelling and babbling then precedes to get up and uses the couch to walk. (Which is a little early for him to walk according to a national average which is nine months). As Chris kept trying to leave his area, his parents would put him right back in his play area. (This learning process is called Operant Conditioning). And though Chris was getting really frustrated with his parents, he still continued to do it until about 11:45am, which was the time his dad came over to change his diaper. At 11:50am Chris and his father began to play and as his father tickled and played with Chris he showed great signs of social responses, like baby babbling, and laughing, and being shocked by his father hiding behind the couch and popping back up. (This shows me, he has normal brain development because he understand what’s going on and has reactions to actions around him.) After about an hour of playing Chris begins to get really upset, he was screaming, crying, and began chewing on his hands. So immediately his father put a binky in his mouth which he spits out and continues crying, a minute later…
I am observing a male who is a one year old. I am observing him during a volleyball match because he is our coach’s son. The environment is a gym filled of a lot of unknown people to him such as our volleyball team and we were all surrounded by him, at first he seemed to cling closer to his dad because he almost seemed shy around us. He just sat beside his dad’s foot and almost had a confused look as if he was thinking who are all of these people? He then began holding onto the chair and pulled himself up until he was standing. Of course we thought this was so cute so we all clapped for him and he started to smile. It then seemed as if he had warmed up to all of these strangers.…
