Father Says ‘Hello’ To 12-Week-Old Baby And Is In Complete Disbelief When Son Says It Back

0

Pediatricians and early childhood development experts are all in agreement that the time it takes for a baby to say their first word isn’t a predictor of future intellect. While some babies might take longer than others to say their first word, some babies completely shock their parents and family members by seemingly saying their first word fantastically early.

Meet Tom and Laura Webster, two young parents living in the United Kingdom who recently welcomed their little bundle of joy, Jenson, into the world. At three-months-old, Jenson is a source of light and happiness to everyone he encounters. This is why Tom and Laura practically always have their cameras rolling, hoping to capture each and every one of Jenson’s magical little moments.

One day, Tom was reclining on his bed with Jenson by his side while Laura lovingly filmed her husband and son. Tom was repeatedly saying “hello” to Jenson, slowly sounding out the syllables. Neither Tom or Laura thought that their infant son would actually be capable of repeating the word back to his father.

 

 

In a moment that’s shocked people all over the globe, Jenson clearly articulates the word “hello” back to his dad. Some might think that this child will grow up to be a genius, but remember, the time it takes a baby to say his or her first word isn’t a predictor of intelligence. However, it’s hard not to think that Jenson might be one smart cookie!

In the video, Tom himself can’t believe what he just heard. “[It’s got to be] a fluke!” the flabbergasted young father exclaims. Laura urges him to try to get Jenson to “do it again.” The young couple spoke with The Daily Mail, explaining their word choice: “It was the first word we asked him to repeat, as a joke we would say ‘mummy’ or ‘daddy’ but he started to sound out the letter ‘L’ so we changed it to ‘hello.’”

While we hate to put a damper on things or burst anyone’s bubble, most pediatricians and childrearing experts tend to think that babies’ early vocalizations are simply babble. And many commenters on Jenson’s story tend to agree, that the infant was simply repeating sounds from his father rather than talking. Nevertheless, the moment captured in the video is clearly a personal one for the family, with Tom telling The Daily Mail, “It was a moment to treasure, and I was delighted I got it on film.”

While many skeptics and experts have declared that there’s no way Jenson is intentionally saying “hello,” Tom strongly disagrees. “He has said it a few more times since!” he explained in the same interview. Tom asserts that Jenson is advanced for his age and that he also shows an awareness for when he’s being filmed.

Teacher Adopts Best Student after Seeing Him Asleep in Parking Lot, Later He Calls Her on Stage — Short Story

0

A childless physics teacher adopted her best student after discovering him sleeping in a parking lot after school. She raised him as her own son, and he made sure to recognize her contributions to his life by calling her up the stage during one of his awards nights.

Ms. Lane was a talented 53-year-old physics teacher who lived alone. She and her husband never had any kids, which eventually affected their relationship, and they filed for divorce.

Of all her students, Ms. Lane was particularly fond of a brilliant boy named Brandon. He was her star student, always passing her tests with flying colors and impressing crowds with his physics exhibitions.

“You’ll make a great physicist, Brandon. Keep at it, and you’ll do well! This could be your future profession,” she would motivate him. Brandon would nod and tell his favorite teacher that he would love to become a physicist one day.

 

 

Unfortunately, when Brandon got to his senior year in high school, his grades started to slip. “What happened to Brandon? Are his grades slipping in your subjects, too?” Ms. Lane asked her fellow teachers.

Mrs. Kimbell, the senior year history teacher, revealed that Brandon recently lost his mother. “He’s going through a rough time. He lost his mom, and he doesn’t want to talk to anybody about what happened,” she explained.

Ms. Lane wanted to try talking to Brandon to assure him he was not alone. However, no matter how hard she tried to speak to him, he remained reserved and had difficulty opening up about how he felt.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lane, I just can’t right now,” he reasoned. “There are some things I’d like to keep to myself at the moment, if that’s okay.”

“Of course, dear. Take all the time you need to grieve. I just wanted to remind you that you aren’t alone, and any time you need anything, your other teachers and I are ready to listen,” she told him.

One weekend, Ms. Lane went on her monthly supermarket trip. She parked the car in the big parking lot in front of the store, and that’s when she noticed Brandon sleeping on the ground next to where all the grocery carts were parked.

She saw that the area was filled with homeless people who were waiting by the store for people to hand out donations to them. There was a fire hydrant where they could wash and a small bonfire on the ground to keep them warm.

“Brandon?” Ms. Lane said as soon as she left her car. “What are you doing out here?!”

At first, Brandon’s first instinct was to get up and run away, but it was too late. Ms. Lane was already helping him up the ground. “Come inside the store with me. Put your things in my car.”

Brandon hesitated, but he decided to obey his teacher out of respect. They went inside the store, where Ms. Lane bought him a hot meal and some drinks. “What happened to you, dear?” she asked him.

“When my mom died, my father suddenly turned up at home with another woman. I didn’t like that he instantly replaced mom, so I ran away from home. I’ve been sleeping at the parking lot for several days now, but my dad never cared to look for me,” Brandon revealed.

“Sometimes, I sleep on the ground, but sometimes, a homeless man named Hunter would allow me to sleep inside his car whenever it got too cold. Thank God for Hunter because it’s been freezing recently, and I always feel like I’m about to catch the flu,” he added.

Ms. Lane felt terrible for her brilliant student. Without hesitation, she told the boy she would try to adopt him if social services would agree to remove his father’s parental rights.

Because the boy was nearing legality, the process was long and tedious, but Ms. Lane never gave up. She took Brandon under his wing, and he slowly got his life back on track.

Ms. Lane tutored Brandon daily after school, becoming a true mother-and-son duo. They went on trips, enjoyed making meals together, and volunteered to tutor young kids during weekends.

Eventually, Brandon landed a full scholarship to one of the country’s top science universities. He excelled in what he did and became a famous physicist.

One day, Brandon received a prize that only top physicists in the world could receive. Instead of taking credit for the achievement in his speech, he decided to honor Ms. Lane, saying:

“When I was in high school, there was one person who inspired me to become the physicist I am today. I was already lucky to be her student, but by a twist of fate, I was even luckier to have become her son.”

Ms. Lane was in the audience, crying her eyes out upon hearing Brandon speak about her. She was so proud of him and wanted nothing more than to see him succeed.

“Without Ms. Lane, without my mom, I would not be here in front of you today. This award is for her – for all the sacrifices she’s made for me, all the lessons she’s taught me, and all the love she’s given me. Thank you, mom.”

As soon as Brandon ended his speech, Ms. Lane received a standing ovation from the audience. They applauded her for her big heart, and Brandon walked her to the stage to be recognized.

What can we learn from this story?

Never forget those who raised you. Brandon looked up to Ms. Lane as his teacher, but he never imagined she would become his mother. When he became successful, he recognized Ms. Lane and all her contributions to his life.
Your circumstances don’t need to define your future. Brandon’s hopes of becoming a physicist slowly disappeared when his mother died, and he ran away from home. Thanks to Ms. Lane, he didn’t throw away his future because she guided him in the right direction and raised him as her child.

Two Sisters Carried Twins For The Same Man, Ended Up Giving Birth On The Same Day

0

 

 

Being a mother is the best feeling in the world. But what if you really want a child and have been waiting for it for so long. Recently two sisters gave birth to twins for the same man on the same day and went viral for their story. Anne and Chrissy are two sisters who live in Ohio, USA. Anne wanted to have a child for a very long time but she and her husband did not have the luck to have a child for five years.
Annie Johnston, 33, and her husband Joby, of Lewis Centre decided last February to take a break from the sᴜʀɢᴇʀɪᴇs, ɪɴ-ᴠɪᴛʀᴏ ғᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ and ᴀʀᴛɪғɪᴄɪᴀʟ ɪɴsᴇᴍɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ they’d gone through for five years to try to have a baby. Chrissy was by her sister’s side when all the treatments failed. She stayed with Annie throughout the worst period of her life, wiping her tears for her and providing emotional support.
“In 2008 we tried, in 2009 also; in 2010 was the in-vitro, and on paper, everything looked great, but we got the phone call with the ʙᴀᴅ news that I was not pregnant after that round, and that was the hardest call ever to receive​” Annie recalls.

 

 

Although Annie had trouble conceiving, her sister Chrissy had not. She had a family of her own – two sons and a perfect husband. Motherhood had come so naturally to her and she had given birth twice without any ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs. Chrissy knew she was the lucky one. She didn’t think anyone should have to go through ɪɴꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ – especially not her sister.
Chrissy convinced Annie to give it one more try. The doctor implanted two embryos, but Chrissy knew it would work this time. On Valentine’s Day, they retrieved ᴇɢɢs from Annie and ғᴇʀᴛɪʟɪsᴇᴅ them with her husband’s sᴘᴇʀᴍ. Dᴏᴄᴛᴏʀs ɪᴍᴘʟᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ two ᴇᴍʙʀʏᴏsin Knott, and since Annie’s was on the same cycle, they decided to implant two ᴇᴍʙʀʏᴏsin her too, just to give it one more try. By some miracle, the treatment was a success!


Not only that, but Chrissy was pregnant too! It was a dream come true for these sisters… and everything seemed like an incredible coincidence. But that wasn’t all. One month after that, at the seven-week ᴜʟᴛʀᴀsᴏᴜɴᴅ, the two sisters learned they were each carrying twins, classified technically as quadruplets. Coincidentally, the two sisters gave birth to all four children on the same day. The children respectively weighed Charles 6 pounds, Thomas 6 pounds, 2 ounces, Grace 5 pounds, 7 ounces , Hadley 5 pounds, 4 ounces – were all born healthy.


 

A Mum Against 10- Million-To-One Odds Welcome Identical Twin Girls

0

A mom from Colorado welcome with another set of ʀᴀʀᴇ identical twin girls against 10-million-to-one odds. Casey Saunders, 27, thought the ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ was ᴘᴜʟʟɪɴɢ her leg when she said the mother of twin boys was expecting yet another duo, the odds of which are one in 70,000.

 

 

 

A 27-year-old mother from Colorado, Casey Saunders, was ʙʟᴏᴡɴ ᴀᴡᴀʏ when an ᴜʟᴛʀᴀsᴏᴜɴᴅ revealed that she’s pregnant with another set of identical twins. ​Life, it turns out, is full of surprises. Anyone who knows Casey Saunders knows she is surrounded by twins. She’s got twin calves on the ranch where she lives and twins inside her home. Her 9-year-old twin boys are identical. ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀs say identical twins happen about once every 250 births. She has another set of twins, too. Her girls are 4 months old and are known as Mᴏɴᴏᴀᴍɴɪᴏᴛɪᴄ Mᴏɴᴏᴄʜᴏʀɪᴏɴɪᴄ or MoMo twins, which happen less than 1 percent of the time with a twin ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ. MoMo twins share a ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇɴᴛᴀ and an ᴀᴍɴɪᴏᴛɪᴄ sᴀᴄ, making this ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ ʜɪɢʜ-ʀɪsᴋ. The twin ғᴇᴛᴜsᴇs ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛ to the ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇɴᴛᴀ via their ᴜᴍʙɪʟɪᴄᴀʟ ᴄᴏʀᴅs. Resting together in the same sᴀᴄ ᴘᴜᴛs them at ʀɪsᴋ for ᴄᴏʀᴅ ᴇɴᴛᴀɴɢʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ or ᴄᴏʀᴅ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʀᴇssɪᴏɴ.

 

After spending the final two months of her ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ in the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ while ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀs monitored the twins, Casey and her partner Eugene Goree welcomed baby girls Maya and Laia on December 1. Four months later Casey has shared her unlikely story. Casey, an optometric technician, had her boys Hayden and Cameron when she was 17 years old, and nine years later she learned she and her partner Eugene were pregnant again. When she went in for her first ᴜʟᴛʀᴀsᴏᴜɴᴅ she had the excited boys in tow. She said :” On the way to the ᴜʟᴛʀᴀsᴏᴜɴᴅ they were arguing over who was going to get to hold ‘the baby’ first. I thought the sᴏɴᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜᴇʀ was trying to tease me when she said there were two ʜᴇᴀʀᴛʙᴇᴀᴛs because she knew I had my twin boys with me.The technician saw the monitor and told I ‘You should go buy a Powerball ticket when you’re done here.’ I was sʜᴏᴄᴋᴇᴅ. I called Eugene and said ‘ You’re not going to believe this’. He was surprised but really excited from the beginning.”

 

Because her ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ was a ʜɪɢʜ ʀɪsᴋ one, Casey was ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟɪᴢᴇᴅ during the last two months of her ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ so ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀs could monitor the babies for any ᴘᴏᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴀʟ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs. She said:” It was ɴᴇʀᴠᴇ-ᴡʀᴀᴄᴋɪɴɢ at each ᴜʟᴛʀᴀsᴏᴜɴᴅ not knowing if we had ʟᴏsᴛ them to ᴄᴏʀᴅ entanglement. But each week they were still there growing.” While in the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ she spent her time knitting and writing in a journal intended for her baby girls. She spoke with her sons via FaceTime because they were only able to visit on the weekends. Casey spent 60 days in the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ. The girls were delivered at 32 weeks and were able to go home 4 weeks later. The boys have been remarkably gentle with their sisters and are eager to help, except with diaper duty. Casey and Eugene are just happy to have everyone home together. Twins are more work in many ways, but Casey knows that well.

Now, the now-four-month-olds have settled into their home with the help of their older brothers. Casey said:” They are doing excellent. Exceeding all expectations. And the boys absolutely adore them. They still won’t change diapers but they love to hold them and feed them. It’s heartwarming to see.” While raising two babies at once is a challenge, it’s nothing new for Casey. She said: “You fall into a routine after a while and it comes back to you after you’ve done it once.”

Her ‘Rundown’ Of First Day Of Preschool Has The Internet In Laughter

There is a lot of excitement that comes along with attending preschool for the first time. There is a world of new faces to see. With the new faces come worries of whether you will be liked by all of the other kids. If they do like you, will you like them. According to Mila, the first day of preschool was nothing short of a nightmare. When getting home from school that day, she told her mom all about her horrific time at school and her mom got the entire story on camera.

The twin sisters Emma and Mila Stauffer are the daughters of Katie Stauffer, a photographer and public figure well-known on social media. The girls are from Arizona and they enjoy expressing their opinion about whatever is going on in their lives and other social topics. Their mom often records their funny and highly entertaining conversations that range from talking about Justin Bieber to excitement about Disneyland.

On one particular day, Mama Stauffer announced that the two sisters would be starting preschool soon. The girls weren’t sure if they should be excited or weary for what was to come. The experience was surprisingly a big topic for discussion when the girls completed their first day of preschool. The response given by Mila was priceless.

 

 

 

Upon returning home from school, Mila couldn’t wait to tell her mom about how disastrous the day had been for her. According to Mila, she was in a classroom with a shady teach and kids that were insane.

The children were throwing staplers and pooping all over the classroom. Mila went on to explain that through all of those crazy things were happening, she was still alive.

After a fellow classmate was told not to pee on his friends, the young boy proceeded to chase the teacher with scissors in response.

With all of the chaos going on in the classroom, Mila felt that it was necessary for her to do something about it. To gain everyone’s attention, she yelled naptime.

Dance helps your baby develop a strong sense of rhythm, form, time, and flow…

0

 

“According to one study, 6-month-olds ‘danced’ to baby talk, also known as baby talk. Infants prefer this type of speech at this age due to exaggerated pitch changes and sound lengthening. This does not necessarily imply that they consider baby talk to be music, but it has a musical quality, so it stands to reason that they would dance to it. “Older babies dance to music more than to speech,” Neuhaus says.

 

 

 

So it appears that babies “boop” and move to music for biological reasons. However, Ganjian claims that parents also influence their children to dance to music. “A real dance is usually taught by parents who move their bodies, heads, and arms when the music starts.” Children frequently observe their parents clapping and attempt to clap or move to the music.”

 

Posner says that playing music for your child can help with language development and can potentially be soothing, in addition to being very sweet to see your child dancing to music. And the calming factor is determined by what you play for them. While Ganjian believes that softer music is better for babies than rough music, and that music without words or with slow words is preferable, Artzt believes that any music can be beneficial.

She Went For The 4th Child And Finally Gave Birth To Quadruplets

A Texas couple expecting to have their fourth and final child this summer instead welcomed four new babies into their family. Even though the Haglers had only planned to have one more baby, they agree that the quadruplets have transformed their lives for the better. Gaby Hagler, 39, and Patrick Hagler, 50, found out at their 12-week ultrasound that they were expecting not one but four babies. The couple said they were in ‘complete shock’ at the news but after previously experiencing a ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ, they were excited to meet their rainbow babies.

The pair married in 2018 and have children Paxton, 12, and Kalleigh, 13. A short time later, the couple welcomed their first child together, Sammy, who is almost 3 years old. Gaby and Patrick decided to try for another child but experienced a ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ. Despite the setback, they decided to try another time. Patrick said:” We decided we’ll do one more. We’ll be complete with one more, with a fourth. We were completely shocked, when found out Gaby were expecting quadruplets when she went for a 12-week ultrasound.”

The couple’s four babies — Adam, Bennett, Coby and Dane — were born on June 22 at 34 weeks. Because the quadruplets were born ᴘʀᴇᴍᴀᴛᴜʀᴇʟʏ, the quadruplets were in two separate  ⓃⒾⒸⓊ  for a couple of days and then the brothers all joined up in the intermediate-level ⓃⒾⒸⓊ and then started being released to go home fairly quickly. So no ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs with the babies. The quadruplets have transformed their lives for the better. Patrick said: “It’s been certainly life-changing and a little bit scary, because we had financially planned for one more and that even took some planning and thinking about how we were going to do things. It completely blew up the whole financial plan but it’s manageable. It’s just a little bit daunting at first.”

 

 

 

He added:” I think that the babies have been a real anchor for our family because we’re a blended family. Paxton is my son from another relationship. Kalleigh is Gaby’s daughter from another relationship. Sammy is ours together and so the babies have really brought everyone together and in just a really cohesive way. And having the older kids being able to participate in the way that they have has really strengthened the dynamic of the family.”

Twins have precious reaction when daddy gets home

0

How often have you been at work missing your babies? It happens all the time, especially the first couple times you had to go back to work after having them.

Well your babies were missing you too!

Maritza Van Cott shows us how much her twin baby girls, Anabel and Lydia, were missing their dad while he was out. They certainly don’t seem bothered by his absence, but they’re just seven months old in the video. They’re still exploring the world around them, just taking it all in and putting things together slowly.

Weirdly enough, I don’t think they even knew they were missing him.

And then they begin to hear a sound at the door..

Look at those cute, curious faces!

Babies have a really interesting and unique perspective on the world for the first stages of their life. They are still developing, and although they can hear and see and smell, they don’t have the frame of reference for understanding what the things they’re seeing are exactly!

Just look at their reaction once dad walks in the door!

I love it. Their expressions go beyond just being adorable, they’re also hilarious. The babies are looking at their dad with wildly different expressions at first.

One is looking at him like he’s walking in the door with a bag of candy while the other is thinking that he might actually be an awe-inspiring angel.

Once they realise who it is walking in the door, they’re all smiles.

 

Imagine walking into that scene of smiling, laughing, dancing babies.

Even better, they’re so excited because it’s YOU walking in the door! Absolutely heart melting. And it’s really nice to see that…

Their dad is equally excited to see them!

Look at the smile BEAMING off of that guy!

It’s so heart warming to see love like that positively radiate off of a family, and today they’re still all smiles!

Music runs in the family!
