Mama says "no" but what does it really mean?

This little guy clearly understands the word NO, but Mama wants two things.  She wants him not to put the doorstop in his mouth and she wants him to hand it to her, which he can't quite do.  He gets confused and scared . I think that Mom stopped the camera and took the time to show him what she really wanted. Next time she will move to solve the problem before he gets scared.

Holding baby for the first time

     Getting to hold your baby for the first time is often an emotional experience.  This guy shows us his feelings.  Other parents may feel scared because they wonder if they know how to take care of a baby.  Other parents may not feel much of anything at first.  Usually after some time to get the hang of basic baby care and getting to know who the baby is , parents start to feel that deep connection that this daddy shows.

Is Daddy home?

Even though he can barely sit up by himself, this little guy shows he has lots of feelings about Daddy coming home.  Just as he starts to get excited, he seems to get worried, as if he didn't really hear Daddy. Once he can see Daddy, he starts feeling just fine! Babies learn early who are the important people in their lives!

Under the gate. What is a parent to do?

This family thought they made the house safer by using a baby gate.  The baby seems to be a smart one who doesn't like limits. By the tone in her voice, Mom seems prepared to deal with the fact that now she must be hyper-alert to where the baby is.  Might be best to take the gate down before he gets bigger and starts to get stuck? Or are there other ways to solve the problem?

Toddler water play

Playing in the water makes summer fun for toddlers.  This little guy is at the age where he could spend the whole time happily playing in this one fountain, then have a big tantrum when it is time to go because he didn't get to do  the other stuff.
