When it comes to new siblings the gulf between expectations and reality can be pretty stark. The reality is that newborns are often significantly less “fun” than billed to their toddler and preschool-aged siblings. Instead of an instant playmate and best friend, newborns require a great deal of parental... care, energy, and attention. They mostly eat and sleep, which can be a bit of a letdown. I just love this new big brother, shared to IG by _jennapierce. He’s so enthusiastic… and ready for his newborn sibling to wake up and interact - even trying out the whole “got your nose” prank to get his attention (without avail). Rest assured, that time will come, little buddy! Parents can help to ease the transition by teaching siblings about newborn care and establishing realistic expectations from the get go. (“He’ll be so much fun to play with when he gets a little older, but at first he’s going to be very tiny and sleepy. We’ll need to be very gentle and you can help teach him how to talk! He won’t be ready to talk back at first, but he’s going to be listening very carefully.”) What a sweet moment to capture on video. These two are going to be best of friends.show more

How could this darling big sister not touch your heart? For all the effort parents go through to hype up the arrival of a new sibling, newborns can be a little underwhelming at first. They can’t talk, or play, or even crawl at birth. But rest assured, those fun parts are coming… and this adorable little one is ready to teach baby everything she knows. You can help level-set with siblings as you prepare for your new baby’s arrival - stressing that, even when it might not feel like it, they will be important teachers from Day 1. This begins with gentle caretaking, face to face conversation, and lots of patience and understanding. This wonderful little teacher was posted to TT by brittleshea.

Why is my baby screaming? The answer may just be: Because they can. As newborns, babies rely heavily on a limited vocal repertoire of cries, coos, and gurgles. But as they begin approaching six months, they begin to experiment with a whole new array of sounds. We call this vocal play. Put simply, it’s a process through which infants experiment with their voices (and mouths) and begin learning to mimic many of the component sounds that will later make up their formal speech. This includes most any sound that can be made with the mouth, from screams, to growls, to blowing raspberries. Check out this little guy as he delights in his newly discovered screech. He’s not in distress, as his broad smile lets us know. Instead he’s just trying out the cool new trick he can do with his mouth. Of course screams can relay pain and fear as well, but rest assured that not EVERY scream is a “scream.” Some are just fun experiments. This playful little guy was shared to TT by steviemoriah.

Being a toddler can be such a frustrating thing. As expert observers, toddlers are keenly aware of the examples being set around them - and deeply motivated to be just like YOU. The good news is that, thanks to their rapidly transforming motor, cognitive, and language skills, much of this emulation becomes possible (at least in early forms). But with these skills also still very much in development, toddlers’ desires and expectations can sometimes come into conflict with their actual/current abilities. And that can be hard. So much of what we consider the “terrible twos” is rooted in this frustration. Which is why I love this video. This backyard zip line isn’t within little Lyra’s skill set. But you can totally see where she might feel left out as her siblings ride time and again. Enter grandma and grandpa, who - together, slowly, safely, and appropriately - enable her to experience just the thing she wants most: To be one of the big kids. And her delight is just palpable. That face. Her delighted squeals. The. Best. This lovely example of toddlerhood done right was shared to IG by the_walters_family.

Infant sleep can be such a tricky thing. Just as soon as you get reaccustomed to resting through the night, all of a sudden your baby reverts to waking multiple times a night. Welcome to the 8 month sleep regression. Interruptions in sleep patterns often coincide with the development of new skills and somewhere around 8 months you’re due for the biggest of them all. That’s because your baby is becoming mobile - and putting all the skills together to roll, crawl, and even pull to a stand in their crib. For infants this is a HUGE breakthrough. Imagine having spent your entire life mostly stationary, with your ability to pursue your own interests - or even adjust your view - subject to the whims of a caregiver. Somewhere between 6-9 months most babies begin discovering a host of new abilities. And let’s face it, some of them are a lot more entertaining than sleep. The good news (at 3am) is that the novelty here is temporary…but there are some important ways you can help your baby to navigate this period safely. Perhaps the most important one is illustrated in this video. And that’s adjusting the height of your child’s crib mattress to its lowest level. With newborns and immobile infants, it’s often convenient to elevate their mattress so they can be placed into and retrieved from the crib more easily. But when your baby begins pulling to a stand it’s critical that you lower their mattress to prevent accidental falls. Babies are top heavy and can easily go tumbling out without such adjustments. You may also find that your baby masters pulling to a stand faster than they master sitting back down - which can create a crib dilemma and a need for assistance. You can navigate through this phase more quickly by providing lots of wakeful practice in both standing and sitting, which may involve gently guiding your little one to bend their legs at the knee - or even placing an appealing toy on the ground near their feet to incentivize sitting back down. As for the sleep regression, it’ll be over before you know it. And while it can be frustrating in the middle of the night, think of it as a breakthrough. Your baby is reaching new developmental milestones - and about to go fully mobile. This sweet little guy was shared to IG by fesgheliha_.

Have a new baby - or love someone who does? You’ll want to keep a special eye on this space, because this week I’m going to talk about infancy’s most critical outcome and how to achieve it. That outcome: Secure attachment. The earliest months of life are a busy time developmentally. Over a period of just weeks, newborns establish important feeding habits, begin to smile and recognize faces, begin developing early forms of receptive and spoken language…the list goes on and on. Each of these developments is hugely consequential. But none holds a candle to attachment. What is it - and why is it important? Attachment involves the establishment of deep relational trust between parent and child. It’s more than just feeding. Or talking. Or playing. Securely attached babies develop a deep and abiding trust that you are (and will continue to be) available and responsive as a caregiver. That you can be relied on to meet their needs and ensure their safety. And that trust makes a world of difference for children. Secure attachment is the bedrock of our long-term mental health… a gift you can give your baby with lifelong benefits. How is it formed? Not surprisingly, through consistency. Be warm. Be responsive. And be there. Over. And over. And over. It’s a big job. (But rest assured it doesn’t require perfection. Parenting is hard enough without that pressure.) This week I’ll unpack four different types of attachment, how you can improve the quality of your own attachment, and how the development of secure relationships with a small circle of key caregivers (parents, grandparents, teachers) can set your child on a path that will support them even as adults. This trusting little one was shared to IG by bebegimlemutluyum.

So. I have just a free minute. I want to thank each and every one of you for all assistance over the past couple of days, and also for 50k followers! We continue to be in Asheville, NC doing what we can do for town. We already have a huge dinner planned tomorrow for a local shelter, and for our first responders, none of this would be possible without your help, between donating, liking, retweeting, it all helps. So thank everyone so so so much, trust me, it does not go unnoticed! We are going to be here as long as we can to try and help the good folks of North Carolina. They're going to have a very long road to recovery.

Milton Williams on A.J. Brown: “He’s a very quiet guy, doesn’t say too much. But when the lights come on, you are going to hear him and you are going to see him make a lot of big plays. He’s ready to show everybody that he’s still that same guy.”

Yaxel Lendeborg says acting was his intended college major and he’s hoping to find acting gigs in San Francisco: “I acted in a play in high school. The play was Elf. I was gonna go to college for acting, for theater and stuff like that. So when I actually got to college, that was my major. Kind of switched plans a little bit because of the basketball thing, but I would love to be an actor. Be in a musical if I need to. When I’m in San Francisco, hopefully I can find some little gig to get on, and hopefully somebody can put me in a movie.”

Matt Ponatoski will soon have to decide whether he’s heading to the MLB or will suit up for Kentucky football AND baseball. 🏈⚾ “I’m going to be fully prepared to go to school and go be at Kentucky and enroll and go compete for a quarterback battle when I get there. But at the same time, like going and putting my best foot forward to these MLB teams and showing them like I have what it takes for you to draft me.” Ponatoski on where he is at in the decision-making. “It’s one A and one B,” Ponatoski said. “I’m going to go have a great career at Kentucky, or I’m going to go be a professional baseball player. It’s like you can’t draw it up much better.” The MLB Draft will be taking place July 11-13 in Philadelphia and Ponatoski will soon have to make a decision in a few months. 😼 #BBN

5. My standout of camp so far is Andrei Iosivas. No surprise to Hilton, who worked out with him in the offseason. “He’s going to be a big asset to our offense – especially in the slot,” Mike said. “He’s a bigger guy and can obviously run. He’s going to be a big target for us.”

🚨This is going to be a very upsetting post. Swipe at your own risk. 💔 Yesterday we were contacted about a paralyzed cat in the Bronx. We got him to our vet last night. Unfortunately we can not afford his care and we are not sure how we are going to get him what he needs.

What does it feel like to realize that, in your little boy’s eyes, you are one of the most important people in the entire world? There's something special about having a young son who looks up to you as a dad. At that age, Dad can seem almost larger than life. He is the guy who can fix things, reach the high shelf, carry the heavy stuff, answer the impossible questions, and somehow make an ordinary afternoon feel like an adventure. And half the time, he probably has no idea just how closely his son is watching him. A little boy does not need his dad to be perfect. He just wants to be around him. He wants to follow him around the house, help with whatever he is doing, wear his old hat, imitate the way he talks, and eventually say, “Dad, can I come with you?” The little moments can seem insignificant when they happen, are sometimes the moments that fathers remember years later. There is also something humbling about knowing that your son is learning what it means to be a man partly by watching you. How you treat your wife, how you handle frustration, how you keep your word, how you treat strangers, how you respond when things go wrong. He may not understand all of it yet, but he is taking it in. And maybe that is one of the greatest joys of being a father. You get to watch a little boy who thinks you can do anything slowly grow into a young man who understands that you are human after all, while still carrying some of the lessons and memories you gave him along the way. One day, he may not need you to carry him anymore, but he will always remember the years when being carried by Dad made him feel like everything was going to be alright. So if your little boy looks up to you today, have you ever thought about just how much that simple admiration might mean to him?

Your baby’s favorite toy might just be a baby of their own. Here’s why: As your little one begins to engage in imaginary play, they don’t begin in far off lands… and don’t role play as princesses, firefighters, or astronauts. All that will come later. Where they start is with what they know and who they love. So don’t be surprised when they begin role playing as YOU. It can be a humbling mirror, for sure. But I’d say this little guy’s parents have a lot to be proud of. Watch carefully as our hero shows off all his best parenting tricks, gently patting and cuddling his baby doll, speaking face-to-face, and even supporting its neck. What you’re seeing here is a reflection of his day-to-day reality and the tender caretaking of his own most important role models. Isn’t that beautiful? This attentive little “father” was shared to IG by mandvandheyd.

If ever there was a “look of love” this has got to be it. 😍 I mean… book? What book? This little one ONLY has eyes for his mama. Eye contact is an important early developmental milestone and plays a number of roles for your baby. First and foremost, eye contact is critical to attachment and bonding. The stronger your emotional connection, the greater your baby’s sense of security - which contributes to optimal brain development. (Note, btw, that his little one appears to be in the hospital, making this emotionally secure - and almost enraptured - interaction all the more impressive, given what might otherwise be a stressful environment.) But there’s more than just safe and secure bonding happening here. There’s also serious learning. As your baby studies your face, they’re making connections between expressions and feelings - and, importantly, learning to speak. This little one may not be quite ready to replicate mom’s vocalizations quite yet, but he’s watching intently to see how his mother’s mouth moves and contorts to make all the wonderful sounds he’s taking in. With that gaze, he’s learning how to become just like mom. This beautiful video was shared to IG by mother_withchild.

I’ll be right there… I’m new at this! One of the most amazing things about being a parent is that there are new and special moments at every stage of development (right into adolescence and adulthood). But what a special time it is when babies emerge into toddlerhood - developing motor and language skills all at once. This little one, shared to IG by jamesandersonw10, is hitting these developmental milestones right and left, taking some of her first tentative steps while using language (which sounds very much like “coming!” - but could well be an effort to mimic dad’s “come on”), to cheer herself on. Talk about putting it all together! 🧩

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I’m going to do an activity in my daughter’s class (she’s 5), and I’ll be teaching them what AI is. She’s excited about it, but honestly, I think I’m even more excited. I’ll tell them a little bit of history, we’ll play some games… I’ll try to make it as fun as possible, but always with a focus on ethical and responsible use. Of course, it won’t be a tutorial on how to use any tools, lol. They’re still very young, and in my opinion, it’ll be years before they actually need to start using these tools. But I think it’s important for them to start getting some awareness so they can be prepared for the future that’s coming their way.
