It is a widely understood fact that babies are adorable. They wear adorable and funny looking clothing. At what other stage in life can a person wear a t-shirt that says "Daddy's Princess" without getting funny looks? Being a baby certainly does not look all that difficult. The majority of the population seems to think that babies are fully formed adults except for their inability to speak in complete sentences. Babies are actually quite different from adults have their own sets of needs and wants. Here are a few things that you might not already know about babies.

The heart is usually already pumping by the time a woman finds out that she is pregnant. A beating heart is usually completed (at least rudimentarily) by twenty one days of life. Most women take until this time to realize that they missed a period and are growing a baby. If there was ever a marvel about babies it would be that it only takes three weeks for biology to take a couple of individual cells, join them together and form rudimentary organs that start to fully function. When you think about how complicated and strong an adult heart is, it is easy to be amazed that its basic structure is built in such a short period of time.

The vocal range of babies is very impressive; even if it does take them a while to use those vocal cords to make words that adults can understand. These sounds are possible because the baby's voice box isn't finished forming until the baby is older. It is due to this that a baby can make more sounds than an adult can make. Listen carefully because before you know it your baby will have started to use his sounds for different items. This is why a mother can usually tell if her baby's cries mean that he is hungry or tired or that he needs a diaper change. Another interesting fact is that most babies' first words are simple words that involve the consonants and vowels that are made with the front of the mouth. It is because of this that a baby's first word is usually "dada" and not "mama": dada is easier to imitate and is almost always a surprise to both the parent and the baby!

Were you aware that babies grow tails as they develop in the womb? It's a fact! In addition to immediately beginning to build major organs, your baby will also start to form a tail during the first few weeks after conception.

As your baby grows inside of you the rest of his body develops and the tail usually ends up disappearing-it sort of blends in to the rest of the body as it grows. The whole process is similar to the way tadpoles grow up to be tail-less frogs. Some people, however, have tails that do not completely disappear and they are born with them still somewhat intact. Surgical removal and waiting for it to be grown into are the two options that are available to parents whose babies are born with intact tails. The only risks associated with having the tail removed are those that are present with any surgery but, for the most part, your baby should be fine because the tail does not impact your child's overall health. Babies are fascinating creatures. There is no real proof that states just how babies learn the things they do or how long it takes them to learn those things. Babies are constantly growing and changing and watching them mature and develop is something everyone should experience.
