Let's Get Loud
April 8, 2009 WARNING: The following pictures may trigger your progesterone to spike and convince you that you need to bear a child. Proceed with caution and at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any babies produced because of this post.
Sure, she looks sweet and innocent. And most of the time she is. But I will tell you a little something that looking at pictures on the internet won't tell you about Miss Peaches... The girl's got some lungs on her.
The moment she was born, I was thrilled to hear her cry... A mother always wants to hear a good strong cry come out of her thriving newborn child. It sets us a bit at ease to know that their lungs are clear and functioning correctly. So, yes, her first cries were welcome, beautiful sounds.
But when they placed her in my arms, only slightly less shocking than the fact that she had red hair, was the sheer volume and pitch of the cries she was able to produce. Miss Peaches can reach decibles that can set you back in your chair just a bit if you're not prepared for it.
Getting weighed? Screaming. Getting measured? Screaming. Getting BATHED for the first time? Ear-piercing screaming.
Yes, from the sound of her, I knew she was a loud strong little girl.
Thankfully she was never a colicky or otherwise uncomfortable newborn, or I think our entire family might have eventually neared borderline deafness. She was snuggly and consolable, and as you can tell from this next picture, quite quickly grew out of her newborn shrivled up wrinkles...
Now days she's mostly perky, jovial and completely full of herself...
But don't let that sly little grin fool you. When she wants to let loose, her little voice can shake the rafters.
We're hoping that she'll find it useful someday by becoming a singer or a motocross announcer.

What a cutie pie!
No way does that sweet little angel have a loud cry, nope, too cute and angelic for that! All I can say is "thank goodness I'm 51 and won't have to worry about producing something so cute!
LOL! That sounds just like my little guy! He screamed about everything! I was always afraid I was hurting him.
What great pictures of your little peaches! :) The loudness doesn't stop as they get old. For some reason, preschool kids don't have volume control. It's one range- LOUD! It's kind of funny. I think they eventually outgrow it!
Enjoy your Sunday!
