Cambria's Cries

K, my friends. I am going to let you in on the most adorable aspect of a newborn... Their cry!!! For the first couple of weeks, the baby's cry is an amazing sound. It makes you want to rip the world to shreds and put it back together in such a way that your baby will always be in the center as it revolves around her. You could tear down a mountain if it means making your beautiful baby happy. All this time, you smile at that sweet voice that makes you so happy, there are no words to explain it to anyone else.


The most adorable thing about Cambria's cry


This Video was taken when Cambria was two weeks old:

At this time, Cambria's cry was so adorable! When she was upset she had a "ngWaaaa!!" cry. The 'ng' part is like the throat sound that you say in the word sing or hanger. Then, you knew when she was really ticked because she made the most adorable pigeon cry. In the video I waited a while for her to do it, but she never did. As she got a little older, it became clear that the pigeon noise was the beginnings of Cambria losing her voice. Just another thing she gets from daddy! When she screams for more than a minute, she starts to lose her voice. Unfortunately as she grew a little older, the pigeon cry went away. I really wish had tried harder to get it on camera. Darn! 

 When she is especially angry and screams for more than 2 minutes, she chokes herself. I HATE when she does this. It generally only happens when we are driving to and from Nonnie's house and she wants out of her car seat. It does occasionally happen at home. This video was taken when Cambria was one month old. You can witness the very ticked Cambria! She does get to the point of choking herself but I stop recording immediately and sooth her so it is cut off! Please don't judge me. The cries were just so cute!



Now the crying is cute for the first like 3 minutes, 5 tops. If I can't calm her down after that point I really struggle. It does hurt your heart to hear a baby crying the last 15 minutes of your driving trip with no way to make her happy. I have tried singing the ABC's and I am a Child of God at the top of my lungs many times. If she starts choking herself and will not calm down, I have been known to get off the freeway mid-trip and feed her to make her happy. I try telling her over and over again "we're almost there! You're doing so great! We are 5 minutes away!" Of course all of these things mean absolutely nothing to baby! All she knows is she's still in the stupid car seat and she really doesn't want to be.

Cambria, Mommy and Daddy think you are the most wonderful thing in our lives! We try everyday to make you smile and giggle! It brings us more happiness than you know to watch you grow! We love you, special girl!
