Baby Shower Invitation Wording - How To Write Your Baby Shower Invitation Like A Pro
Do you want some creative baby shower invitation wording? Okay, the first thing you need to do is to sit down and think about who to be invited.
Have a conversation with the mom-to-be and decide the guest list. Or if your shower is a surprise one, phone up her close friends and relatives for the information about whose faces she would be happy to see.
Already have the answers? Great, finish your guest list, and we can start writing unique baby shower invites.
Baby shower theme sets the tone for the special event.
So, the easiest approach is to have the wording reflect your shower themes.
For example, here is an idea for Winnie The Pooh baby shower invitation wording: "Mama Pooh, Daddy Pooh and what... a new Baby Pooh is on the way in the Smith Den! Celebrate the entire Smith family for their new arrival!"
You can easily change it to fit any other cute themes that use words like "Bear", "Duck", "Snoopy", and “Frog" to replace the "Pooh".
The ideas are endless.If your theme is holiday or special occasion, there are so many free baby shower invitation verses on the internet.
Let's say you're making a Halloween baby shower invitation, type something like, "Soon the Frost will be on the Pumpkins! We have been waiting so long, and now we have a new little one coming to our Patch! Proud Parents: Tina & Fred. Our little Punkin' is expected on December 11, 2005."
If you don't have a theme, no worries - it can't be more appealing to use those infant essentials in your invitation wording, like "Bottles & bootties, diapers & pins, Bibs and More.
This is where the love begins!"And use a cursive writing for an elegant theme, or use a sillier, cutesy typing for a funny shower invite.
It's always good enough that simply tell people it's a shower for baby girl or baby boy. If you want to reflect the baby’s sex on the invitations, the basic rule is to use pink ink for the girl or blue for the boy for the printing.
If the soon-to-be-parents don’t want to find out the baby's gender before it is born, you can write the baby shower invitation verse like this, "A new baby is almost due, we don’t know if it’s pink or blue, Heather Shirley can hardly wait, please join us as we celebrate..."
How about the new mom is having twins? First, double congratulations to your friend!
As this double happiness deserve double baby gifts, type your baby shower invitation wording with a lot of "Two" and "Double", such as "Two by two...here they come! Stacy's having twins boys.
Double the diapers, double the pins, double the fun! We all two happy two have to you here!" Or even place two socks or shirts in each envelope - so everyone knows this is a twin baby shower. You can use the same techniques for baby triplets or even more babies!

How To Talk To Your Baby – And Understand What She’s Saying Back
It is incredible, but within a years time your baby will progress from random crying to talking. This is quite an achievement for your baby and in a very short period of time. In this chapter we will look at your baby’s development when it comes to language. You’ll also discover what you can expect to see every month but it’s important to remember that these stages of your baby’s development are broad and because every baby is different these are not meant as exact milestones.
One month. Your baby will be able to understand speech long before actually talking. From birth he will look at your face and listen to your voice. He may make a small range of noises that will start to mean something to you - these may be made when he experiences feelings of hunger or pain (such as crying and certain sounds while he is breathing). When your baby is eating, you may notice him making sucking type noises and sounds of contentment.The way that your baby cries is an important communication method while he is actually unable to talk. Crying lays the foundation for speech as your baby learns to control his vocal cords. Crying is also a baby’s way of indicating hunger, discontentment, or general discomfort. Through responding to this crying you let your baby know that she is important to you – and this can really be reassuring for a young infant.
Two months. As a child enters his second month he is far more aware of the world – things such as sounds, even that of your voice, will amuse and fascinate your child. Change the tone of your voice and this will keep him amused. Your baby will respond with a variety of cooing sounds, vowel-like sounds, and sometimes some consonant sounds such as a “k”. You will find that your baby has quite a collection of cooing sounds that she uses to communicate with you as well as discover how to use the sound of her own voice. During this time, try and talk with your baby – this will encourage her response and help in the development process. By looking into your baby’s eyes you are communicating an important thing to her – that you are listening.Three months. By now you will find that your baby is able to recognize your voice and may come to you or face you when your voice is heard. You may notice him laugh out aloud and may even scare himself by doing this (as he does not initially know that he is the one making the sounds). Your baby will be making sounds such as “ahhhh gooo”. He will squeal when he is happy and content, again often startling himself as he learns his own abilities. At this stage you should not only talk to your baby but also introduce other communication forms such as singing and story telling. The greater your effort in trying to talk with him, the better his response is likely to be.Four months. By now more and more communication should be taking place with your baby. You may notice a greater amount of smiling – while his babbling may have a noticeably singsong quality to it, often ranging into a high pitch that delights him as he learns to like the sound of his own voice. There will be lots of repetition to the sounds that your baby makes. It is important that you always respond to your baby’s “oohs” and “ahhs” and whatever other communication methods she is using - respond with your own voice tones. This is your chance to have a “chat time” with your baby and you should take advantage of these times – you are helping him to discover the art of conversation. There will also be certain times when your baby may also not be in the mood for talking. He will turn his head in the other direction and may put his arm over his face. He may be showing signs of anger or frustration by crying out, especially if something is taken away from him.Five months. As each month progresses you will find that your baby is becoming better at communicating. It’s possible that you will notice him imitate some sounds and gestures. By now he’ll most likely be able to let you know if he’s happy or sad. When attention is wanted your baby will babble until he is given the attention he feels he deserves. Interestingly, if you always respond to his communication efforts (whatever these may be) he’ll repeat them whenever he wants your attention this way. During this month it’s likely that your baby will be looking at your mouth moving while you talk. Talk to him from across the room and he’ll be able to find you with ease. He is learning to control his vocal sounds as he watches your response to his sounds.Six months. Your baby may now be using consonant-vowel combinations. It’s quite possible that he has discovered his mirror reflection and is probably having conversations with himself. Your baby’s language is becoming much more precise. Here are some ways that you can help your baby develop her language skills:
- Speak very slowly and clearly.
- Identify and point out items, objects and people as you talk about them.
- Use shorter sentences sentences.
- Using repetition when singing songs and nursery rhymes helps the learning process.
- Reading to your baby is a good idea and should be done as often as possible – ask your baby questions and point things out to make the process as interactive as possible.
- Let your baby respond in his own way when communicating with her.
Seven months. Your baby is now continuing to learn how to use his newfound language skills. He may be able to do things such as wave goodbye and may accompany his wave with babbling sounds. He can say “mama” or “dada”.Eight months. Your baby is playing games such as pat a cake and peek-a-boo. Even though he can’t speak the words that belong to these games, he can babble and talk to himself. It’s likely that your baby knows what the word “No” means by now as well.Nine to twelve months. It’s possible that by now your baby understands requests and commands such as “give it” or “don’t touch that”. Similarly, she may understand simple questions such as “where’s your rattle?” At this time you should be encouraging your baby to use gestures (and you should respond to them). For example if your baby indicates she wants to be picked up then say “you want to be picked up?” while picking her up. This helps the learning process. You should also talk about everything that you do, and use gestures (and short sentences) as you’re doing them. Here are some ways to help your baby with the learning process:
- Look at books and talk about the pictures in simple languages. Where possible try and use books that your baby is able to hold.
- Talk often to your baby using simple words to identify objects in his life. Name trees, numbers, colours, and animals as you take your baby for a walk. You should also use your baby’s name often – this way she will be able to recognise it.
- Talk back to your child when she talks with you.
- Introduce concepts to your baby, such as the “big” dog or the “little” mouse.
- Give your baby time to get his words out; don’t be tempted to complete sentences for him.
- Continue to read to your baby as much as possible. Reading should be part of your daily routine.
- From day one start to talk in a simple, short and uncomplicated way with your baby – even though she will not understand what you are saying this is laying the foundations for learning language.
Twelve months. After one year babies are generally able to say one or two words and are able to understand 25 words or more. For example if a person in the room asks, “where is daddy?” your baby will look for you. Your baby is also able to point at things (and ask for things in this way).

3 Gift Ideas For Twin Baby Boys
Looking for the perfect gift for twin baby boys? You should never run out of ideas. There are plenty of gifts you can find in baby shops and online stores that the twins (and their parents) will adore. But if you need some hints, here are some of our gift suggestions:
1. Diaper cakes
No, these aren't gifts you buy for twin baby boys with a sweet tooth. Diaper cakes are exactly that: a gift set made with diapers and arranged to look like a cake. These gifts are perfect for twin baby boys because they don't only contain a lot of much-needed diapers, many gift shops who make them even throw in some really great extras. Many of these cakes look so lovely when done that it's almost difficult to take them apart.Depending on the size you order, a diaper cake can have as many as 70 or a hundred diapers in one pack, which are probably enough to make a 3- to 4-tier diaper cake. There are enough diapers in these cakes to make changing twin baby boys easy, fun and convenient. Diaper cakes may also include baby booties, small stuffed toys, matching twin caps, pacifiers and coordinating blankets for the twins.
2. Twins baby gift basket
Want to give everything to twin baby boys in one go? Baby gift baskets for twins are the best choice because they have two of every in-demand gift. Twin baby gift baskets are ideal as shower gifts, first birthday gifts, Christmas gifts or any special occasion gift. You'll also like the fact that twin baby gift baskets are theme and color-coordinated, making your choice a lot easier. A baby bath kit, for example, will have a pair of matching washcloths, a bottle of shampoo, other bath products, two rubber ducks and some Q-tips. A twin baby bedtime kit, on the other hand, will include a pair of pillows, blankets, matching caps and mittens and probably a bedtime story book.
3. Reading time
Twin baby boys are always twice the fun, so why not give them some fun reading materials for their bedtime? Some titles you might want to take a look at: Twin to Twin and Early Reader Books' Twin Series.

WHAT IS PNEUMONIA ???
Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the lung.[1] Frequently, it is described as lung parenchyma/alveolar inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid. (The alveoli are microscopic air-filled sacs in the lungs responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere.) Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as idiopathic—that is, unknown—when infectious causes have been excluded.Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics.Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health.

TWIN, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twins are two offspring resulting from the same pregnancy, either of the same or opposite sex.
The general term for more than one offspring from the same pregnancy is multiples, for example triplets refers to cases of three offspring from the same pregnancy. A fetus alone in the womb is called a singleton.
Twins are usually, but not necessarily, born in close succession. Due to the limited size of the mother's womb, multiple pregnancies are much less likely to carry to full term than singleton births, with twin pregnancies lasting only 37 weeks on average, 3 weeks less than full term.

Since premature births can have health consequences for the babies, twin births are often handled with special precautions.
Twins can either be monozygotic (MZ, colloquially, "identical") or dizygotic (DZ, colloquially, "fraternal"). There are estimated to be approximately 125 million human twins and triplets in the world (roughly 1.9% of the world population), and just 10 million monozygotic twins (roughly 0.2% of the world population and 8% of all twins). The current rate in the United States is 31 twin births per 1,000 women.
