Sophie Baby Pics And Continued Conversations

Can't beat that smell. Enjoy every second of her. Little cutie!

Awwww she's so cute! So is the baby btw.

XD

She's amazing, I want to smell the back of her neck! Memories.....

  

 
How have I forgotten Baby Aroma? I adore that smell. And making them do their grip reflex, hands and feet.

 

[Fintastic!]

Oh those little feet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sophie, don't ask if you don't really want to know

 

ABSTRACT: Spectroscopic analysis of nitrifying bacteria revealed the presence of a porphyrin-like pigment with an absorption maximum at 408 nm. The photoresponsive pigment accumulated during the late exponential phase of growth. The photoreceptor was found at higher concentrations in NH4+ oxidizers than in NO2- oxldizers. When absorbance scans and action spectra of the nitrifiers were compared, it was found that the regression between the degree of photoinhibition and higher absorbances at 408 nm was significant (r2 = 0.7). Reversible light-induced absorbance changes were observed in vivo and in vitro. Absorbance changes were maximally elicited by light in the 400 nm region for both types of nitrifiers, but the change was only significant (p < 0.05) for NH,' oxldizers. This spectral sensitivity of the NH,' oxidizing process suggests that the absorbance change observed is related to the blue light sensitivity of NH,+ oxidizers.
 
Introduction
The damaging effects of light on microbes may impose constraints on some of their activities. For instance, the process of nitrification (NH,' and NO2- oxidation) in nitrogen turnover has been repeatedly shown as Light sensitive (Schon & Engel 1962, Smith 1977, Olson 1981, Yoshioka & Saijo 1984, Diab & Shilo 1988, Vanzella et al. 1989).

Thank you.
And yes I really do want to know, I find it really interesting. Especially as all I do at the moment is sit and look after my newborn, so it's good to read something to hold my attention - I can't talk to her and get a response as of yet..

Talk to her though... Talk and talk and talk...
 
When reading stuff like that, read it to her.  Read it in a 'happy' voice and she'll be excited about it.  Just talk and read.  And don't do the 'baby talk' thing.  They will learn their language based on how you talk to them.  They will emulate you.  So, don't refer to things like "blankies"  Call it a Blanket.  If they call it a "blankie", its because they can't say the proper word.  You should accept their speech, but not repeat it back to them.  Baby talk is cute when they are babies.  When they are older its no longer cute.  Personally, I think hearing a little kid speak like an adult to be cuter.

My nephew talks like he is an adult and he is only 3 years old.  You are right though eagles he copys so many words that people say (including the bad ones) and even learns how to use them in a sentence just by listening to how we use the word and then he does the rest himself.  it is quite amazing how fast they are able to learn.  Only if we could learn like that when we got older

I couldn't agree with you more.
When I was pregnant I remember clearly stating to my other half it's "dog" not "doggie" - "horse" not "horsey" haha.
The only word I say differently is "doe doe" which is her dummy, only because I personally find the word dummy repulsive - she'll have it taken away from her at 3 months though so hopefully no detrimental attachment is made by then.
 
That's also why I said "I can't talk to her and get a response as of yet.." I didn't say I didn't speak to her  
My other half and I know the importance of talking to them, reading to them especially.
I remember reading about how parents do not read to their children anymore, no bed time stories. It's sad.
 
Chris used to read to my bump..

Amazing, they're like sponges. She's now 4 weeks and already is trying to copy my facial expressions. You can just tell when she's staring at you with those massive eyes that she's just.. absorbing everything.
She'll be my little prodigy yet!

Keeping on the off topic, my daughter couldnt say grandad or grandpa and gave my dad the name Granpopo. Both my kids still call him this, as does my mum!

On topic, its not surprising to learn of the impact of growth at certain light levels. At 400nm you enter the ultraviolet range which we all know to be a bacteria killer.
