It is beyond fascinating that "the baby dance" leads to an actual human. I mean, these microscopic things that exist in our bodies know exactly what to do to connect and *make a human.* That's seriously mind blowing when you think about it. Even crazier is when you think about how that new formation goes through such a specific development pattern (it's like magic) that when checking very early ultrasounds, technicians and doctors can determine nearly to the day when …show more content…
It's beyond incredible that once the baby is created, science/nature just knows what to do to finish creating a human (generally speaking, that is, obviously there are exceptions when things don't happen as planned or expected).
The same kind of thing happens when the baby is born. There are milestones for when babies do certain things, and on the whole, babies really follow that path! It's such a well-developed and predictable pattern, that we often have trouble accepting that "every baby is different" and can reach those milestones at different times (which can cause undue stress and make it challenging to accept if you compare your baby's milestones to those of other babies).
While all of that developmental magic is happening, babies are also busy learning about everything they encounter and their personalities are forming. Babies go from these tiny new people who are dependent on you for absolutely everything and who have no way to communicate other than crying, to being walking, talking people with their own opinions. It's the weirdest thing ever because it seems like they become tiny adults overnight. They go to bed one night and they're babies, and then the next day, they're perfect little
