Ever been curious why your newborn baby already sounds like mom or dad?  One big reason is that scientists believes the baby learns, or picks up his/her mother’s accent from inside the womb. IMG: Elizabeth Ferree This would mean if dad were around with an equally strong accent he/she could be picking up two different accents before they utter their first breath. According to Rueters: Kathleen Wermke of the University of Wuerzburg in Germany, who conducted the study with French and American colleagues, said it showed newborns “are capable of producing different cry melodies” and that they prefer melodies in the pattern of the language they heard in the womb. Wermke’s team recorded the cries of 60 healthy newborns, 30... [Read more]

The Florida Missing baby has been found in a bit of a bizarre scene.  As I last wrote the babysitter had admitted to writing a letter and demanding basically the state do something, when they state didn’t she did. IMG: Sxc.hu Apparently She carved or bought a cedar chest just big enough for Shannon to fit in and slid right under the bed. No one would’ve been wiser to a baby being under the bed, but it was discovered that a tiny infant was in fact in it and still very much alive. The only thing missing was a bottle. No clue where the baby will go right now but both women are being charged in this and it seems at one point the mom actually gave Susan her baby so no telling what happened. Either way I hope this baby goes to someone... [Read more]

There has still been no sighting of baby Shannon, however a babysitter, Susan Baker, has come to the media with proof that she wrote the Govenor earlier this year explaining that this little girl had drug abusing parents and that she loved her and didn’t want to see it destroy the baby’s life. Police are now looking into seeing if there is a possible link in the disappearance, especially if nothing was ever done. IMG: Sxc.hu Back in 1987, Baker’s stepson who was only 3 disappeared and has never been found. She was charged back then with 10 years in prison for abuse. Could this be why earlier today authorities blocked off the babysitter’s home, just in case there is a possible connection they can begin watching her. No... [Read more]

Shannon Lea Dedrick is only 7-months old and it is believed she went missing after her parents put her to bed. But sometime during the following morning when they came to check in on her she was gone. IMG: Sxc.huThere are rumors swirling the family had posted online they’d buried her, others were they were being investigated by DCF. While none of us would like to think any of this is true it is a possibility, but remember folks it is a POSSIBILITY, not 100% someone still could’ve taken her. One neighbor did report seeing a van pull up late Saturday, however no one knows anything else. Shannon’s mother started knocking on doors shortly after she searched her own home to make sure her baby wasn’t there. Currently not... [Read more]
