Don't Startle the Baby!

What is going on with Nylabear? Just recently she has started to get startled very easily. For example, if someone comes up to her and makes a remotely loud noise, Nyla screams. If Okie starts running around the house on the hardwoods, she cries. If there is a loud bang on a movie on T.V., she screams bloody murder. What's up with that?

For the first four months of her life, Nyla has always been very comfortable in loud settings, seeing as family has always been around. But all of a sudden, she's turned a corner. She likes it a little quieter I guess. I can't even begin to adequately describe her cry; it's almost like hyperventilating and crying at the same time. Her face goes beet red, her hands clench up, and her mouth is wide open. The only consolation for her at this point is either me or her daddy.

As much as I'd like to say that we'll start to quiet down, I don't think we will. People say that you shouldn't be quieter just for a baby; the baby needs to adapt to the lifestyle. It's just not practical for it to be quiet in every situation in life. So we will continue on as we are now. But we are asking people to please try to not make loud, surprise noises. Homegirl doesn't like that one bit.
