MY BABY BOOK

By: Justin Wallace

SECTION 1-A

My mom had a fairly regular pregnancy. She craved crushed ice

and fruit on a very regular basis. Her morning sickness was more severe than

most and lasted longer as well. Other than that, there were no other

complications, major or minor. I was born on June 23rd, her exact due date.

SECTION 1-B,C

Throughout my mom’s entire pregnancy, I was predicted to be a girl.

Because of this, they were set on the name “Jessica”. They were panicked about

finding a name when the doctor informed them of the sex, so all the male names

they could think of started with the letter J. Since they couldn’t agree on one, they

let my grandma choose between the names “Jackson” and “Justin”. The final choice

goes without saying.

SECTION 2-A,B

I weighed 8 pounds, 15 ounces at birth, and was 23 inches long.

SECTION 2-D

In most areas, my developmental milestones were near par in

relation to the average. The only time I hit a milestone at a significantly

different time was when I grew and lost teeth. I grew teeth at a very early

age, which I suggest is genetic because my dad was born with a few teeth. In

turn, I lost them at a younger age than most because they came in early and

were naturally ready to go.

SECTION 2-E,F

Puberty is when a person becomes capable of

reproduction by way of developing into their adult bodies.

SECTION 2-G

Andrew Wilson, an early bloomer, was mocked for being the only one

with a squeaky voice, but he did grow bigger than everyone else during that

time which was better. Kyle Lance, on the other hand, still has not reached

puberty. His voice does not sound like a man’s voice at all, and his unimpressive

body does not compliment that well in a high school environment.

SECTION 2-H

As humans age, our bodies naturally change in many ways. Physically- our skin becomes leathery and saggy, we lose bone and muscle density, our hair may change color or fall out, and we take on a general weakness over time, along with a decrease in vision and hearing.

Mentally- we often lose memory capacity, which is linked to Alzheimer’s Disease, and it is more difficult for us to learn new things.

Emotionally- Many of us become exposed to grief, suffering, and depression in our old age, because of the common experience of death. However, we also learn how to cope throughout that time. We become more emotionally stable and in control.
