As a Water sign, the Cancer baby is likely to be more emotional than most. In a word: tears! This baby will probably cry a fair bit, so holding and touching are of paramount importance-really anything to achieve comfort. Along these lines, this is a baby who needs to feel secure and will easily pick up any bad vibes in the household. Therefore, arguing in the presence of this child should be kept to a minimum.

Family is very important to the Cancer baby, as is nurturing. As Cancer is the sign of the Mother, the elements of nurturing, family, and mood swings (think sensitivity and emotions) are highlighted. Also, because Cancer is the sign of Memory, the Cancer baby will retain memories from the past, both good and bad. This is a child who could get lost in the supermarket for two minutes and forever remember it as a sign of rejection from the mother! For this reason and others, this tot needs to be made to feel secure, especially within the family unit (family will always be more important to the Cancer baby than friends).

The somewhat reticent Cancer baby will nonetheless surprise Mom and Dad by being fussy about food, so be sure to please that palate! To sum up, the Cancer baby is familial, must feel protected, and with any kind of luck, will learn to swim like a fish!

The miracle of life (and science)!

My heartbeat!


Mommy really thinks I look like Frosty in this one...What do you think?

Chubby little leg...
Really trying to suck my thumb!
Almost there with the thumb.
I'm A Boy! See? I told you so...
Thankfully, it seems that I have Mommy's nose!
Am I pouting?
Looking like Daddy's Baby pictures!
Little Turtle Man

Can't wait to see you in person!

There is no doubt-I look just like Daddy.  See my pouty mouth?
