Inside the living body

 

Armenian national cuisine

Armenian cuisine includes the foods and cooking techniques of the Armenian people, the Armenian diaspora and traditional Armenian foods and dishes. The cuisine reflects the history and geography where Armenians have lived as well as incorporating outside influences. The preparation of meat, fish, and vegetable dishes in an Armenian kitchen requires stuffing, frothing, and pureeing. Lamb, eggplant, mayonnaise, yoghurt, and bread (lavash) are basic features of Armenian cuisine.

Too emotional baby;)

My baby’s first birthday!

This is picture from my girl’s birthday party. But I want to introduce to interesting part from part of Armenian culture. In Armenia, when baby has his/her  first tooth it’s tradition to do a party where baby pick some items behind her ,for example panendoscope which means she/he will become doctor in future, or calculator-accountant etc. and whatever he/she picks  and what baby will become in future.

My Angel

I want to talk about babies because after becoming a mom I have learned so much about babies that sometimes I think it’s too much. When I become a mom I start to realize that I’m responsible for her.

Probably not everyone knows that at birth it takes the baby between five and 10 minutes to get used to something new, but by 3 months it will only take between 30 seconds and two minutes. And at 6 months,  baby will adjust in less than 30 seconds or that the touch is one of  baby’s most advanced senses at birth and even premature babies born as early as 25 weeks are aware of being touched. Baby’s sense of touch develops from head to toe, so her mouth is the first region to become sensitive, which is why young babies put everything in their mouths. Baby could sense how mom were feeling even in the womb! Researchers asked pregnant moms to listen to various types of music through headphones and then measured their babies’ movements with ultrasound. Most babies became more active when the music was on, especially if their mum was listening to music she liked. What is fascinating is that the babies could not hear the music ‘ it was only audible to the moms, so the babies were responding to their moms’ emotional responses to the music.

Ani Manukyan

Hi everyone!

 First of all I would like to present myself and then talk about my main topic of my blog.

   My name is Ani Manukyan. I am originally from Armenia. There I finished my school and when I tried to transfer to the University we found out that we are moving to U.S. it have been five years since I came here. To be honest at the first  year it was really hard for all of my family and especially for me. To move your place of living is like to born again and live your again. I did not have friends, I did not speak and understand English which was another stress for me.

   After a year I realized that if I continue in that way I will never succeed. Getting education is one of the most important thing that we can have and no one can take from us. If you have knowledge you can find good job and it will be easier to understand others, to communicate etc.. I started to learn English and then made plan how to transfer as soon as possible. In Armenia I wanted to become linguist- to be translator from Italian to Russian. Here my major is accounting. For me accounting is really interesting major. I don’t only learn  I also  enjoy  what I’m learning.

 I got married in U.S. and now I have one year old girl. Her name is Angelina and whenever I look at her I ask myself ” How did I live without her”. She is my miracle. And “YES” I am going to talk about babies from the rest of my blog.
