Imprinting is when a shape-shifter finds their soulmate. Now a lot of people are thinking of this the wrong way and calling Jacob a pedophile but that's not how imprinting works. It isn't always in a romantic sense. Imprinting simply creates a powerful bond between a shape-shifter and the imprintee. The shape-shifter will always care for their imprint and want to protect them. There are different stages of imprinting.

1st stage - If the imprintee is young, the shape-shifter will act as an older sibling.

2nd stage - As the imprintee grows older, the shape-shifter will also come to be their best friend.

3rd stage - They become intimate friends. Meaning, their feelings for each other are changing into romantic feelings. (this stage may or may not happen to the imprintee, but the imprinter will fall in love with his imprintee. They will not 'see' any other person in a romantic way, at all. Their imprintee is all he/she cares about and he/she will love their imprint even if those feelings aren't returned.)

4th stage - When the imprintee is old enough, the shape-shifter's feelings grow into romantic/sexual love.

The shape-shifter will be at all times very protective and loving to the imprintee. And just to clear things up a wolf and his/her imprint do not have to get together in a romantic way. While the wolf doesn't get a choice about his/her feelings the imprintee does. They can chose whether or not they want to return the wolf's romantic feelings. However most of the time they do because, "it's hard to resist that level of commitment, compatibility, and adoration."

Hope this helps.

It means that the baby means everything to him.

In the book it says:

The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood.

It was the baby girl in the blond vampire's arms that held me here now.

I assume you mean when the Quileute shape shifters find their soul mates.

It's when a shape shifter finds their soul mate. He becomes bound to her for eternity. They would do anything for the girl. Imprinting can't happen by choice, as Jacob finds when he tries to imprint on Bella.

An example of an imprint is Sam and Emily. Sam was dating Leah Clearwater at the time. But once he met Leah's cousin; Emily, he was bound to her. Sam is now happily engaged to Emily.
