It’s really amazing how quickly the boy develops. Just over the weekend, he became a little more aware of what was happening around him. He was looking at things with conviction — actually taking in what he was looking at. He also started to *talk* a bit….coos and grunts and whatnot. Then yesterday he became even more aware of what was going on. First, he smiled at Jen (and not just your run-of-the-mill infant gas smile). Then, last night, while we were eating dinner on the living room floor, he just laid on his back, cooing to himself, reaching out for a little toy that made noise when he touched it. It’s been really amazing watching him learn and absorb things. Such a little sponge….
