The World Through a 3-Month-Old's Eyes

These last few weeks of Gabriel's development have meant improved sight, and so he is really noticing the world around him. So, one evening I was sitting on the sofa with Gaby on my lap when all of a sudden he starts talking up a storm and kind of giggling (only as a 3 month old does). Well, usually he doesn't "talk" unless prompted by one of us, and neither one of us were talking. Patrick noticed he was intently staring in the direction of the chair, so for a minute we wondered if he was chatting with an angel. This "conversation" went on for about 5 mintues, and we just sat and listened - still not knowing what prompted it all. This continued to occur once or twice a day over the past few weeks...always while Gaby was looking in the direction of the chair. Finally I realized that the bright, red fire extinguisher that hangs above the chair is what caught his attention. And because he can now see the vibrant, red color from across the room he just takes it all in, which prompted him on more than one occasion to express his delight - go figure!
Some other things Gabriel is starting to notice:
-His feet...he is always staring at them
-The remote...he gets really excited if I let him look at and touch the remote
-The mobile above his crib...he gets excited as soon as I turn it on
-Himself in the mirror...he just stares at himself
-His mommy's red fingernails...he loves to grab for my fingers when they are painted red

It is so fun to watch him grow and develop and see the world through his eyes!
