Soren and I went to Book Babies at the library this afternoon. We haven't been in about a month and in that time, his brain has developed so much! Soren seemed like a completely different baby t
here, this week. Last time we went, he was crawling all over the floor and touching everything, especially the faces of other babies. This time he sat quietly on my lap with his attention riveted on the ladies reading stories. I think he was listening! He is beginning to understand that people are trying to communicate with him! He is fascinated by language. I could almost see the little wheels in his head turning. He was so attentive and intrigued, something I had not expected.
Then we took the train downtown to have lunch with Scott. Lots of people stopped to say "hi" to Soren and he grinned at all of them. He's always liked people but I think he is beginning to grasp that there is a two-way street to interacting with people. Those noises they are making--that's speech! Are they talking to me?
I know Soren is going to develop great interpersonal skills and I love watching it in action!
