Beautiful photo of both of you, congrats to all.
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)and was happy to help him out!
Spazito
(50,511 posts)he's totally focused on your voice. He's already falling in love with his gramma, I tell ya (that's my story and I'm sticking to it, lol) and I have 5 little grand-munchkins, well, not so little any more but still little to me!
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)once he woke up his eyes were everywhere around. He just got focused when I looked intensely at him...

(13,141 posts)they say.. but not the caregiver's face, up close
Congratulations! that beautiful boy is fixing your
face forever in his brain.. it tells him much about
himself, and the world, to look at grandma's face.
At first your baby can't focus farther than 8 to 12 inches away just far enough to make out the face of the person holding him. He can detect light, shapes, and movement beyond that, but it's all pretty blurry right now. Appropriately enough, your face is the most fascinating thing to your baby at this age (followed by high-contrast patterns such as a checkerboard), so be sure to give him plenty of up-close time.

CTyankee
(63,912 posts)thanks so much, Laura! I have been over the moon for a while now.
He's my FIFTH! My second boy. It's all too wonderful. I now realize how much time I waste on "stuff." I have the most phenomenal grandkids and I waste far too much time on fussing over idiocy. Time to stop! Gotta love these moments...
