It was a warm and sunny day on Monday. Since we haven’t really taken Bryan out for a walk in the neighborhood, we decided it was time to meet the neighbors.
A block down the road, we did meet a mother with her 10-month-old daughter on their front lawn. So we did what parents with babies do — exchanging “vital data” on our babies… how old, how big when s/he was born… etc. The mother went on to tell us that the neighborhood is full of young infants. What a surprise!
I guess Bryan is not used to being out for more than 15 minutes. He was exhausted from having seen so many different things outside of his comfy home. Brian was right about one thing though: When you see babies looking at things for the first time of their lives, their curiosity does make you look at things a little differently. Those mundane, boring objects you see day in and day out do look pretty cool.
Having a baby changes everything. And it’s not just the routines of day to day activies. Sometimes it’s how you perceive things as if it was your first time.
