A New Mobile

just this past week (week 4) we noticed Serif beginning to track things with his eyes. until now he's stared at the hatch posters above our couch, i guess because of the high contrast. it's been interesting to see him all of a sudden notice things or focus on something and watch his head stay still to focus as you move about. pretty cool stuff. we hadn't purchased a mobile up to this point because we couldn't find one we really liked. well, this one turned out pretty great. it has interchangeable cards that are black and white and high contrast colors of different graphic images. since babies can only see black and white to begin with this seemed very smart to us. anyways. he's not paid too much attention to it yet, but it will be interesting to see him discover it. this photo is one of his afternoon naps.

a quick update (12.9.08): week 5 has been a great progression with the mobile. he's really starting to notice it and it keeps him quite content in his crib. it's been so cool seeing his progression with his vision. i'm sure it's only going to get that much more exciting. it's cool to see him focus in on an image or follow you when you move. it's nice to know he notices us visually and not just auditory. although that's cool too.
