As we get close to our first month with Adelais one of the biggest changes that I see with her is her ability to see and focus. When she was first born it was clear that she could barely see anything, and nothing made much sense. But now she is seeing much more - when we walk under one of our ceiling fans she will arch her back to look up at it, or if we pass a window she will twist to look out of it - or at lease towards the light. At times she looks you straight in the eyes, and now it is with some recognition, or at least that is what it feels like. It is amazing to see this young human slowly gain such an amazing skill, a skill that is the strongest sense in most of us. Many animals get alot of information through smell or hearing, but humans (again, for most of us) get the majority of our sensory input through sight. Seeing is how we organize ourselves in this world and to watch Adelais slowly gain proficiency is really quite amazing.
