Noticing

With each new development, I'm more and more awed by the miracle that is my son.  He is becoming more and more aware of the world around him, and very curious about everything.  He can lie under his activity mat for a long time without getting bored, just looking and noticing the colors and shapes around the family room.  Even after I enter the room to feed him when he's crying in his crib, he will lie for a few minutes captivated by the slats on the crib and now, his mobile above.  I hope he never loses this curiosity about the world and this zeal for life.  And I hope I become more of a noticer, too!
