Did you ever wonder what babies think of when interacting with adults? My husband and I have been babysitting our 3-month-old grandson two days a week since mid-May. Over the past few weeks we've tried to imagine Christian's thoughts as we coo and burble and make funny faces at him. We're simply trying to amuse the little guy, but is that how he sees it? Does he find us to be funny, or simply crazy? When I look at the pictures below, here's what I imagine he's thinking.
"Safe and sound in Dad's arms. Not a bad way to sleep."
"Okay. My feet are on the floor.
What do I do next?"
"Don't worry. Your mom will come back for you.
Mine always does."
"You want me to do
what?"
"
This is how you should hold your bat, Dad!"
"And I'm supposed to do what with this?"
"Oh, yeah. Keep scratching that spot, Mom!"
"Got my flag, got my pillow.
Bring on the Olympics!"
"A warm bottle, a long nap, and a
good poop in the pants. Can't get much
better than this."
"You protect yourself
with your left hand and
jab with your right!"

"So if pi equals 3.14, then the circumference
of the lion's head must be..."
"Hey! Don't blame me. The leopard thing was her idea!"
