Month two of Dante's life was similar to month one development wise. Day by day we'd see subtle signs of a budding personality that only doting parents would see. Mostly he was a soft, cuddly sleeping baby we enjoyed holding. I don't think Dante liked being awake much the first few months. He'd open his eyes, look around, whimper, fuss, nurse, fuss and fall back to sleep. He had no interest in all the toys and mobiles we got him. I figure he preferred to dream about being back in the womb hoping that this new and stimulated wake environment would disappear. I wonder if babies know the difference between awake and sleep or have them reversed because the sleep stage is what they are more familiar with and spend most of their early life in. Looking at Dante try to sleep away the world, I kept thinking of what Edgar Allan Poe wrote: "All that we see and seem is but a dream within a dream" By month two we got the hang of baby handling, found a balance and resumed an active but responsible life. Dante was welcomed as the beau of the ball wherever we went. With unseasonal warm weather and endless sunny days, Dante lived in the bjorn, stroller or sling and went everywhere with us: museums, parties, lunch, grocery shopping Naomi's birthday party (Click here for photos), you name it. D went with us.
The highlight of November was our trip to Paris..
