I started thinking about this subject a lot when we had our baby. She's 4 months now, but around the age of 2 months, she would never look at me or my wife when we held her. She was always looking at things over our shoulders. It was as if she was seeing things there that we couldn't. And it wasn't just random, jerky movement type stuff that kids that age usually have. She clearly and calmly was intently looking at something that to my wife and I was just a blank wall.
I wonder now why we don't have memories from the first 2-3 years of our lives. What is it that we could see that we can't now see as adults?
