Right at delivery my son looked at me as if to say "what is going on" He was very alert. From day one when he was awake his eyes were wide open and looking around. He never had that sleepy baby look. He seemed to interact with people (for example with strangers when we went shopping) with his eyes. People commented that he seemed to be flirting at a couple of months old in his baby carrier. I could never ignore him - he always seemed to want to be engaged and learning something. In contrast other babies the same age seemed unaware of their surroundings.
