Tracking

今日から日本語でもブログを書きます。いろいろ間違えるかもしれないですが、日本の方も見てると聞きましたので、頑張ります。

At 27 days, Taiyo is really tracking movement with his eyes. For the first few weeks, he was often not aware of things around him. But now he will notice movement passing across his field of vision and often orient on that movement.

His favorite thing to track is Momma, which he does with a steady penetrating gaze. But he will also lock onto other things and follow them around the room for short periods before losing interest in favor of other intruiging sights in his surroundings.

I am reminded of how becoming a visual creature is a slow and steady process with many different levels along the way. I can remember when he first began to really stare at things in front of him. He does that for hours now...

生後２７日の太陽は動くものをよく目で追います。最初の数週間の間、太陽が周りの物にあまり気付かなかったです。でも、最近から何か目の前で動くとそれを見つめるんです。

一番好きな見つめるものは、もちろんママです。でも、興味を失う前に他の物も暫く見つめます。

人間にとって視覚が大切で、それが少しずつ発達するかを考えさせられます。初めて太陽が目の前の物を見つめるようになったことを覚えてますが、今ではもっと長くできるようになりました。
