Baby = Jeff Goldblum?

Today, Matt mentioned that Carter spends his time searching for the anomaly, inspecting and deciphering it. Does that make a baby like a scientist? I think so. It is all about patterns.

E.g. There is a floor. On this floor (which is so clean, no dust, hair or food-RIGHT!) there is a single speck of dirt. What on earth can this be? I will touch it with my finger. No, that is not good enough. Let's just place it in the storage, incubation facility to determine texture, taste, and ease of digestion.

OK, really, once you break it down, it is less Carter trying his darndest to get into EVERYTHING, and more Carter having a need to learn about everything. That makes it easier...especially after a weekend spent following Carter crawling around, saying "Danger, danger." pulling him away from life ending object after another and placing him in front of a boring toy.

This just in...Carter now can put himself in a sitting position from crawling. Now that he can do it, he can't be stopped.
