Who or what is that?

I wonder what the world is like for my baby. I wonder how she manages to process all of the new information she receives each day without having a total meltdown. Sometimes, browsing the web for a couple hours and reading the news can make my head hurt, what must it be like for someone who doesn't know language yet? Who hears a few hundred new words every day? Who sees a few hundred new things each hour? Who doesn't know what something will feel like when she touches it, doesn't know how something will smell when it's brought close to her face, doesn't know how a new food will taste, doesn't know what's hot or cold, what's smooth or rough, what's soft or hard?

It's making my head hurt just thinking about it.
