11.5 months old baby - trip to hometown

We had taken Richie to our hometown when he was 12 weeks old. He could not understand much that time but he was happy to get all the attention. Specially his 4 cousins who would sing nursery rhymes and play with you. He was cooing and making cute little sounds. He would talk to the poster of babies on the wall and smile at everyone.

This trip was different. He was aware of the surroundings and would react differently to different people. The first few days, Richie was observing everyone. He would not allow anybody near him and would coming running to me or his dada. He took a little while to adjust himself to the new place. After a week or so, he started playing with his cousins and was happy to be in the company of kids. He started interacting with the elders in the house too. After some days he was so comfortable that he started staying with mom while we were running errands. When we came back home he would shout with joy and come running (crawling fast) to the door.
