In the early weeks, light, shapes and faces are what a baby can make out, and movement is something they can pick up too. New things draw their attention, and the human world draws it hardest: babies give their most intense attention to a face โ€” even a rough approximation of one. So there is nothing to print and nothing to hold up. You are the pattern.
