How about now? I have reattached the photos. I checked with my wife and she said that the baby stares like that occasionally but quite often.

Brief Answer:
Absence seizures need to be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. This time the images are there. I have checked them. It does not appear normal. Absence seizures need to be ruled out. You need to get the child evaluated by a neurologist and need to get an EEG (preferably a video EEG, but not mandatorily) done.
