"He sure is serious looking."
"Is he shy?"
"He's just looking around at everything..."
What they mean is, why doesn't he smile. He isn't smiling at strangers, he's very serious looking. He's not crying but instead he just stares at them, at everything around. He studies things. He thinks. You can practically hear the gears in his head working.
Usually he's thinking "How can I get that?".
But people who don't know him, don't see him, they think something is wrong. That's he's a serious boy, not a happy baby.
That's because his little personality is becoming more and more apparent. His personality says that he does not like crowds and lots of people in his face and loud noise. His personality says that he saves his laugh, saves his smiles for the special people.
They don't see him like I do. They don't know my Bathtub Santa.

I like your bathtub Santa. Where can I get one?
Joshy was very serious and contemplative, and still is sometimes. He was like that as a baby and we, too, got the "Why is he so serious?" and the like. Now that he's so much older, we realize he is just like that. A deep thinker. So many times he'll bring up an observation that everyone else missed from about a year ago.
Speaking of Joshy, he sealed a letter for his pen pal today, so it'll be there shortly!
