Do babies sense things?

Alexsis

Today I was at work and a friend of mine brung his son to work . I’ve never met his child this is my first time ,but he only wanted me to pick him up and nobody else even when I put him down he’ll end up coming back to me as if he’s known me when that’s our first time meeting . Do you think babies can sense things and if so what do you he can sense from me? It’s like he literally fell in love with me .
