Please close this question and post it as a monolingual question.

To answer your question, yes and no.

Babies are active enquirers. The key word is "compare." They have minds that they use to compare and contrast what they perceive so that they can make sense of the world around them. They are not just cute objects, but active subjects. They are learning all the time, discerning, comparing, and passing judgment. And, of course, they profit by doing so.

Finally, to go by, means to pass by, to continue going on its way.
