Somebody Loves Himself!
As you can see, taking self portraits is serious business!
Wolf is almost 7 weeks old and he’s been so much fun lately. He’s finally out of that newborn haze and he’s starting to develop new skills. He’s beginning to track things, he’s cooing all the time and smiles are so frequent you’d think he knew a secret! But one of my favorite new things that Wolf is experiencing is his own reflection.
The first time it happened, I held Wolf up to the mirror and said “Who’s that baby?” Little did I know that he’d actually see himself! Regardless if he knows that it’s him or not, he still stared right at his little face in the mirror and continued to watch it when I moved him around. Plus, the other night I took a video of him on my phone and he stared at himself the entire time. So cute.
It really gets me excited for other skills yet to be learned! I’m anxiously awaiting that first giggle.

lo commented on Jul 13 11 at 4:45 pmYou’ll love when he will be able to clasp his own hands and play with them. I adore that phase. My baby looks a big boy with his hands clasped and an oh so serious face. They are adorable. The smiles and the giggles make it up for the interrupted sleep :-).

annabelvita commented on Jul 14 11 at 12:40 pmMy mum says it’s fun to stick a tiny sticker on the baby’s face every now and then when they’re looking in the mirror. A couple of months in they’ll see it in the mirror but touch their face not the mirror baby so you can tell they’ve worked out it’s them. (If you don’t like the idea of a sticker (like a dot sticker) I’m sure you can work around).
