Mirror

Just gave Isaac his bath, and had a session of bird noises with him. He was very attentive and really took his turn to squawk. He was very excited and kicked a lot, he likes chatting!

Afterwards I showed him himself in the mirror. He normally just lolls about and doesn't really do a lot, but this time he leant forward and really looked interested. He then made an inquisitive noise and really smiled at himself. It was amazing, he obviously didn't realise he was looking at himself, since he has no concept of self - but to react to another baby in the mirror was pretty good going! I kept him there until my back really hurt leaning over the bathroom shelf and then Clare took him off to 'tit feed' as we now call it. Clare always refers to 'the breast' as people do with 'breast feeding'. It sounds so royal, 'The Breast'. So we are going to call it 'the tit', and 'tit feeding'.
