| For once, he's not looking at himself in a mirror. |
The other night, Sammy and I were playing with his brand new tummy-time mirror. It has a lady bug in the corner with a turning ball in the center. I was turning it for Sammy as he watched. Sean said that he'd never seen Sammy concentrate so hard on something for so long. When I left to get ready for bed, Sean held the mirror up for Sammy, and he started batting at the lady bug, too! It wasn't just once, he did this for a few minutes straight.
This was the first sudden change I've seen in him. Everything else has been so gradual--steady head control, practicing standing, even smiling--but I was floored by him doing that, especially since I'd only done it once.
He's made a habit of copying us. Obviously, he talks back to us when we talk to him, but he's also started sticking his tongue out as us like we do to him to make him smile. He'll even start sticking his tongue out when he hears the "lollipop" noise we make as we do it.
The video is one of him hitting the noise-maker hanging above him. If it doesn't look intentional, just trust me that it is. He's started staring at it and laughing. Silly boy.
