Declan loves to play with his toy mirror. Never fails, no matter his mood, as soon as he sees himself in the mirror he gets excited. What I've noticed recently is that when you tip the mirror so that you can see Declan's reflection and he can see yours, he will immediately look away from the mirror and right at you. He already understands that it is our reflections and looks for the real person. Smarty pants.
We also caught him today discovering how his thumb works in relation to his hand. He was just sitting there staring at his hand while he moved him thumb back and forth against his index finger. It's really great watching him learn and discover.
My little monkey fell asleep on my legs at about 8:30pm. Of course I let him sleep there until 9pm because watching him sleep is one of my favourite things in the entire world. He's still a bit feverish from teething so he got a little sweaty head from laying on my calf. When I picked him up at 9pm to carry him off to bed he opened his eyes and saw his Daddy. Instantly he was waving his arms and smiling like he'd been awake the entire time. Sweet peanut. Too bad, it's bedtime so Daddy said goodnight and I carried Declan off to bed. He was out cold as his head hit the mattress.
And before I forget...there is just one week left before my monkey is 8 months old. Just incredible.
