Today was the greatest afternoon with Zuzu. I just love that girl. We sang and bounced, read, explored different textures, practiced tracking objects, cuddled, watched a family of ground squirrels that apparently live in a hole in our front yard, and enjoyed her latest discovery: her fist.
Lately she has been showing more interest in faces and will often respond with smiles, wiggles or wide eyes to the different expressions Ty & I make for her. Since she was pretty alert and happy this afternoon, I put a mirror in front of her to see what she would do. Soon she began to smile and kick her arms and legs in jubilation for the baby in the mirror – herself. Then I grabbed the camera, aimed it at her, and flipped the screen around so she could see herself. The same response: happy, happy, happy. Today when I sang there was Zuzu, looking back at me, mouth gaping open in a huge grin interspersed with drawn out sounds as if she was trying to sing back.
Above is Zuzu’s reaction to seeing herself on the camera screen.
