self awareness

Jacob loves mirrors (as most babies do.) At some point, usually around 9 months, babies become "self aware" and realize that the reflection in the mirror is their own, and not another cute baby staring back at them.

Now, Mark and I have been wondering whether or not Jacob has figured this self awareness thing out or not. The other day, I was watching him as he was holding on to our full-length mirror and he kept leaning his head around the side as if he were looking for the cute baby behind it. Not a very "self aware" behavior.

Today, he started making out with himself in the mirror. "Self aware?" You be the judge.
