Nicholas has long enjoyed looking at the pictures of me and Joe on the wall, but he has only in the past week taken an interest in looking at pictures of himself as well. He also suddenly is fascinated by his own reflection in the mirrors on a couple of his toys. I doubt he understands that he is looking at himself. My guess is that after looking in mirrors so often, he recognizes himself as his friend in the mirror.
Whatever the train of thought is, he just loves looking at all the family pictures on the wall right now. Joe had him over looking at them and he kept asking to go to the next one (i.e. straining to see the next one) and smiling and laughing. A child after my own heart.
