How Jasmine is growing:

My baby is growing up fast these days, walking, talking a little, and even using a spoon or fork when she eats. Every game she plays, whether it's pointing to different body parts when you ask her to or putting objects into containers and taking them out again, teaches her about the world around her. One of the things she's learning is that she's an autonomous entity, not just an extension of me. How can I tell that she has grasped this concept? If you watch her in front of a mirror; she recognizes herself and isn't trying to reach out and touch the "other" baby! She gets it. The way she interacts with the world around her tells me a lot about her temperament too. She's a little hot head!
