7 month old, second week

You've always known that you and your baby are two separates creatures, but she hasn't. To her, the two of you are one - she has no identity of her own yet. When you puther in front of a mirror, she doesn't even realise that the baby she sees is herself. But this months she'll make a huge mental leap and finally understand that she's an individual, with her own body,thoughts, and feelings. This jump in understanding opens the door to her growing emotional and physical independence, which will take years to fully develop.
