When do/did your babies recognize themselves in the mirror?

My twins loves mirrors. They look at it, smile, laugh, do silly things. I just gave my boy a bath after a massive diaper. Then I let him play in our bedroom. Hes playing in front of our closet mirror doors forever. Hes smiling, laughing, touching, kissing it lol. It's so cute. I think he recognizes it's him at some level. He might think oh it's another me. It's Funny when he waves and kisses himself in the mirror lol. I know he doesn't know it's his image yet. So when did your babies recognize themselves in he mirror? Just wanted to share shah

 

I learned this back in college in a child psych class but can't remember for sure. Six months is sticking out in my mind but I could be very very wrong.

 

I believe it is around 15 months. That is the first age if you put some paint on his cheek he will reach for his own face while looking in the mirror.

It is fun to watch the little one's having a blast with that handsome little guy the see in the mirror!

 

I am taking Human Growth and Development right now and our textbook says most kids start to recognize themselves in the mirror around 15-18 months. A few days ago, Michael saw himself in the mirror and said "baby". But he can't say his own name yet, so I don't know if he recognizes that that is him yet.

 

I said 6mos ---- this is why I got a "C" in Child Psych. lol

 

I have to say at this stage it's so fun. They have so much fun discovering new things. And we have fun watching them. Theyre just so super cute lol

My son even tried to grap his hair shadow on the wall yesterday lol.
