Harry looked in the mirror today and said his name. He had walked over to the freestanding, full-length mirror in our spare bedroom as he often likes to do and I, following closely behind to avert any potential accidents, asked him "who's that baby in the mirror?" I asked that many times before, but this time he answered, saying something like "ahwy." I thought I had heard him say this earlier today while staring at his reflection in the oven, but I was across the room and maybe he was just standing there babbling. This time, though, it seemed pretty clear he was trying to repeat the name he's been hearing for 13 months, so I picked him up and brought him to the mirror in our bedroom where his mother was dressing. I asked him again who was in this mirror. He said "ahwy" again and that was good enough for his mother, too.
