metawidget: Oscar around one month, with Pixel. (oscar and pixel)

So, we found that Oscar was having a blast in a laundry basket in front of a mirror. Then I took some video footage (not thinking, I took it portrait-sideways, which is why the laptop is on its side). Then Oscar saw the video of him, and I had to take another video of him enjoying the video of himself in the mirror. I'm sure someone has thought of this before, but we were laughing.

And yes, he was similarly excited at this video too.

Here are some stills of Oscar and the mirror (without recursion):

Oscar and his reflection from above

After all that new media excitement, Oscar is now sleeping soundly beside me, for now…

One of my parents' favourite baby pictures is one of me, about 6 months old smiling up at the wall, on which there is another baby photo of me.

At that age fairestcat really liked 5gallon buckets even better than the laundry basket. Boy is he cute!!!

I recently heard a conversation with a physicist discussing multiple universes. He said he became fascinated with the concept when he was a kid, looking at his increasingly distorted reflection in a pair of mirrors set up on either side of him.

You may have just turned Oscar into a theoretical physicist.

I think he's having as much fun banging on the table as he is watching the video!
