Where's that coming from?

In the wee hours of the morning when Lucas wakes up, I bring him to my room and nurse him before we actually get up. It's a way for us both to wake up a little.

Last night I was reading something on my phone before I went to sleep and just laid my phone on the bed next to my pillow. It eventually got buried under a blanket. After Lucas finished nursing this AM, he sat up and was smiley. Then my phone made a noise. It was some text message alert or something. He immediately started looking for my phone and found it buried under blankets.

My phone is like treasure because I won't let him play with it. That makes it automatically classified as "baby gold". He will seek it out. He was SO proud of himself that he'd found it that I let him hold it for a whole 5 minutes till he got distracted with something else.

I love the stages in child development. Lucas is learning that even if he can't see something, it's still there. Good ol Piaget and his object permanence.
