I'm just wondering when that moment of realisation hit that this little being is a real, tiny little person. Was it a sign soon as they were born? Before? When they said their first word? Or strung a sentence together?
My DC is 12 weeks and I see elements of personhood in him - like now I've found out he's ticklish on his chest, or a certain song that makes him smile. But overall it still feels like being a baby and having personhood are seperate things to me, and he hasn't quite developed full 'personhood', if that makes sense.
When did you first think that you had a real little person?
