Who IS this baby?

We seem to have hit a sea change with Crime Fighter today. I don't know that I can pinpoint it exactly, but I feel like his brain grew three sizes today.
Stuff that is new and exciting in Crime Fighter Land are:
Learning to pet the noble steed, entrope's dog. I have yet to learn how this goes exactly. I can't wait to hear and/or see.
Patting my face. This means I get blessed with lovely cold, wet slime trails on my cheeks and means I learn to take off my glasses very quickly when we're starting this game.
Baby sense of humor is still a bit baffling. No surprise, but raspberries and fart noises are 100% funny no matter what. But it's also funny when I nom his fingers. Although the way he laughs at it, feels like an inside joke between us. I miss the exact nuance, but I appreciate being included.
His grip has always been quite good, but now he's good enough to pick up his plastic bin that comes with the different shapes- standard Fisher-Price sort of thing. Well, he'll lift it while it's full of the block/shapes  and get it to his mouth. This means fun spilling everywhere, so bonus!
The rolling. He started to get good within the past month and will flip over in a matter of seconds from back to belly, but is starting to manage the reverse. I have to stalk him with a camera a bit to see if I can capture this sometime soon. 
Food. He's been given tastes of lots of different things from our plates. Usually the sauces, but he's also tried cheerios, sweet potatoes, white potatoes- pesto... I need to make more of an effort to give him a more structured opportunity to try this "eating" thing. It's pretty astonishing to see him go from entire incomprehension about big people food to anticipating getting a bit of it for himself
Bath time included serious splashing. It was very engrossing. I feel like it was a 2 or 300-level undergrad class in splashing for him. I'd not witnessed it before, as daddy normally commandeers bath time. It may well have been a new trick from just today. 

But as previously mentioned, long stretches of sleep are not one of his tricks. Yet. Bedtime for Bonzo.

It may also be worth remembering that steps forward are sometimes accompanied by steps back in other areas. Can be surprising if one is not expecting it.
