The books say that babies exhibit a "preference for novelty", i.e., they are drawn to things that are new in some way. For Thomas, this is not just a character trait, it is his prime motivator. One gift that keeps on giving is the mirror, since the "baby in the mirror" is always doing something interesting. In the video below you'll see Thomas confronting and attempting to eat the baby in the mirror.
Thomas has also discovered the joys of the door stopper. More specifically, the beautiful noise that it makes.
The philosophers have said that it is impossible to observe someone or something without affecting that which is observed. Thomas could not agree more.
