And now for something completely different...

I'm a faithful Catholic, but my knowledge of church doctrine is lacking compared to Big Jim. So I'm going to pose this completely random question to him (and to anyone else who may happen to stumble across this).

Is there an official position on when Jesus became "self-aware" (for lack of a better word)? Did he know when he was in the womb that he was the divine Son of God? Or did he learn/realize this at a later time? And if so, when and how? Presumably, it would be before he was teaching "in (His) father's house" at the age of 12.

I don't even know if there is an official position, or if there some obvious one that I just don't know.
