Last week you got to see Amelia right before bed. Here is a shot of her right after she’s woken up.
I think she had a nightmare last night. Usually when she wakes up at night she’ll just whine until I pick her up and feed her. Around 2 AM, though, she was actually crying. Since she’s not much of a crier, it meant one of two things: I’d ignored her for way too long (not possible since I wake up pretty easily and wouldn’t have slept through the preliminary whining) or she was scared and/or hurt. I ran to her room and frantically tried to soothe her. She was crying big sad tears in her sleep and nothing I did would comfort her until she finally woke herself up. Lucky for me she just nursed herself back to sleep; otherwise it could have been a long sleepless night.
She woke up with a smile on her face this morning (see exhibit A above) so she must not be too traumatized by whatever it was.
Does anyone know if babies really do have nightmares?
I just loved reading this , Such love and amity would stay forever! She looks beautiful! and babies having nightmares ? debatable to say the least!
I love Mila Mondays! I haven't checked blogs in a while and the first thing I thought of was coming to check on how Amelia was growing. Still has those big "I just saw a ghost eyes!" Cute blanket too.
Fer freakin' ADORABLE.
Also, I totally think babies have nightmares. Hyrum's done the same thing to me once or twice.
she's so stinkin' cute. And Spencer has woken up scared out of his mind several times and I'm convinced it is because he was having a nightmare. The next question is what is a nightmare for a baby? Oh no, the milk doesn't taste as good or mom and dad didn't pick me up fast enough… I can think of a lot, all amusing. 🙂
Ashish: Thanks! Are you a friend of my brother's?
Laurie: Isn't she getting big? I love checking in on Lilly and seeing how grown up the twins are getting. It's crazy.
LJ: Yeah, I think she's pretty adorable too. 🙂
Jolena: Every time I think about what her nightmare could have been about, that's the route I go too. But really if you think about it, being left alone and helpless would be pretty terrifying…
@Jen-No, I just happened to read our blog just like that
