One of my favorite parts of the day now is watching Eli wake up from a deep sleep which at this point happens quite often throughout the day. I had not been around babies much before Eli arrived so I've never experienced this special time before and am just amazed at not only how long it takes him to wake up but all the facial expressions and little grunts and movements he makes. I often have to laugh under my breath so as not to startle him from his sleep. It's almost impossible though as he smiles, then grimaces, then grunts, then stretches, then rolls his eyes back in his head all within seconds. I wonder what's going on in that little head of his and also whether all babies do this or if somehow this process is unique to our Eli. I like to think it's his "thing" but guess most babies do the same. I had to try to capture this moment on video since still photos cannot tell this story.
Adorable! Except I can't watch a baby (in real life or on a video) without mimicking their facial expressions. So I just sat in my office reenacting that whole video.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE watching them wake up. Also watching them right after they eat. Hilarious.
