Ugh, just wake up without crying!!!

[biblionerd]

Fiona still cries every time she wakes up, like immediately. Do yours do this? It's nerve-wracking! Linus did it when he was a baby, but around 10-11 months started that wake up and talk to himself for a while, or play with his stuffed animals, etc. She just goes from sound asleep to screaming when she's awake and gives me a freaking heart attack.

Most of the time, yeah, but it's more of a whine cry than scream cry.

That is Thad. He used to play. But now he just stands up and screams. Ugh. Grates on my nerves.

Yep. I don't understand it. Mia has NEVER woken up and jabbered/played. When I read about all the other kids playing for so long, etc it makes me wonder if something is wrong w/her. More of that comparison stuff. Maybe it's just that they miss us SO much they are horribly upset we aren't there waiting for the moment they open their little eyes up from slumber    I hate to say "I'm glad I'm not the only one" because it sucks, but I'm glad I'm not the only one! I do wait for the day, where this isn't the norm.

I know, it's honestly just so nice when Linus does it. Usually I have last minute stuff I need to do before getting them- lazy stuff like cleaning up after my lunch, putting stuff away, etc. So when I first hear Linus start talking I get my butt in gear and prepare myself to be a mom again lol.

 Fiona is just needier in general though (and lovey, cuddlier, etc.) so maybe she just wants to see me more?

Yep she wakes up crying every time.

[devonpow]

Yep. Both my kids did this. I think H stopped closer to 18 months.

[TrudyCampbell]

Violet wakes up crying 99% of the time. I never realized not all kids do this!

[joyhart02]

Lydia wakes up crying and she is 3.5.

[laurack]

I had no idea there was anything different... Ha

DD doesn't cry, but she stands up immediately and whines. If I don't get in there quick to get her though, it escalates quickly and the screaming begins.

I can count on one hand (probably three fingers) the number of times DS has woken up happy.
