So the post from a couple of days ago was “awake” and this one is sleeping. No really, honestly.
If you have ever observed someone sleeping you can usually hear or see some relatively unusual eccentricities or cute things they do with their lips. You know.
So Amelia has a script, of sorts, that she follows when she hits REM and starts dreaming. It usually includes the head twitch, a half smile, a full smile, open eyes, eyebrow raising, a sucking motion and occaisionally a sad face thrown in for flavor.
The 30 second video here has all but the sad face. I removed the “sound” to make a smaller file but there was no sound anyway so it doesn’t matter. Don’t smack your speakers around thinking something is wrong.
Here you can see perfect execution of a SleepingHalfSmile-DoubleEyeRoll-MiniSuck-SingleMondoEyeRoll-CheesySmile completed with a nice ReverseHalfSmile-MiniHeadTwitchCombo.

She made me sleepy! You used to do that, at least you slept with one eye open I didn’t know if you were awake or asleep, didn’t know much about REM in those days, or babies for that matter!

That is priceless! I love it when she looks upward and then gets a cute little smile on her face. What an angel!
