Inherited Trait from Dad

So many of you know that Brent occasionally has "Dream Screams". This is where in the middle of the night Brent will let out a blood curdling scream while still asleep. This is very scary for a newlywed, but now as a seasoned married couple I have learned to live with it and try to wake Brent up without getting an accidental slap to the face or kick in the shin. I'll leave those stories for another post.

I think Eli has picked up this trait. Today, Eli let out a "Dream Scream". It was one single loud cry. I went over to look at him and he was still in deep sleep -- rhythmic breathing, relaxed limbs, eyes closed. I thought it was very strange and stood there for a few minutes waiting for him to start waking, but nothing. I guess time will tell if this was a random occurrence or if one day Eli will freak out his new wife too.

Of course, what's a post without new pictures!

Look at that hair!
Are you my mom?

  1. He is just so precious! Connor didn't scream in his sleep, but he would make the most pitiful little whimpers that just broke our hearts. Congrats again. He is one beautiful baby boy.

  3. LOL! Audrey has only had "dream cries." A few seconds of pouty face cries then back to sleep....it is weird. He is so much more alert! Maybe next time he will be awake when Audrey visits. :) Hopefully we will see yall soon!
