So, often when I feed or hold Jackson, he stares over my shoulder (at the wall) or up the stairwell intently, and his eyes dart backwards and forwards like he is watching something.
Lately he has been saving his very best grins for the blank wall over my shoulder, and the stairwell. He smiles madly away. It's kind of freaking me out! Ha ha!! Anyone else's bubs see things that aren't even there?!? |

Michaela used to do that. One time when she was absolutely screaming her lungs out during a nappy change DH asked her "where's Grandad" and she quitened down, stared towards the far wall and started smiling (DH's Dad died when he was 3yo). -------------

i had some weird lady ask me if noah does that. then she said that he sees alot more then the ordinary person. i was just like um ok then. shes all into crystle healing and that kind of thing.
Though i do like to think he shares a special bond with his uncle who passed away 18 years ago as he was born on his birthday. |

Leah has done it to DH, she started pointing to the corner of the room saying gran, and thats what he used to call his grandmother who died 3 years ago in England. Freaked him out totally, she done it a few times but not for a while now. -------------

Daniel is a simple being - he doesn't see people but he just loves walls and ceilings. The phase is passing though, which is nice! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Jaymie has always had what I call her 'ceiling angels'. She stares up at the ceiling and points and giggles. ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

LOL! Caden does that aswell, I used to think "umm what are you looking at!"
It is rather freaky at times, but my MW told me that babies are attracted to big white or black spaces, so thats why they stare at walls and stuff. ETA-But then, when you think about it, EVERYTHINGS is interesting to babies, Caden finds a shadow awesome and he smiles at the TV and pictures on the wall, and if there is a fly in the room he will follow it with his eyes. I cant say I really believe in them seeing ghosts and stuff... ------------- |

Kade was sitting on my lap in bed today and was staring at our lamp and smiling away like it was the best invention ever. Everything is new to our little bubs so im presuming thats why they stare and smile. He also loves the painting on our wall. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My darling friend died 3 weeks after her daughter was born (blood clot at 23 ) in June last year
Her daughter is now one and a half and doesnt do it so much, but when she was little her eyes would always find the spot my friend used to stand and look out the window , This spot was also good for when she was crying , all you had to do was go into the lounge and she would spot and listen to...whatever, and a big smile would come over her face . I totally believe her mum was there with her watching over her (and still is ) because I knew my friend well , and I know death would be no distance for her looking over her girl  -------------

Cian does this too - and I'd love to know what's going on!! DH's Dad died when he was 14 and I'm sure he's been here since the birth keeping an eye on his first grandson... cool feeling. Cian was also born on the anniversary of my grandpa's death so don't know if he's hanging around too! ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

It's nice to think that may be what it is about... but gives me the chills a bit too. But, I figure as long as he's smiling, it's got to be all good right?!
I've had several unexplainable (one horrible one) experiences in my life so I do think these things are possible. Reminds me of when my sister was little. She had an "invisible friend" and would have these amazing conversations and, I never saw how could be so one-sided. Either she was really smart and having one half in her head, or she was talking to someone we could't hear. She'd even fight with her!! |

My stepdad passed away in the loungeroom of our house 6 years ago, Daniel often crawls over to a picture of him and my mum and smiles. He'll be playing away and just stop and crawl to the table with the pics on it. Mum believes Rob is talking to him, I used to just think he liked all the photos - now it makes me wonder at times :) When he was tiny he used to smile up at the lights (we used to call them boob lights coz they kinda looked like boobs) |

Ok when I first read this thread I thought, how weird, but then it happened to me. The other morning I was feeding DS in our bedroom and he kept staring past the boob at the wall and it took me ages to distract him and get him going, then when I put him on m shoulder to burp him he did this huuuuuge smile and a bit of a giggle, which was a bit of a first and I was thinking now just who is that for....... bizaare. -------------

Not sure if I believe the ghosty thing but Hayden always stares at a particular spot in our new house, DH laughs and asks bubs if he can see dead people like that movie Sixth Sense. -------------

Lol so true Sheena. Harry used to grin at random stuff, or just stare at a patch on the ceiling. DH used to say "can you see Jesus?" (joking), and he used to just keep staring. Was cute. And in my plunket book, from when I was a few months old, it says "Smiles at doorhandles". No kidding! Why the plunket nurse wrote that I do not know, but it obviously happened regularly enough for it to be recorded forever in my plunket book! ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Micah stares at "things" too. I like to think that it is DH's Nana and Grandad. So I often talk out loud to them. Sometimes it is a bit creepy feeling, like in the middle of the night when I am alone, but then again, they are looking over my shoulder, protecting us all :) ------------- formerly known as "Bee" Ethan ~ March 2003 Big 6 year old school boy!
