I believe there are Angels among us....
The other night I had an epiphany(sp?). I was sitting on the couch feeding the baby in the middle of the night, and it hit me. Olivia had finished part of her meal and was giving me some really cute smiles. She didn't quite look like she was looking at me though, so I had the thought that maybe she is seeing someone she knew in Heaven. I like to think that she got to know Grandpa Stahl a little while she was waiting to come to our family. She was smiling pretty big while she was staring at whatever or whomever she was seeing. Maybe the veil is a little thin at birth and thickens along with our skulls :) Maybe it isn't so much that we can't remember, but that it's a forgetting? :) Maybe those first smiles aren't just gas, huh? It's definately something to think about and until I find out otherwise, I'll just indulge myself and think that my baby actually did get a chance to meet her Grandpa. Just a thought.

I love that thought! :)
I totally believe that. I lost both of my grandpa's about 2 months before each of my last 2 kids were born and I know they were with them, that they spent time with them! I even asked my Grandad when he was going if he'd make sure my last got here safely and I really felt him with me through the end of my pregnancy. I think the veil is very thin when babies are born! It's such a neat thought to know that they were able to spend time with loved ones even if they won't remember it as they get older isn't it? :)
I always thought the same thing with my babies. They smile over my shoulder. I think they see things we can't. They are innocent, you know?
I would agree. When my niece was born almost 6 years ago, my sister-in-law had a picture hanging up of two angels. She would constantly stare at that picture. It was like in a world of strange things there was a least one thing that was familiar.
I totally believe that and always will! Both my boys have clearly been focused on something else when they were babies. Also, babies are just naturally drawn to light. I think we do remember some things and gradually forget. The veil is very thin for little ones. Even Dylan sometimes sees and does things that make me wonder...and he's almost 6.
