What Do Three Week Old Babies Dream Of?

He's almost through his third week and already Okoree's starting to shape up his own personality. We're figuring out everyday what he likes and what he's not particularly fond of. Little habits he's forming. How he likes to be held. The calming effect water has on him.

My best so far is watching him dream. He gets through many emotions that can easily be read of his little face. Ranging from smiling, smirking, frowning to full-on angry in the space of seconds.

It's all well to read about infants and foetuses dreaming but it's a whole different feeling watching your own little boy do it.

Of course the ability to dream also comes with the ability to have nightmares. He's woken up in a startle [without any loud noises setting him off] and started crying a few times while sleeping on my chest.

You really gotta wonder though, what sort of nightmare could a 3-week old have? I suspect it's to do with breast milk running out but my boss has a theory he's reliving his circumcision.

Anyone else got any other suggestions? Now would be a good time for me to work on my baby-talk interpretor prototype I have lying around.

Deep in thought
