Sleep-babbling is possibly the cutest thing ever

Happy/Funny

My husband sleep-talks. Sometimes it's total nonsense in the middle of the night, and sometimes he responds/reacts to me and has no recollection of it in the morning.

Our baby is 11 months old.

Last week, I had to blow my nose in the middle of the night and in my extremely sleep-deprived sleepy state, I decided to do it in the bedroom (not smart, I'm aware).

My husband startles and asks, "What are you doing?!"

He sounds super angry (he's the kindest, sweetest, best husband ever), which makes me laugh (again, sleep-deprived).

Our baby, who sleeps in a completely empty playpen next to us, sits up in her sleep-sack and looks around.

"Ka-wa wa-wa-wa-WA-WA-WA-ka-ka-ka."

Little pause.

"Adoooo-daaaa ba-ba-WA-WA-WA-KA Ka-ka-em-me-me-me."

Looks around.

"Ada-ka-ka wa-ba-ba ka-WA-WA-WA-WA-WA."

After which she faceplants into the mattress and continues sleeping peacefully.

I stifle my laughter into my pillow before looking at my husband to see if he's also amused, except he's sleeping, too.

But it was adorable, and my husband was sad that he remembered none of this in the morning.
