While anything is possible, keep in mind he could just as easily be smiling and talking to the window or the wall or.. anything else he sees that he finds interesting.

My son used to look at "nothing " and smile when he was 1 and below. I personally think he was seeing angels. I believe in God & think angels are watching over our children. He is now 2 1/2 and I never really see him looking or reacting to "nothing". Just my 2 cents.

I have a 12 month old. He does that all the time. He waves at the wall or door and sometimes smiles and waves at nothing at all. It may be their imagination or really could be many things, their minds are very free and maybe they can see things we don't see after all. I have heard it is normal.

it very well could be your g-pa or aunt. children and animals see things that we adults don't. I am a firm believer in this kind of things.

I think it is just something that they do. My 7 month old loves to sit in his exersaucer, face the wall, and babble smile and giggle. I don't think he sees anything, because my older son did it as well. What can I say - boys are silly. :)

The same thing happens with my 17 month old. I belive that our loved ones that have past visit so I think the same thing that my son is visting with a past relative. It use to scare me but nothing bad has ever happened so I try to think positive.

It is always comforting to feel the love and support of our loved ones even after they have passed away. However, in this case, I bet your little boy is just talking to himself. Most little children are always entertaining themselves in their imaginative minds and that's why they love action figures and barbies so much. Those toys and their many thoughts can come to life very easily and bring them much joy. Our children used to lay in bed and just talk to toys and themselves until they fell asleep. We used to joke and would know that when they stopped talking, they were asleep.

When my mother passed away (we were very close), I felt her presence for about a year. My little dog would stare at something she was seeing, and I would feel Mom was there. Maybe your aunt is just wanting to check on you, too, and your son is able to see her. If so, I think it will pass.
Don't be worried about it. It is a special gift!

Right after Mom died, I also heard her very clearly say, "I'm alright" and "it's beautiful".

I think it's possible he is seeing 'something'. After my brother-in-law passed away, my daughter told us she was still talking to him (she was 3 or 4 at the time). We asked her if Uncle Alan talked to her often and she said 'sometimes' he would come talk to her. Of course, she's 16 now and doesn't remember any of it.
After my dad passed away, my little one was 4. She too would tell us she saw Papa at Nana's house and they would talk. She says she remembers the situations, but not what they spoke about or where in the house she saw him. She's 11 now.
I believe it - I know it sounds crazy. But at that age, where would they get the idea to make up seeing deceased family?
I wouldn't worry too much...my girls outgrew 'seeing dead people'. It sounds crass, but that's the only way I can explain it.
Good luck & God Bless!
