Do you believe that babies can see their angel?

When I was little my grandmother told me that my baby cousin was talking to her guardian angel because she was looking at nothing really but enjoying it quite a lot. Since that time I have noticed the same behavior in my children when they were very young. Earlier this evening my two month old granddaughter was having a wonderful time while laying on my lap looking past my head at the top of the back of the couch. She was smiling so big and waving her arms all around and I told my grandson, who is two, that she was talking to her angel. Apparently he didn't like that much because he told the angel to "Get!". Has anyone else ever heard of this?

Yes I do. I think babies can see things from a different perspective. I think it is the gift that comes with innocence. As we age and become more jaded we lose this gift. But if we pay attention our babies will let us know when an angel is near.

I am a firm believer that animals and children are VERY capable of seeing spirits...Reason being IMO is because they havent been tainted by society and the elders in their lives and of course in the case of animals they never will be...The "sight" of both animals and children is totally pure, a clean and clear window....Its a true shame that as we get older that window becomes dirty and clouded by the hands of others ya know

My youngest boy did this for a very long time as he grew up through his todler years till he started school. My wife was kind of freaked out by it and it scared her and when I would try and talk to him about it she would get upset and didnt want me to ask him anything.

hmm yeah i saw that with my younger bro... he was born when i was 10 years old. So i was quite aware already of what's happening... then i would often see him smiling and laughing alot alone... staring at nothing. my mom too says, he is talking to his guardian angel or his guardian angel is playing with his guardian angel. hehhehe it happened many times but as he got older it started to dwindle.

This still scares me! LOL!! Not only did my daughter do this but my cats as well. I never heard that is was their guardian angel just that babies and animals are more aware of "other" things around us that we may not be able to see. It still bothers me with my cats so I will do everything to get their attention!

My grandparents and mother would always same the same thing... babies can see their guardian angel... and most of the time... these angels are the ones responsible for saving babies during times of trouble... there are a lot of times when i would see my baby just looking somewhere... and laughing or as if talking to someone... so i just assume that she is talking to her angel...

Yup I have heard that to and believe it. I have a month and a half old baby and she is always looking at something that we can not see. I had always heard when a baby smiles while doing this then they are playing with the angels.

I have witnessed this in a few babies during my nanny stint, and the odd thing is that usually when the baby in question was doing this the family pet would be looking in the exact same area. I tend to think of fairies rather than angels, but the concept is the same, and is definitely true in my experience.
