My 12 month old has never woken either from nap, or for morning, in a good mood - happily, quiet, singing, blabbing, sitting, etc. She is always screaming and crying the moment she wakes up until we get her and hold her for a few minutes....
My first child was not like this at all, she would be quiet or blabbing for at least a few minutes, if not longer...
What gives? Any other baby like this?
Re: 12 month old has never woken up happy/content/quiet!!!
My 1st instinct is personality. Although the pp about crib activities makes sense too. Also were the LO is in development.
My DD takes after DH and is easy going. I think about if #2 (should we be so lucky) took after me I'd reply to your post with a resounding "same here".

Journey Complete.
my younger daughter (now 19 months) was like that until recently. she is extremely happy just woke up crying, etc.
She now is learning to play on her own , etc. and she now wakes up talking or playing.
This was my son at 12 months as well. Now, sometimes he's happy but other times he screams when he wakes. We try bringing different stuffed animals in to say "hello" when he first wakes. Or just bringing him over to the window to look out. He's just kind of a grumpy little guy when he first wakes. But otherwise, he's a happy kid.
