Talking at Night?

OK so DD did this around 15 months and it lasted a few weeks and I am assuming is related to her word explosion but has anyone else had this happening?

For the last week or so DD will wake up around 4 in the morning and just be happily talking to herself.  Babbling away in there for an hour or more.  Some days she has fallen back to sleep and others she babbled on and off in there from 430 till waketime.  She seems a little more tired but not horribly so and since she isn't upset I haven't gone in there. 

She is teething but has been for a month and has literally gotten one dose of advil just at bedtime for the past month so I don't think it is teething related. 

Naps have not changed.  We did just go on vacation and change daycares so she has had a ton of change recently but again, she doesn't seem upset, just AWAKE.  I just feel bad since she usually only did 10 hours at night anyway so now she is getting even less...

  • Haahaa, waffle.  Yeah, DD is just jabbering away in there, like full vocab and happy giggles, etc.

  • Ben wakes up and talks to his monkey nightly, it's becoming really funny now that his babbles are starting to make sense! Last night he was discussing "Kelly elly" who is his daycare teacher.

  • LOL, waffle. J will randomly wake up and speak his "sentences" and go right back to sleep. Latest examples being "Mama, Hi, Mama. Agull (which he says for bagel), or "Mar Mar, bye bye, Mar Mar, puppy". Mar Mar is our daycare gal, her name is Marlene. They have two little dogs at daycare. And then randomly he'll make animal noises, his latest is hooting like an owl, which is more like "who who" or "moo moo moo mooooooo". He'll throw in there "Teddy" he sleeps with his teddy bear.

    His sentences are starting to make more and more sense. I think we are in trouble...he loves to talk!!

  • Oh yeah her babbles make sense, or at least the words themselves do.  When we went through it at 15 months was when her vocabulary originally exploded and she literally would spend an hour or more a night yelling all the words she knew.  Like HI-YELLOW-BIKE-MAMA-NEIGHNEIGH-GOODBYE!  On crack, for days. 

    I already sleep with no monitor and her door shut.  And one earplug in.  My husband and I have a rule that if he hears her he pokes me because he can sleep through her babbling and I can't but he will wake if she cries. I just happen to get up at 430 for work and I hear her babbling away.

  • dd will randomly wake up sometimes and say "jake" or "cornee" (my nephew and niece) 
    but she'll fall back asleep, or rather, just say it in her sleep....
    she'll say mommy and daddy too sometimes....or there's the time she says go away...which is weird...

  • This has been going on forever at our house and is on full blast now.  Most nights she wakes up in the middle of the night and talks for hours.  Sometimes she cries and sometimes she screeches, but we don't go in because it's never a full on "help me" cry and we're not getting up to start the day at 3 AM.  She always goes back to sleep eventually but just sleeps slightly later after these episodes, so I know she's not getting all her sleep.  She has dark circles some days.  I do not think this is for us entirely about language because she often goes with a lot of uh ohs, which she has said for 6 months and she uses to get attention.  I am hoping that she does grow out of it, and I am a bit worried she is just needing less sleep.  Given the noisy tantrums she's been giving us at bedtime, I am starting to suspect she might need a later bedtime.  Little bro will be home from the NICU soon, so we'll see how she adjusts then.
