That's pretty normal.  At 16 months the brain is developing so they probably have dreams.  You can go in there to comfort them or read to them to calm them down, but you need to be firm after that and let them know it's time to go back to bed.  If you have to let them cry it out then do so.  This worked for my son and he's over 2 years old now and only wakes up every once in a blue moon.

Just ignore them until it's time for you to get up. If you do it for about a week, it should knock them out of that habit of thinking just because they cry Mommy gets up. They're old enough now they don't need to eat or drink at night. My 7 month old goes from about 4am to 12pm without making a fuss, even if he does wake up because he knows there's no point in crying. I feed him when I go in there on MY schedule, not his.
