Ahem!
Liam has attained another star on the developmental milestone chart. The much acclaimed fake cough stage. Look away from him for only a second and you'll hear this ridiculous cah-cah-cah-cah-cah-cah! noise. One look and it's grinning baby again. Once in a while it's the fake laugh ha-ha-ha, but usually the fake cough.
Of course I'm reinforcing the behaviour by looking at him and laughing pretty well every time he does it, but how can I not. My baby is using a form of communication OTHER THAN CRYING to get my attention. I'll take the incredibly transparent faking of a biological need over the awful crying or squawky baby anyday. So, cough on Master Liam, you have my complete attention.
He's also mastered the imitation of a tea kettle to tell me when he's tired. Remember when I wanted a kid display to figure out when my baby was ready to meltdown, well I guess I kinda got my wish.
