Holy Screaming

Wito is experiencing a shrieking phase. A major shrieking phase.

And not in an unhappy or bothered way, but in a blissful my-life-is-AWESOME kind of way. Time to eat? IIIEEEEEEYYYEEEEEEE! Time for a nap? IIIEEEYYYEEEEEEEEEEE! Time to play? IEEEYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE! Time for Music Together? IEEEYYYYEEEEEEEEE! Time for a walk? IEEEEYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!

You get the picture. At first, it was absolutely darling…the clasping of hands, the huge gummy grin, the excitement. But now, people, my ears hurt. The neighbors’ ears hurt. How can taking a nap be SO thrilling? As I type this, he is lying in his crib, shrieking with undeniable glee to the mobile.

I definitely do not have an emo baby.

I’ve added some shriek for your listening pleasure. It must be your lucky day.

    Am I a glutton for punishment? Because if I could watch a video of Wito shrieking? IIIEEEYYYEEEEEEEEEEE!

    Chirky, how about an audio file? I added one to the post. Enjoy. :)

    HAHA! I love it! Just think, he’ll be all ready to cheer on the Jayhawks- loud and proud.

    Sam had a phase like that, too. Isn’t it marvelous? Don’t worry, you will go deaf eventually and then it won’t hurt your ears.

    Oh the screaming. It doesn’t end. It just gets louder…and less happy. Oh, wait. I’m supposed to make you feel better and say things like, “The screaming will stop”

    But it doesn’t. Can I mail you some earplugs?

    Harrison finally stopped his screeching about 4 months of shrieking hell. I was that parent with the screechy baby that everyone scowls at. Have fun…hopefully it won’t last too long.

    Also, Music Together rocks!!

    Bwah! I find the audio clip darling. But I am very, very biased.

    Kid’s got chops, Whoorl. Sounds like he was simply singing along with the music you had on in the background. Perhaps you have a little rockstar on your hands!

    I don’t miss the shrieking that’s for sure. I hope it passes quickly for you. I do have a girlfriend that thought it was fun, so now at almost two her little girl shrieks so much J won’t play with her anymore.

    If I could squeal all day long, I’d probably do it too!

    What’s best about this shrieking phase is when they learn the blood-curdling, will-probably-get-hired-for-horror-movie-sound-effects scream. And then you hear that one when you least expect it. I’ll have to say, it unnerved me as a parent when my kids performed their vocal “stylings,” but it’s funnier than hell when my nieces and nephews scream like that.

    Thanks for the baby fix today. I needed it! :-)

    Wow. We have a shrieker over here, but hers isn’t quite as high-pitched. Good times.

    Ha! That is way too cute. I’m really impressed with his pitch. Hide the Whoorlgarita glasses so they don’t break!
