Parker Squeals

Parker has found her lungs. Lately, when she's in the mood, she will squeal just as loud as she can, just to hear herself. It's very funny. Although, when she mixes it with her fake cry when she doesn't want to go to bed, it sounds like she could be in real trouble. It makes you wonder if maybe she accidentally chewed her finger off; she does gnaw on it constantly...

So, yesterday she was waking up from a nap in her crib. Sometimes she wakes up happy and cooing, sometimes she wakes up crying and takes a minute to open her eyes and be happy. This time, it was the latter. When I got to her room, she still wasn't quite awake and was letting out a couple of half-hearted sobs. Since she hadn't opened her eyes yet, I put my face right down in the crib next to hers. I said softly, "wake up Baby." With that, she slowly opened her eyes and suddenly _squeeeeealed_ happily. I don't know if I scared her, if she was happy to see me, or if she knew what I was doing the whole time and wanted to try to surprise me.
