Our little screamer

So now at 4 months old, Mattimeo has discovered that he can make his voice really loud, and he loves it. At first, we thought it was so cute when he would scream. I hate to admit it, but we actually encouraged it! Now, however, all he wants to do is scream! He loves to make his voice as loud as possible! It is pretty cute, but it also kind of makes my head hurt. The Grinch would certainly not approve...

 ...And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!

That's one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!

(How the Grinch stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss)

We saw some good friends that we hadn't seen in over a month today, and of course Meo was screaming the whole time. We tried to tell them that he really doesn't just scream all the time, and that this is just a new thing he is trying out since he's discovered how to make his voice really loud. I hope they believe me and they don't think this is what having a baby in the house is like! At least, I hope this is just a phase! Oh little Meo, you are a constant source of entertainment, how I love you.

Here are some videos of Meo's new loud voice for you to enjoy. You may want to turn the volume down a tad...
