Squealing

Cooper squealed, unmistakeably, this morning.

Matt was playing with him upstairs while I got some work done and I heard this loud "Yeeeee!!!!" that was sort of like a cry but different. Matt reported later that it was a squeal of glee. Awesome!

Cooper is so expressive with his sounds. We love it! His new sound vocabulary such an amazing improvement over the incredibly loud crying that he used as a catch-all for the first month. Now he's got all these funny noises and different sounds and cries that mean different things. Sad/lonely cry, hungry/impatient cry, really upset cry, exhausted and crabby cry, happy coos, excited vowel sounds, and now super excited squeals. I gotta say it is much, much easier to keep him happy (and us happy) now that he can communicate his basic state through sounds.
