Atticus is in the screaming phase. I wish I could catch it on video but usually I'm either ignoring it, comforting Walter or saying, "no, no" while he continues screaming. It is very shrill. It's more like shrieking. This whole thing is odd because he is such a chill little fella. I remember Marley going through it but Biggun is just SO STINKIN' LOUD. I remember Marley's being more like, "Hey! I have a voice. I wanna hear it!"  Atticus's is more like,(read this with a slow husky growly voice)  "Hey! FEED ME NOW. PLAY WITH ME. HOLD ME. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SLEEPPPPPP....I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU MISERABLE UNTIL YOU PICK ME UP...THEN I'M GOING TO STOP AND CHUCKLE. DADDY, I'VE BROKEN YOU...NOW LET'S SEE IF MAMA WILL CRACK...NO? HOW ABOUT I GET LOUDER, WITH MORE EMPHASIS AND TEARS?"  He's rebellious and a charmer all at the same time. He's really cute. As hard as it is to have my neck and jaw muscle tense up and my head have an isolated stabbing pain, I am enjoying this little booger with his funny personality, screaming and all.

I mean, look at that face...
