The fake cry

Only 9 months old and the attempts at manipulation have begun...Jackson has figured out the fake cry. Unfortunately for him, so have his parents. For example, he always wants whatever mom has. I was drinking some water the other day and he came over and started moaning for some out of my straw. I obliged him happily, but after a few minutes, it was getting a little tiring, so I stopped.


And fake meltdown begins with some whining and screwy faces...

Full fake meltdown consists of dropping to the floor and closing eyes just enough so that he can still peak out to see if we are buying it and then scrunching up the rest of his face to make it look real, and then some really fake crying that sounds sort of like "ahhhhhhh, ahhhh"...you get the idea.
