Walker learned two new words last week: uh and oh. "Uh oh!" is heard throughout our house as he drops things, and generally makes observations about the world around him. He's also crawling like a madman. He started a week and a half ago. I was here to see the first steps...or crawls, whatever it's called. Now he zooms all over the house--unless he wants to be held. Then he sits , looks at you, and puts his hands up in the air (halfway). He also has developed a deathly scream. It sounds something like the death shrill of the birds in the Uncle Scrooge comic book that broke Scrooge's glass moneybin; or for those who have never read a Carl Barks comic book, it sounds something like some exotic bird in the jungle--the sub Saharan African TeeKah, or something like that--that has a high-pitched shrill which was thought to never be repeatable by human vocal chords, giving its highest shrill while in labor having twins. When Walker calls, we've learned to come--or be deaf for the next hour.

I'm trying to think, could those birds in the Scrooge McDuck comic book have been Harpeys?
Sorry for your ears, but Walker is certainly adorable!!
I can't remember the names--but the description seems to fit, from what I can hear.
Atleast you only have one screamer in your house. We have two. If Evelyn touches ANYTHING remotely resembling Bradley's, it's a shrill scream along with "NO! MINE!" That generally makes Evelyn to start to cry. So, yes. We have two screamers in our household. Sometimes I am tempted to join in to make three.
