WAAAAAHHHHHH!!

This video is so cool. It helps parents determine what their crying babies want. I watched it yesterday, and since then have been paying special attention to the sounds Maya makes when she cries. It wasn't 100%, but for the most part the sounds she made were consistent with what the lady here says she wanted. I wish I had seen this two months ago! It's pretty cool because the lady who analyzed the cries, Priscilla Dunston, has a photographic memory for sound. She figured it all out listening to her own baby cry, and then did studies on other babies and determined that there were commonalities in the sounds babies make. Check it out. Especially you moms. Skip ahead to the one minute mark for the meat and potatoes.

You can actually purchase a DVD that goes into more detail. Here's a bit of that video.
