Myles fakes a cough. Often and well. Okay, he doesn't anymore, but he went through a 3 week phase of nonstop coughing. It started off real. He had a bad bout of teething-drool-aggravated reflux and it was making him cough until we upped the dosage. However, he became quite enamored with his ability to make this sound. He performed for Pam when she came. We all paused for the cause - everyone was concerned for his health, but it became apparent quickly that these cough were purely recreational. Like this, "ahem, aheh, aheh, aheh."
I didn't realize this is a common developmental phenomena until Pam and I were on the phone a couple of days ago when it popped up in a March birth month forum. Then Pam googled it and we found tons of hilarious posts about babies and fake coughs. I met a baby today that fake hiccups too!
