Fake cough

vibarra27 · May 2016

Is anyone elses baby doing this?

One of my boys started doing this to get my attention. Ill walk by while they're playing & he'll start forcing himself to cough. I think its hilarious. Once he sees im going to grab him he stops. If i dont grab him he'll keep doing it until im out of sight. Smart boy i say, smart boy lol.

Haha we have a fake cougher too! He also does it when we aren't paying attention and when we look he'll smile so big.

The attention cough!!

Both of mine do this, but, to be fair, DH and I have been sick with colds a lot this year and my dad (who watches the kids) has a permanent cough. It's kind of cute. DD#2 also fake burps.

Yes!

Oh my god. It's fake! Kid is perfectly healthy and always coughing! Unless he is genuinely coughing because he swallows all that drool from teething...

My attention seeker too

@lmbrant thats funny

@TeacherMom210 how cute fake burp!

@jweber4747 i know what you mean! Sometimes he tries so hard he starts coughing for real because he dries out his throat lol.

We have the fake cough every once in a while but now he is doing this noise... "uuhhhhh" kind of like gasping when startled or like someone scares you? Soooo not funny! But I know we did it ha we would do peek a boo with him and do that noise when we popped back into his view haha now he thinks its funny and does it. At first I thought maybe he was having issues breathing but... nope.. its a game ha

@ABombard12 im telling you! Kids are smart. Hes probably thinking, "now i get to drive them crazy the way they tried to scare me! Muahahaha!" lol jk

My other son started yelling when someone on tv was yelling 2 months ago. Now he does it @ random times & scares the crap outta me

ABombard12 · May 2016

haha they are WAYYY too smart! This is the point we need to start watching our swearing --- his next word is going to be a bad one (thanks to my DH)! Then we will be in trouble.... "mamamamama S@*t!!
