Fake Cough?

Okay I guess "fake" isn't the right word because it is a cough, but it seems like S recently started coughing intentionally. I'm not positive, but she does this "I think I've got the black lung, pop" Zoolander cough now and looks at me and smiles after. I think its mainly a new "sound" she discovered, but it seems so intentional! Like she knows that I'm going to go over to her and pat her back when she does it. Is anyone elses LO doing this?

Emery started doing the attention cough recently. Its mostly when she doesnt want something, like tummy time.

Its normal, I read it in the What To Expect book.
