How To Know When He Is Hungry...

(Imagine following scene. Your beloved Baby is laying in his playpen, content and playing. He had a good night, and his tummy is taking the carrot-potato try from yesterday well. So all is good.)

Baby: Gwaaaaa, grrrrlll, hwwwwwwt....
Mom: Hello Little One you sound like you are having fun...
Baby: Grrrrraaaaaaaaa....hmmmmm
Mom: Oh, oh, hmmm.... what's wrong, do you need your toy back? Here.
Baby: Gwaaaaa, hwwwwwwt, groooooblblblb.....
Mom: Ah, that was it, you sound happy again.

10 minutes later:

Baby: Groooblblbl, hmmmmm.... hhhhmmmmmmmmm....... hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Mom: Uh, everythign OK? Do you want to cuddle for a bit? Come here, we'll play "tickle the Baby" on the couch.

Mom is picking up the Baby, proceeds to the couch and tickles Baby's tummy until Baby laughs out loud...

Baby: Heeeeheeeeewwlll, heheheheeeeee, squeal, squeal, hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Mom: Hhhmmmmm? But we where having fun.... let me see your cute little face....
Baby: Waaaaahhh.....
Mom: Oh, the corners of your mouth are moving downwards..... the lower lip is quivering....
Baby: Wahhhhh, wahhhh, wahhhhh, hhhhmmmmmm, whaaaa! Daaaabbbaaaa wahhhh!
Mom: Are you hungry? Darn, how long ago was the last bottle?
Baby: Wahhhhhhhhhhh, wahhhhhhhhh!

At this particular point tears start to flow. He's hungry, and nothing and nobody but a fast room service can save the situation now. Mom is putting Baby in the playpen and runs for the kitchen. The angry screams get desperate.... but the bottle is still too warm.... precious seconds are lost.

Baby: Wahhhhhh, hhhmmmmm, sniff blagg, hmmmmmmm....
Mom: Here little guy, hold still so that I can put the nunny in your mouth... no, hold still you can't eat with your nose!
Baby: Waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... mhmhmhmhmh

Silence, mid scream. Only the sucking and occasional mh mh is left, the situation is resolved.
