Have you ever considered the possibility of demons inhabiting your child and that’s what makes them cry at glass-shattering decibels?
I mentioned how Avery has started to really “hit the high notes” in my 7 Memories post (it was the bonus memory, number 8), and she’s only getting louder. Why oh why do they do this?
That’s a rhetorical question, please don’t actually answer.
Unless you know for sure…..do you?
She’s in the prime age for teething and both Going Mom and I are confident that this, coupled with her increasing neediness, are the culprits. But, you can never rule out the possibility of demon possession; right?
How else can you explain having a baby with all of their needs met, but the instant you even think about setting them down, they begin their shrill, demon-like cries?
Luckily, we are loving parents and show her our love regardless of demon possession or not. But I wonder if when I’m feeding a bottle, if I’m feeding my baby or a demon.
Gives me goosebumps. Poor girl, she’s going to hate me posting this all over the internet, but I capture raw footage of possible demon possession in Avery. Watch it and let me know what you think?

Maybe blowing raspberries really is the best way to remove demons and that’s the actual reason babies do it on a daily basis. Hey, maybe.
So, Demon, if you’re reading this, please leave our daughter and go with your demon friends elsewhere. We don’t like your kind around here; consider this your one and only warning.

Separation anxiety? Our son only screams like that if I leave him alone for more than 30 seconds. His teething pain noise is really more of a low grade whine, letting us know that he’s upset.
Hmmm, maybe it is anxiety, but hopefully not. She’ll do it even when we are in the same room; hence me behind the camera. I guess she needs to feel our contact by being held, because once we pick her up, it’s back to raspberries and smiles.
Good to know about the sound to look for with teething pain; I think we hear that type of whine too! Thanks, Kelly!
Hmm I have some videos of you just like that. Love you!
Oh yes, I remember watching them and have a feeling I will watch again soon. Love you too!
I’m watching your video and don’t know whether to laugh or cry! Actually given the circumstances I suppose I shouldn’t cry – that’s Avery’s prerogative!
I must admit that for my second child I took to wearing ear muffs (the sound defender type, not pink fluffy ones!) in the bathroom when I was changing the nappy. The piercing screams were too painful off the tiled wall!
And whilst I’m at the confessional, I should also admit that I’ve recorded my first daughter when she was “doing the siren cry” and use it as a ringtone – you can guarantee that I’ll always answer my phone when it rings…that’s one way I can stop the crying!
Ha ha, at first I wanted to cry, but I find myself laughing more as the time passes. She usually doesn’t even shed a tear the whole time she’s wailing. I have some heavy duty ear muffs for use at the gun range, maybe I should start using those!
I like that you have your daughter’s cry as a ringtone; excellent idea! And yes, I’d take pleasure in the fact that I have power to make it stop too!
Thanks for the comments and sharing your story, Paul!
