A Princess Rufflebutt Progress Report

She's at that point when she must be held all the time. If she is not held, she screeches at the top of her lungs, drowning out any chance of conversation. This cacophony almost always starts out as cute random warblings. Then she begins to shout, as if trying out her voice. By this time it's quite loud, but you've heard nothing yet. She then starts a siren wail, like a singer working out with her voice-lesson warm ups. She does this without a trace of sadness or discomfort so it's still cute and funny, even if a little annoying. If she hasn't been picked up by this time, her cries become edged with anger.

How do babies know if they're being held standing up, or sitting down? They don't seem to like the latter, as it gives the person doing the holding a little comfort. Can't have that now.
