sounds of a baby

Magnus is a very vocal guy.  Aside from the requisite wail (trust us - he's got good lungs) there are a number of sounds he makes that can only be described by their animal equivalents.  Here's a sample:
  • the sheep - when he's really upset he gets going in a continuous "baaa-aaa-aaaa"
  • the goat - slightly less upset (pre-sheep); sounds like  braying goat
  • lambie - a quieter, milk protest of discomfort
  • the deer - at night, I wake up to deer snorts (short, abrupt exhales, almost like a cough) = "I'm hungry!"
  • the donkey - Magnus is a very noisy eater. He makes a crazy "hee-haw" as he inhales and exhales and gobbles his milk.
  • an elephant - we've not figured out the meaning, but he's occasionally made an elephant trumpet
  • the cat - early on (less so now that he's "grown up") he made lots of little soft mews like a cat
  • the dog - there were also some good doggie barks in there but those seem to have dissipated lately
  • the mouse squeek - high pitched squeal; on second thought it's more of a pig perhaps
