Is screaming normal?

I have a nine month old daughter who has recently started randomly screaming. It's mostly when she's at the grocery store in her carrier, but she occasionally does it at home in her play pen. It's really embarrassing at the store because nothing will make her stop other than taking her out and carrying her around. She kind of throws little fits screaming and kicking her legs. Is this normal? I know she wants out of her carrier but she seems to get soo frustrated.

Normal.  It gets even more fun when they're toddlers and can run away while they do it :)

Maybe she doesn't like the carrier anymore. DS loves to sit in the front of the cart.

This. Also, my son screams just to hear his own voice sometimes. He screams so loud that he gets startled then I start laughing and he starts laughing!

Hope it's normal. My nine month old does the same thing. He likes to hear the sound of his own voice. He also likes to shout dadadadada as loud as he can and fake cough... That one is fun when we are with people with kids. I find myself constantly reassuring other parents that he is definitely not sick.

Not for nothing, but DD2 hasn't fit in her carrier since she was about 5-6 months old. I only ever folded her up into it when we were in the car. As soon as she was able to stay sitting up on her own, she was in the front of the cart at the grocery store, or in a double stroller with her sister. They often like to shriek to hear themselves, but if she is throwing a fit, I'd bet the farm she is frustrated with laying on her back while stuff is happening around her that she can't see. Congratulations, you have a normal, inquisitive infant.

My LO does the cough too but I like to say really loud "don't worry, it's only whooping cough". Probably not appropriate but I think it's funny!

Hahahaha I would find something like that totally funny because I'm a sarcastic person, but my friends are super hypochondriacs who would probably call the health department on me lol.

I'm so glad my kid isn't the only one that fake coughs! Dd will look a stranger right in the eye and cough, it cracks me up but I'm sure the stranger doesn't think it's cute lol. She also likes to imitate a siren in the middle of the grocery store. I distract her with something like a cracker and she stops.

DS and DD just started doing this too! They laugh at each other when they do this, and it gets louder and louder.
