Ours Goes to 11

We live in a two-story house. The baby monitor is upstairs in our bedroom (since that's usually where the Doodlebug sleeps) and the receiver is downstairs in the living room. Our formerly softly mewling child is now so loud that we had him in the living room while we were trying to quiet his screams, and his cries still registered on the monitor as if he were in the upstairs bedroom. That's loud.
