crying & laughing at same time..what mean?

Not sure where to post this.  In the afternoons usually when i have my 15 week old baby in the playpen on on the bed next to me we usually have "talk time" where he makes noises and i "talk" back to him.  sometimes he is laughing/squealing and then he starts going eheheh like he is starting to cry and sometimes the mouth moves down into a pout.  is this a sign of overstimulation?  he will only do it sometimes and cry a little bit and then start laughing again.  yesterday he did it just before bath time ans after putting him in the bath he was ok.

Yes, I bet it is overstimulation.

I remember when Adrian was a little older, just started to walk and would start going around the corner laughing, the laugh would turn into a cry and by the time he completed the turn he was crying. We knew it was bedtime.

DD2 does that sometimes when dh is playing with her later in the day -- I think he's just a bit overwhelming when she's really tired.
