signs of sleepiness?

So what are your baby's signs that s/he is sleepy?

I just noticed a new one... his eyebrows start glowing red. (Okay it's actually the skin behind his eyebrows that turns red, but since none of the other areas around his eyes do it, and his hair covers it, it has a strange iridescent quality.)

rubbing of the eyes was a big one for both of my kids...
My ds will rub his eyes and yawn.

Also, if he is crabby for what seems like no reason (fed, clean pants, being held), he is usually sleepy and I start the "relax and go to sleep" routine. He's usually out within 10 minutes.

rubs his right eye... a lot. Has done this since he was born. Fussy cry, tired cranky with me... wants to be held and carried around.
we have a new one... mumbling while latched on. it's pretty funny!
nak

squeezing his ears and cheeks and all out screaming if he is overtired...so I try to avoid letting that happen!

This happens to ds too!
as well as the ear grabbing, the eye rubbing, and he also does this thing where he scratches the back of his head. Oh and I cant forget the mood swings, complete with histerical(sp?) laughter.
