Aaron started laughing a couple weeks ago, but only recently did Thom find a way to get Aaron to laugh pretty consistently. You have to kiss his cheek just under the ear so that your jaw is against his shoulder. If you don't get it just right, there are no giggles, but you still get big smiles.
I took this short video after Thom had been getting Aaron to laugh for a couple of minutes, so towards the end, you can see that Aaron is getting close to melt down from over stimulation. Oddly, he seems to be happiest just before he is ready to go to sleep, so he quickly goes from smiling and laughing to fussing and crying. (I guess this is the same for all babies, but it still puzzles me.)
