Random musings

There are certain things we can do when Aaron is in the right mood that will induce wonderful fits of giggling. Kissing his neck, tickling his ribs, pretending to eat his hands, making funny faces. But we've found that prolonged fits of laughing seem to bring on a case of hiccups in Aaron that can last for 10 minutes or longer. So we try to be careful now if he is giggling close to bedtime, not to overdo it since it is hard to put him to bed if he has the hiccups.

After 6 months, we've finally noticed that Aaron's hair is starting to fall out. There were many predictions that it would fall out, but
when we passed the 3-4 month mark with a full head of hair, I thought we were past the danger zone. But slowly I noticed it getting thinner in the back on the sides and now I see the hairs collecting on his changing pad and in his crib. It also seems like it might be thinning out on top. After 6 months, we are really going to miss it if it all falls out.

Now that Aaron's teeth are really poking through his gums, he has taken to sticking his finger in his mouth to play with them. At least that is what it seems like. Sometimes, he sticks a finger in the side of his mouth and fusses, making me think he has more teeth on the way, but other times, he just kind of plays with the front teeth.

Aaron is also really starting to notice things and tries to reach out and grab anything in reach. I was holding him in the kitchen the other day to prepare some cereal for him, and he was reaching out and touching the knives in the knife block. He's going to be trouble, I can tell.
