It's still quite a bit of a struggle to get him to giggle but when he finally does, oh my goodness it's the happiest, most beautiful sound in the world!
I really think he's ready for solid food but Daddy is still in denial and doesn't want him to. I'm fine with waiting either way.
He's been lunging forward to get to our food or anything he wants to get to. He's quickly learning that he can get to something if he squirms and kicks enough.
Zayden has learned to hold our fingers and pull them into his mouth to suck on. Recently, he has started to bite down hard on them, too. Ouch! When I noticed that he wasn't just sucking anymore, I gave him his elephant teether. He loves his elephant! The ears are his favorite part! It's a perfect fit for his little mouth. So now I guess he's teething, too!
He has started to sit up a little bit but he falls backward quick.
Zayden has grown out of his 0-3 months clothes last month and started wearing 3-6 months clothes already so Zayden and I will have to ease Daddy into the solid food.
We also finally got rid of his yeast infection. The rolls man! He sweats so much and his neck was the worst ever. We had thought it would last until around 6 months when he lifts his head more so it's exposed and the sweat dries up, but since he's been lifting his head since he was 2 months old, he's able to lift his head like pro now. He has even learned to use the weight of his head to help him topple over to move from his tummy to his back!
Two weeks into his 3rd month, Zayden learned to roll over from belly to back and lucky Mommy got to capture it on video!
My little monster has begun to pull my hair out, too...hooray! See the evidence yourself.
I wonder if he's going to grow up liking girls with long hair like his brother. I think his brother likes girls with long hair because when he was a baby he used to love grabbing hold of my hair and pulling them out, just like he's doing now.
We have the Texas-Oklahoma fair in September so we got to go to the fair with a 4th member to our family for the first time!
Zayden enjoyed the bright lights and loud music. He has always been very alert and observant so he was took in the experience of the sights and sounds very well.
While we were at Lowe's to get Daddy's new grill, Zayden started to play with the toys on his car seat. It's no longer just eye candy! It was amazing to see how how focused he was on trying to figure out the "thing" in front of him. His eyes would grow wider and wider as he played with his toys and discovering new sounds and movements his toys could do. Zenon was so happy seeing his brother start to play with toys. I think he took it as a sign that his brother will be capable of playing with him soon!
We started singing his name to him to the tune of "Ice, Ice Baby", for some weird reason and he loves it. He's quite the vain baby.
Unfortunately, he has stopped copying us and has refused to say "Hi", "Hello" and especially "I love you" which took us so much longer to have him say. He has moved forward to his own version of baby rambling which is also very, very amusing. He responds to you when you talk to him and waits for you to be done before he "talks" again. I think he's understands how a conversation goes!
This month he has earned the following nicknames:
"Slobber Monster"
"Mr. Giggly Butt"
"Elephantvore"
