Marc is 5 months old and we're quite sure he's a socialite. This is a picture of the first girl we tried to matchmake him to. She's a 3 month old baby who happenned to be at a friend's chinese new year celebration. He wasn't interested, which didn't surprise us cos he loves older women. He did however become EXTREMELY talkative during Chinese new year. After reunion dinner at the in laws place, Marc started babbling really loudly. He kept this up at the top of his voice for half an hour non stop - which really surprised us because he sleeps really early at home. He's never spent that much time among a large group people before and he loved the attention. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps he cries at home not from tiredness but from sheer boredom.
He's become a proficient flipper so he spends most of his time now flipping from the mat to the floor. We leave him there if he's not eating off it, but we really need to get a playpen or something similar soon.
He's also eating everything. He ate every red packet he received and we told our friends its his way of determining how much money it contains.
The Husband and I are contemplating going away alone for a short while as my parents will be visiting us for a few weeks. They miss Marc heaps and are more than happy to have him all to themselves. Honestly, taking time off work to NOT spend time with Marc is really painful for me. But I realise that I have to make time for the Husband and I have to make time for me. I'm the kind of person that can spend 24 hours with the Husband and not need any alone time. Same goes for spending time with Marc. But its not healthy and if the Husband and I don't go away now, it will not be easy for us to do so again. Marc will still be at home and there will be very little adjustment for him even if we left as he will be in familiar surroundings. I still intend to breastfeed so I will have to lug the pump with me and pump at my usual times, but throw away the milk that I can't store.
Marc seems almost ready to start solids. He's drooling a lot and is interested when we eat. He can almost sit on how own and is losing interest in his milk. Another big milestone to conquer!
