The strength of babies always surprises me. You wouldn’t think these tiny little things can wrestle with a grown-up… yet they do. And they are strong!
Mark now uses both of his hands very well and loves grabbing—and sucking on—anything. Toys, blankets, clothes, fingers (preferably mine), hands (preferably mine), hair (again, mine)… It’s cute but very tiring, especially when I am tired. He can also turn onto his belly and it makes changing him a WWE match—he wriggles, tries to break free, grab anything within reach and kick all he can. Seriously. I have bruises from that abusive relationship with my not-even-six-month-old son.
The room looks like a battlefield after he plays with his toys—Sophie la Giraffe and Winnie squeak desperately and the elephant is covered with drool. Lapin is nowhere to be seen, probably thrown away across the room. Yep, he discovered throwing.
On the plus side, I don’t think I need to hit the gym. I have my personal trainer at home!
aaa
Oh my goodness! So cute grabbing at your nose like that! He is so lovely and looks so happy! Cor blimey, imagine when he starts crawling!!
He is slowly starting… I have to keep a close eye on him now!
Zhu, I’m in love with your baby. He’s just so cute and is getting bigger so fast. Very soon, not only the bedroom will look like a battlefield, but the whole house, specially the living room…
But remember: “newborn for a month, infant for a year, toddler for 2 years…” They grow so fast!
Oh yes, he has always mastered the “leaving a baby trail of stuffed animals” behind him!
Thank you for the baby praise 😉
So I’ll be original and say how cute he is!
Do strangers realise that he is half-Chinese? What comments, if any, do they make about his ethnicity?
A lot of people see Feng and I walking with Mark so they know he is biracial, but occasionally people say “oh it’s funny, he looks almost Asian!” 😆
I was going to be stupid and say “he has your hair!”. lol
It’s not stupid at all: he actually has my hair! 🙂
I love his sweater!
Mark keeps getting cuter and cuter each day. He looks like a really happy baby.
Thank you! I try to make him happy: not always easy, but I try!
