Anyway, Marky's turning six months next week. So this may seem like a conclusion to how he's been during his fifth month. Well, here goes.
Fifth month for Marky has been so memorable. For one, it was the time when he had his first Christmas and New Year celebrations. Second, it was also when he went to Mommy's office! Yep, he was the apple of the eye when his Daddy brought him to visit Mommy in the office. Mommy had needed an escort because it was TF day and at the same time, Christmas bonus day.
So, Daddy sort of thought it was the perfect time to bring along Marky also.My workmates were all in fun quandary when they saw my son. But Marky got all stressed out and cried... he's apparently not used to seeing so many people get abashed by him. Just as our show was ending, I brought him upstairs to the control booth. He was so mesmerized by the many TVs, the many buttons, the many sounds, and the serious faces of the people around, who were throwing winks at him! We were joking that he was the one who actually directed the show.
Then, when Mommy's about to get her dough, Marky was left to the care of the reporters, who, thankfully, played very good nannies to him while I and his Daddy are not around (Headline: News reporters ng TV5, may bagong karir!).
After that, we took him to SM Novaliches where we shopped for Noche Buena as well as baby stuff.Fast forward to Christmas celebration... I think Marky knows something's up, because he can't sleep in the hours before 12 midnight... he just keeps on playing and calling, "Mimi" (that's how he calls me). And, when 12 midnight strikes, we dressed him up and we went to his Lola's which is just a few blocks away from our abode. He was so scared of the fireworks! Too scared, in fact, that it sent him feverish that he had no choice but to fall asleep in Mommy's arms, while clutching on to Mommy's shirt.
Come New Year's celebration, Marky's a lot better because this time, he took a nap before 12 strikes. Good for Mommy, because I had to cook media noche. And then, when the pretty fireworks started coloring the sky, we armed him with a cotton each in his ears and a towel on his nose and mouth, and we urged him to look at the fireworks. He's so confused he doesn't know where to look first! It was very funny. And then, when the fireworks ceased, we pulled the guests inside for some media noche and drinks. Marky played host to the guests - he was quite a chatterbox and he entertained the people with his tongue sticking out and his spit showering on all of us. By 3am, he motioned to Mommy to put him to sleep, and after ten minutes, we're in bed, sound asleep.
Right now, he's sick... with colds, cough, and a slight fever that goes on and off. We blame it on the weather. Even I was feeling down and out right now... every time I go to work, I feel like I'm very, very sick. He's currently undergoing medication and we hope he gets well soon so he'll get to enjoy his mid-morning hot water baths again.
Happy New Year, peeps!
Love from: Daddy, Mommy, and Marky!
