Marco - almost 10mths

Marco is growing all the time.
I'm making more of an effort to get him out more, 'socialise' more...
In part cos it's gd for him at this stage,
and also cos we're gog to Bali in 3 months!

It just struck me -- I have had Marco about the same time now as I had him in my tummy.
Nearly 10 months.

He is turning 10mths old next week, and wat joy.
At this point, he's certainly a much happier and joyful lil boy.
He can eat well, crawl super fast, stand firm... just short of walking and talking.
He can express what he wants and hates.
He observes people and places and things.
He is curious abt other babies/children, and seem to prefer them over adults/oldies.
He loves music, and can 'dance' to his favourite happy songs.
He loves gadgets and balls and vehicles.... and i always think, what a typical boy he is!
He remembers and knows certain words we use often, like 'ball', 'tree', 'bye', 'car', 'walk', 'open'...
He knows his grandparents & uncles/aunties.
Most of all, he loves me & terence absolutely and unconditionally.


Life has been great after my new work arrangement.
It's like the turning point of this year.
I finally can be the mother/employee i want to be.

Can't ask for more.
Praise the Lord.



Random thoughts on my head:
-- how to celebrate his 1st birthday?
-- preparing for Bali: passport making, doctor checks, wat to buy/prepare
-- how to save/earn more money?
