I can't believe my boy is 5 months! time surely flies when you look at your child grow...
Well, Zachariah is now very playful. He craves attention from both Mr M & I and he now loves it when we give him a bath all thanks to the musical keyboard toy that I introduced to him. You see, at 5 months, a baby is now learning 'cause & effect' so I thought it would be perfect for him to play with the keyboard and boy does he love it. When I first placed the keyboard at his feet, he had accidentally kicked it. After the keyboard made a sound, he discovered the effect of his kicked so... he kicked again & again and again to hear the sounds that the keyboard played. Of course our litte one looked soooo cute & funny too! Ever since then, he loves kicking everything including me (when I change him on the changing table) & when he's in his bath, he kicks all the water out of the bath tub. It's sooo funny! We definitely enjoy him more and more each day :)

> His cheeks are still very dry & I've noticed a small little patch on his hand too like a size of a 5cent coin! golly gosh, it looks a bit like eczema! I pray that it's not!
> His hair has grown out a lot although still got a lot to go!
> Loves to pull his dummy in and out of his mouth & sometimes may even offer to give it to you if you open your mouth long enough :)
> Loves us when his mummy and daddy does the popping noise (like pringles ad) and would laugh in hysterics!
> Loves it when I play the game 'yi er san' with him. I would count to three in Chinese & then pull him up to a sitting upright position & then I would count to three again & then pull him up to a standing position & amazingly after 3 times of playing this, he pulls himself to sit & stand! Now, everytime I count to 3 in Chinese, our little one just knows that mummy is about to pull him up to sit & stand. I can't believe how fast they learn!

Here's our little boy up to no good again. He stuck his hand in the bolster pillow & then couldn't get it out. I didn't even realise it until he struggled to find his hand! too funny!
Then, he decided to kick his daddy's chest as well but ended up going under his shirt & got his legs stuck. hahaha
Here's my favourite photo of the lot taken when he was 4months & 3 days old. He was absolutely knackered & fell asleep like a little fat kitten on his daddy's lap
