8th Month

I haven’t updated this blog for awhile now, I had been pretty busy and didn’t feel like blogging for awhile.

We went to Newcastle on January long weekend. We had a good time and Jet seemed to be enjoying himself as well.

long trip, one has to strech

In the speech department, starting about 2 months ago, Jet had been able to say “mama” and meant it (usually when he cries and wants Lina to pick him up). Couple of weeks after that, he can say “papa” and relate the word to me. In the last few weeks he has been talking quite a lot, he talks to himself and he talks to us, his (baby language) vocabulary has also grown.

Jet has started to learn how to stand up on his own, which must be an exciting discovery for him as he seems to be enjoying this activity a lot.

The last few days, we tried to get Jet to sleep on his own on his cot, this is still a struggle for us. Usually, he falls asleep at our bed, and once he sleeps, we then move him to his cot. We decided that he needs to start being little bit independent from us and thus trying to get him to sleep on his own. He doesn’t take it too well and now is having a regular crying session (1-2 hours) before finally tiring himself to sleep. We hope that he’ll adapt to the new situation soon and stop crying.

Another concern that we have is that in 2 weeks time there’s church camp, which means another break from the habit we are trying to set for him. Furthermore in 2-3 months time we are going back to Indonesia, which will have a huge impact on the his routine and habit.
