Inspired to be a typist, a writer or even a programmer? I think he just loves the sound of a keyboard.

5th month
Wow, it’s been 5 months already! This month Jet started eating solid a little bit, I think he is quite enjoying it. The first eating solid was on 29/11/2006.
His other achievement is being able to.. hm what’s the word here, flip or roll himself to the position below:
Jet is also able to sit upright for few seconds now.
4th month
Jet has grown stronger this month and more active too. His neck now is strong enough to keep his head straight, his back is also getting stronger, thus we are able to sit him upright for a period of time.
He sits comfortably just like a little boss on his desk, this worries me a bit, after all we hoped that he’ll be a missionary not a boss, the boss dream is for his daddy 🙂 ..
He’s quite active while he sleeps. During sleep somehow he likes to move closer to Lina. Lina also claimed that Jet tried to wake her up by gently stroking her face and muttering some baby words.
This is his usual sleeping start position.
During the course of the night he will move right (and unwrap himself in the process).
and left..
No longer Jet puts the whole hand into the mouth (maybe it’s getting to big to put into his mouth), but he now selectively picked his right hand thumb as his favourite sucking object. This is something that we are trying to prevent him from doing. One way to prevent him from doing this is to put a mitten on, however he has discovered ways to take off his mitten.. He usually suck his thumb whenever he wants to sleep, Lina is trying some things to prevent this from becoming his sleeping habit.
Jet dislikes playing by himself for a long period of time, when he’s bored he will shout for attention. Hm, beginning to act like a small boss..
Jet has also been known to laugh louder and longer now. He’s easily amused and hence we are able to make him smile on most of his pictures.
3rd month
Jet’s traveled overseas for the first time of his life. Thank God he had been very good on the plane both on the way to Indo and back from Indo. He also had no health problems whatsoever which is very good.
Although my grandma did not approve of his coming to Indo, but in the end she and the rest of the family were really glad that he did come. He unknowingly had provided some kind of “penghiburan” for all of us and especially for my mom, she needed it the most.
Jet did a photo shoot on a kid photo studio. The result was really good and cute! My favourite is Jet dressed as a watermelon.
On the way back to Sydney, Jet managed to meet uncle Sui (for the first time), uncle San and auntie Lisye at Changi Airport.
Coming back home, it’s decided that his patchy hair does not look good and thus a shaving of the head is needed.
Now he’s plontos, Lina called him Jet Gunawan (gundul menawan). Hm.
Opa
That’s Opa, Jet. When you got out from the womb, the first thing that I noticed was your nose, it’s Opa’s nose. Oma said it too when she first met you. Opa meninggal yesterday, it’s too bad you’ll never know him well. He would be a great Opa for you, just by the look of his face, I know he loved you so much. My hope is Jet, that I will be even a better father than him.
2nd month
2nd month, Jet is getting more chattery, if he’s in the mood, you might be able to get a conversation out of him.
He found a new habit, that is eating his hand, looking at his chubby hand, I sometimes tempted to eat it too…
Talking about chubby, he’s SO chubby now. The thing about parenting is, when your baby is not gaining weight you worry if baby is eating enough, but when your baby is chubby you worry whether you overfed the baby.
Yesterday, we put Jet on the cot for the first time. But only for playing though, at night he still sleeps with mommy.
Bye2x Ama and Engkong
It was an emotional day for lina, me (to some extent) and her parents. Ama and engkong left today after 2 months staying with us, helping out with things so that Lina can concentrate on Jet.
Message to Jet: must be grateful that you have good grandparents from both sides of the family. You are just one spoilt baby.
Funny sounds and restless nights
Jet has started to making sound, he used to make a “la la” sound, now his favourite sound is “genggeng” (in indo pronounciation), sometimes he makes a “inggih” sound too (which means yes in javanese). Can’t wait for his first proper word.
When people ask how is it going with the baby, our response was always “oh the baby is good, we are able to sleep through the night” etc2, well it hasn’t been the case for the past week or so. Jet is restless after the last feed of the day (around 11pm – 12am) when he’s supposed to start sleeping, sometimes it takes 1 hour just to get him to sleep. Not sure whether he is sick, better check with a doctor/GP soon.
Jet 1st month celebration
We had some fun today, dressing up Jet and taking pictures.
1 month
Jeremiah is one month old today. Bought a cake, with a thought of taking family picture, but home tonight was not a perfect picture taking night, so we’re saving the picture taking session for tomorrow.
Jet’s hair has fallen quite a bit, he’s gonna be bald soon I guess (hm bald.. dad’s worst nightmare). Jet skin’s seems to be improving now, the redness has subside but the “pimples” are still there.
Apparently 1 month is a big thing for Indo ppl, mom in sby has been sending out gifts to relatives and close friends. Lina and her mom made some red eggs to share with ppl too, maybe with Pelitan ppl.
