Jacob is 5 months old

My junior, Jacob is five months old. Time flies. I still remembered the time when Wife went into O&G Operating Theater, Sarawak General Hospital. Shereen, Wife's senior, was kind enough to take a picture of him when he came into the world.

Cry of Joy - Minutes after birth

He traveled various places at such a young age. As he was one month old, he traveled to Sibu and then Miri. And had his first hair cut there. He had his first flight experience at the age of 3 months. Landed at LLCT, Sepang and Kelantan's airport.

2 months old

Weighing 9 kg, he's getting heavier week by week. He can roll over to his left and only recently to his right.

Hair is growing thicker. Height is up to 66 cm. He has no problem being 'strapped' onto the baby chair in the car. And the only word he can sing now is 'Aahh'.... before he dozes off in his morning and afternoon naps.

Sons

My sons, Elder Darrien and Younger Jacob

Darrien - 3 years and 1 month old, Jacob - nearly 5 months

I'm taking care of the boys at full time basis. It's not an easy job. In fact, it's not even a job or career.

It's a business of nurturing these young minds. They will follow my actions and mimic my words.

Be good, boys.

Darrien celebrated his 3rd birthday on the 16 November 2012. In Miri. He had his first birthday in Sibu. Then, a nice second birthday celebration in Kuching. Covering all the Sarawak major cities. Next year, most probably in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan.

Since early morning, Wife made him three big, red colored eggs.

Son was very excited and he happily peeled off the hard-boiled eggs with Wife. Son is a good egg eater and for the record, he did eat five eggs at one go. With the five yolks inside my stomach.

When we went to see him at his 2-month attachment in Tadika Sinaran Montessori, Piasau Garden, he was surprised and leapt with joy. Birthday goodies were given to his classmates. Everyone was seated down. Miss Sim, his class teacher was very kind to decorate a room with birthday theme. Complete with a big "Happy Birthday" banner. The Principal, Miss Voon lighted the Elmo birthday cake.

After birthday song was sung, Son cut his cake.

The children were very cooperative. They had their Sesame Street's characters' cupcakes, with colourful icings all over their mouth.

It's not a trumpet, Son!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Son!

Jacob's first haircut

Before haircut

Jacob had his first haircut earlier of the week. Like his Gogo, Gong Gong cut his hair.

I never asked my parents whether I had hair shaven before when I was a baby. But according to Wikipedia and Babycenter, Chinese babies are shaved to shed the 'birth hair', considered hair grown in the womb.

Jacob's hair is soft but less than Darrien's when he's at Jacob's current age.

After haircut

Well, being an example, Gogo just had to clean the floor after the haircut session.

Daddy, you're showing my neng neng to the world?

Jacob is baptized

With God's grace, Jacob was baptized by Father Justin, at the age of 44 days. His godfather is Mr. Frederick.

Holy water was poured over Jacob's forehead and white cloth was put over his body.

Peter said in Book of Acts

 "Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off–for all whom the Lord our God will call."

May St. Jacob of Nisibis watches over him and guides him through the Lord's path.

To celebrate the memorable occasion, Wife bought a nice 1.5kg cake from the Hot Cross Bun bakery.
