Zach is a big boy now. He has a big and muscle body. Therefore, most people thought that he was five or six years old. Jerome kept telling me that Zach had a big bum and big thighs. He said that Zach would be a good runner.

Zach talks a lot. He talks everywhere and everytime. Sometimes, he drives us crazy with all his questions, even he often does not give us time to talk. He bravely talk with strangers and has chat with them.

Zach still likes swimming a lot. He likes to dive in the pool. Swim in the beach is become his hit now. A week after we got back from Hongkong, he asked us to go to Bali because he wanted to swim in the beach. We had to tell him that we had to save money again because we had no money anymore after Hongkong. Finally, he could understand and stop asking us.

He can swim without his life jacket now. He is quite good in using his frog style already. He can spend time in the pool for hours. When we were in Solo, he spent eight hours in the pool. His skin became darker now.

After a long summer holiday, he has started his school again since two weeks ago. He is in the first kindergarten class. Seemed that he did not enjoy the class yet. He said he liked holidays because he could go to the beach and spend time with us. But since this week, his taekwondo lessons was started and it made him happy. He likes taekwondo so much.

Jacob will be ten months old next week. He is still fat, but I do not know exactly how much his weight now. We will see his doctor next two weeks.

Jacob is a smiling baby. He loves to laugh and smile at people. He likes the rythime and dance. Everytime he hears the music, he will stop all his activities and start to rock his body up and down and clap his hands. He is so cute and squishy.

He has four teeth, therefore he likes to chew everything. When he cries, we will give him something to chew, bread crumps or fruits, in to his mouth or turn on the music then he suddently will stop crying.

He likes to crawl everywhere. He likes to stand up and can stand up by his self for few seconds. He also understand few words such as no, sleep, "tepuk tangan" or claps. If we say one of those words, he will do it but particularly for "No" sometimes he did not do it what we ask eventhough he understand that we did not want him to do it.

So far, Zach and Jake can still play together nicely. Zach likes to play and take a bath with his brother. It is fun to watch their interaction while they are playing together. Jake often wants to take Zach's toys and put it into his mouth, Zach really hates when Jake do that. He would say "Baby ... don't put my toys into your mouth. That's disgusting!". And I think Jake could understand it because he would put the toys back into the place and find something else to chew it. Funny boy!

Both my boys have a nice smile. Their smiles can brighten up my days. I love them so much and will do everything to make them happy.
