Introductions
I guess we should actually introduce the kids. We have two, Roel and Susanna. Here's Roel:
Roel is 4 and a half and in his second year of pre-school. (I originally put "4.5", but that just looks funny.) One of his favorite activities is cooking. He's definitely a product of the Bay Area -- he's a total foodie. I remember a couple of years ago, we were back on the East coast visiting family (the Hickeys -- also foodies, BTW). They had set out some hors d'oeuvres, including crackers and smoked salmon. Roel took a look, and asked for some capers. Capers! I didn't know what capers were until I was an adult. When he grows up, he wants his own restaurant called "Roel's Kitchen". They serve sushi and pancakes, among other things. His other career aspirations include firefighter and being in a parade.
Speaking of food, this is our lovely daughter Susanna. She is 6 months old, and loves to eat. She just started solid food.
We've given her rice cereal and pears, which she loves, and green beans, which she, umm, does not love. At her last ped visit, she was 50th percentile in height and head, and 75th percentile in weight. So she's calmed down a bit from her prior visit, when she was 90th in weight. She's a great eater, and clearly mama has some primo stuff flowing from her bosom. We think Susanna is going to be a great singer. Her voice is clear, with a pleasant tone, and it really projects. She definitely lets us know when she's upset. But like Roel was at her age, she is a very chill baby. We're very lucky to have two relatively mellow kids.
With all of this food talk, it seems appropriate that this posting is on Thanksgiving day. Oh, and here's the entire family:
