"Um-yum" is Fausto's new word. He uttered this spontaneously, over and over, when I fed him lentils, which he loved! After a few experiments with boring baby food, it became clear that he was simply ready for more flavor -- a lot more! So now I've taken to scooping out some of our food before salt, sugar, or honey are are added, and blending it until it looks like the stuff in those cute, overpriced jars. Some of Fausto's favorites include:
paella
smoothie full of berries (very tart, but he loved it!)
orange pulp
pasta with sundried tomatoes and kale
His one real "baby food" concession is teething biscuits. Um-yum!
Tune in for a new feature in the left-hand margin, in which we'll list Mr. Monkey's latest adventures with food.
The adventures of Fausto & Enrique
Emil Enrique
Baby Enrique was born on October 13, 2011 at 4:03 p.m., weighing 4 lbs 7 oz and measuring a tiny 17.5 inches. He was named for Teresa's paternal grandfather, Urho Emil and her favorite uncle, the late tío Enrique. In the tradition of all our kids, he goes by his middle name.
Enrique arrived via c-section 3 weeks ahead of schedule after a routine ultrasound found no amniotic fluid and growth restriction that had him measuring more like a 33-week-old.

Fausto
Baby Fausto was born on May 20, 2008 at 4:08 p.m., weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and measuring a lanky 21.5 inches. He was named for a dear friend of his daddy's, the late Fausto Alegado. Coincidentally he also shares a name with the great Italian cyclist, Fausto Coppi, il campionissimo. Incidentally, this old Latin name means "fortunate one."
