Chip off the old block


No one who looks at Rohan has any doubt that he is Mike's son. The chin dimple. The blue eyes. The impish grin. The hearty laugh. One thing he does not yet share with his father is his definition of "morning". As if he knew it was father's day, Rohan woke me up at 6:20 so that we could get some molten chocolate cakes ready for Daddy.

Rohan and his father shared much excitement together today, including a friend's birthday party, and a trip to Daddy's lab to rescue sensitive chemicals from a broken cold room. An extremely hyper baby is finally asleep, and before his mother follows him to dreamland, she will post:

The Things That Father And Son Both Like to Do:
1. Eat pretzels















2. Sleep with arms folded behind head.













3. Take bubble baths. (Yes, I was surprised when I first met Mike, too.)










4. Manage a systems biology laboratory.






Happy first Father's Day to a patient, sensitive, funny Daddy. Can't wait for many more days in the years of parenting we will share.

There's a second point evidenced by picture #2: Show their support for the Nittany Lions.

I think Rohan looks a lot like you, with Mike's colour.
The comparisons are too cute! Hands folded under his head!!
