Here’s some cute to get your Sunday off to a good start: the first 55 weeks of Thursday Baby Blogging pictures strung together into a movie showing the growth of SteelyKid: (Thursday of week 20 was Christmas Day, and there are limits to even my geekery. I don’t know what happened to Week 41.) It’s… Continue reading 55 Weeks in 120 Seconds

Social Network Baby
SteelyKid shows off the latest in clothes for geeky toddlers: It’s not really the official Twitter logo bird, but it’s pretty close. After this was taken, we spent a good half hour playing a rousing game of “Clueless Mail Carrier”:

SteelyKid says “Pose with Appa? No way! I’m a baby on the go!” I actually did get a couple of reasonable Appa-for-scale shots (one is below the fold), but I like the action quality of this one. It’s an accurate representation of what she’s like at the moment, too.
New Toy
I’ve caught the intestinal thing that was making Kate’s life miserable the last couple days, and the less said about that the better. Happily, my new camera arrived (Canon Rebel XSi/ 450D), giving me something to play with while I try to remain hydrated. And I have to say, it’s a nice new toy: I… Continue reading New Toy

This week’s Baby Blogging breaks new ground: Outdoor Baby Blogging! SteelyKid says “Stop mugging for the camera, Daddy! This is about me!”
Can’t-Miss Toy Idea: Roomba Baby
As a parent of a newly mobile one-year-old, I have a can’t-fail suggestion for a toy product that would fuse two popular technologies: realistic infant simulators (baby dolls that cry, wet themselve, etc.) and vacuum-cleaning robots. All you need to do is mount a baby doll on a Roomba chassis, and use the same random-walk… Continue reading Can’t-Miss Toy Idea: Roomba Baby
Estimation Contest: Guess the Total, Win a Book
This wooden box sits on top of my dresser, and every afternoon when I come home, I dump the change from my pockets into it. It’s getting close to full, as you can see: I’ve got a couple of extra galley proofs kicking around, so here’s a contest: Guess the total dollar value of the… Continue reading Estimation Contest: Guess the Total, Win a Book

It’s getting harder and harder to get good SteelyKid pictures, because she’s always in motion (see digital camera complaints in the previous post). So, we have to resort to tricks like putting her in her babypod and holding Appa up next to her: Fortunately, she doesn’t mind too much… Actually, she sits in the babypod… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 081309
Pimp Me Digital Cameras
The vast majority of the SteelyKid pictures posted here have been taken with our Canon PowerShot A95 camera, which is around five years old at this point. It’s served us well, but is getting old, and has a few sub-optimal features, in particular the lag time between pushing the button and actually taking the picture–… Continue reading Pimp Me Digital Cameras

Even though Kate and I are en route to Montreal, dodging Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents, through the miracle of post scheduling, you get your Thursday Baby Blogging. To get around the problems posed by her new mobility, we’ll fall back on a classic: the sleeping-baby picture: If you look at the file name, you’ll see… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 080609
