It’s really getting difficult to get good Baby Blogging pictures, now that SteelyKid is mobile. We’ve had to resort to trying to sneak Appa into the background when she pauses to regroup by chewing on an outgrown outfit: That’s not the best Appa-for-scale picture, I know, but it’s tough. This one is better, but you… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 073009

Bonus High-Altitude Baby Blogging
Kind of a lazy, sleepy day around Chateau Steelypips, hence the lack of blogging, but we did find time to try out a new baby diversion: This is going to be an outside-only game henceforth, given the low height of the door frames in this house, but it was a hit while it lasted.

It’s been a really busy week, so I’m too fried to do anything but a really basic Baby Blogging picture. So here’s SteelyKid with Appa and some of her many other toys: The biggest recent milestone is that she’s started eating actual food– pieces of cereal, little dried banana puffs, and that sort of thing.… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 072309
Belated Baby Blogging 071709
After a long service outage, our home Internet is back, and I can post Baby Blogging pictures. Of course, it’s not as easy to get those as it used to be, because SteelyKid is always on the move these days: You pretty much have to hold her in place to keep her in the frame:

This is an action shot, but you can’t really tell. An instant after this was taken, SteelyKid succeeded in getting Appa off the couch, and thumped down hard on her butt. This is also “Late-Wednesday Baby Blogging,” as Kate and SteelyKid left for Readercon early this morning (well, Kate is bound for Readercon. SteelyKid is… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 070909
Ad Astra Per Aspera
SteelyKid shows off her recently expanded climbing ability: I could attempt to make a strained connection to the Fourth of July by making some analogy between a baby climbing stairs and the need for constant slow improvement in the national character, or some such. But really, it’s just a cute baby picture being posted as… Continue reading Ad Astra Per Aspera

SteelyKid has recovered her usual energy level, as you can tell by the giant debris field she’s created in the living room: Looking at her there, among the scattered toys with Appa, you might be saying “Boy, what a great big baby she is!” It’s all a matter of perspective, though:

SteelyKid is pondering a life as a costumed crime-fighter– she’s got the pseudonym for it, after all– and here we see her trying out a catchphrase to strike fear into the hearts of naughty people: “Spooooon!!!” Actually, that’s lifted from somebody else. Probably needs more work. The traditional Appa-for-scale picture:
