Today marks twelve weeks of SteelyKid: I spent pretty much the whole day at work, trying to get stuff done in advance of Kate’s return to work tomorrow, which will see me left home alone with SteelyKid all day for the first time. I’m a little apprehensive, to be honest. As for the picture, Kate… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 103008

Thursday Baby Blogging 102308
Your weekly picture of SteelyKid with Appa: She’s getting big enough that it’s starting to be difficult to keep them both in the frame, at least in the porta-crib bassinet thing. I may need to change the way I’m taking these. On the developmental front, Kate reports hearing SteelyKid laugh on several occasions. I still… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 102308
Meet the Babies
From this weekend’s visit home, a picture of my father and me, with our respective babies: You recognize SteelyKid, I hope. The fuzzy yellow guy is Bodie, my parents’ new Labrador Retriever puppy. Bodie is one day older than SteelyKid, and true to his Labrador breeding, he’s a born experimentalist, running around the house giving… Continue reading Meet the Babies
Fall
Why I love New England: That’s the maple tree on the line between our house and the neighbors’. It’s always one of the first trees to turn, and it’s always spectacular when it does. It’s particularly striking when Emmy and I set off for our morning walk and the back yard is still in shadow,… Continue reading Fall
Awesome Dragon Baby Blogging
SteelyKid has a new friend, courtesy of my sister: It’s a shlumpy google-eyed dragon, stuffed with pure awesome. I’m dubbing this guy “Wellington,” for family-historical reasons. A side shot (with extra bonus baby in the mirror) is below the fold:

Behold, the incredible expanding baby: The “Smart Cookie” onesie she’s wearing was also featured in the Week 4 picture, and now, it basically doesn’t fit her any more (it’s not fully buttoned under the blanket). We’ve already had to retire a couple of boxes of little-baby clothes, and she never did get to wear some… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 092508
Over-Stimulated Baby Blogging
SteelyKid is much too young for cartoons, but it’s not to early to celebrate the weekend with a riot of bright colors and stylized animal shapes: We had a really good morning of “Happy Awake Baby” (as opposed to “Happy Sleeping Baby” or “Screaming Awake Baby,” which are more common), and she had a grand… Continue reading Over-Stimulated Baby Blogging
Homecoming Baby Blogging 091308
Well, I’m back… I was away for SteelyKid’s 5-week birthday, but Kate was good enough to get the bison picture for the week. I got in late last night, and only got a bleary half-hour of baby-calming in at 2:30am, but even that was enough to reconfirm that she’s the cutest baby in the universe.… Continue reading Homecoming Baby Blogging 091308
Rock Out With Your Hawk Out
Seen tonight, as we were leaving for our evening walk: That is, I believe, one of the neighborhood red-tailed hawks, having killed a rabbit in our next-door neighbor’s back yard. I might be wrong about the “red-tailed hawk” part, but it’s definitely a bird of prey that killed a rabbit next door. Emmy is incredibly… Continue reading Rock Out With Your Hawk Out
Curiosity
Curious Baby says “I wonder what happens when I press this?” She’s going to end up a scientist, like her old man…
