I haven’t sorted out yet how I plan to handle Thursday Toddler Blogging given that the original reason for it being on Thursday was because SteelyKid was born on a Thursday. The Pip, on the other hand, was born on a Monday. Should I do two cute-kid photos a week? Move it to Friday Family… Continue reading It’s Hard Work Being This Cute

The Pip Discovers the Internet
“Seriously, Daddy, I’m awake for like one hour a day, and you’re going to spend it taking my picture?” “You’re going to post this on the Internet, aren’t you?”
Glowbug Baby
How awesome is The Pip? So awesome he glows: OK, that’s really just a phototherapy light because he’s a little jaundiced (SteelyKid had the same thing when she was just born, though I don’t remember the light being brought to the room with her). It makes him look like he glows in the dark, though.… Continue reading Glowbug Baby
Meet the Pip
As of 4:35 this morning, Chateau Steelypips has a new member (though not yet resident, for a couple more days): This photo, with the traditional sky-bison for scale is our new baby boy, David Nepveu Orzel, henceforth to be referred to on the blog as “The Pip.” Because “SteelyKid and The Pip” sounds like a… Continue reading Meet the Pip
Thursday Toddler Blogging 1103011
This weekend, we did a little more furniture-moving to prepare for the imminent arrival of FutureSibling!, which included moving SteelyKid’s black chair upstairs into her room, and putting the portable crib back in front of the fireplace in the living room. Unsurprisingly, she wanted to get in it; surprisingly, she allowed me to take a… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 1103011
Thursday Terrified Parent Blogging 102711
A couple of cell-phone pictures from last weekend, on an early-evening run to one of the local playgrounds. The sun was pretty well down when SteelyKid decided she wanted to climb on the giant rope climbing structure they have. she’s gone on this before, but it’s never lasted long, so we figured, why not? (It’s… Continue reading Thursday Terrified Parent Blogging 102711
Thursday Toddler Blogging 102011
SteelyKid was in an exceptionally happy mood the other night, and so I not only got the silly face shot from the previous post, but also this more traditional Toddler Blogging picture, with Appa, no less: All together now: Awwwwwww…. Appa, you may or may not recall, has served as our standard length reference for… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 102011
Donors Choose Fundraiser: Double Your Impact
I’ve been too busy to really work on the DonorsChoose fundraiser this year, but it’s worth taking a little time to mention this opportunity: Starting today and running through Saturday midnight, the DonorsChoose board will match donations to the Science Bloggers for Students fundraiser. thus, a $5 donation becomes $10, $10 becomes $20, and, well,… Continue reading Donors Choose Fundraiser: Double Your Impact
SteelyKid the Builder
Because it’s been a while since I posted a cute toddler picture, and because SteelyKid actually let me shoot some pictures of her yesterday for the first time in a while. Here she is, playing with Legos: Of course, building giant towers is only half the fun of playing with Legos:
Thursday Shana Tova Blogging 092911
The JCC, where SteelyKid goes to preschool, is closed for Rosh Hashanah, so she’s off at Grandma and Grandpa’s for the weekend. They start doing a little more religious instruction at the preschool level, so we got to hear about Jewish theology, SteelyKid style: It’s the birthday of the world, so I’m going to Grandma… Continue reading Thursday Shana Tova Blogging 092911
