This week’s Baby Blogging is in honor of SteelyKid’s continued growth: she had her six-month checkup on Wednesday, and has now officially exceeded the weight limit on the bassinet attachment to her porta-crib. We’ve had to lower her all the way down to the bottom of the crib, where she can look out at the… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 020509

Tiny Baby Pictures
SteelyKid is running a bit big for her age– she’ll be six months next weekend, but she’s outgrown all her six-month size clothes– but she’s still tiny. At least, I think so, and Kate has the pictures to show why.
Thursday Baby Blogging 012909
Today was a pretty rotten day in a lot of little ways that aren’t worth going into. A smiling, happy baby does a lot to make up for that, though: This week’s picture was actually taken last night by Kate. The height differential between us accounts for the fact that neither SteelyKid nor Appa are… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 012909
Belated Baby Blogging 012309
Baby Blogging is late this week, because SteelyKid has come down with the cold virus that’s going around the JCC day care center. Snotty, crying, coughing babies aren’t all that photogenic. I finally got a decent picture of her emerging from her sling after a two-hour nap: It’s a little tough to say whether the… Continue reading Belated Baby Blogging 012309
The Joys of Day Care
SteelyKid is now in day care five days a week. This is good for us, in that it lets Kate and I both go back to work full-time, and good for her, in that she gets to meet new people, and spend the whole day playing with interesting toys. Of course, it has its bad… Continue reading The Joys of Day Care
Checklist: Check!
SteelyKid was delivered by Caesarean section (MacDuff won’t stand a chance…). They let me in to the operating room just before the moment of delivery, and I stuck around while they cleaned her up and did the early tests that they do on newborns, before they brought her over for me and Kate to see.… Continue reading Checklist: Check!

This week, SteelyKid shows that she takes after her parents: “I like books!” she says.
SteelyKid Versus Vegetables
This is of interest to approximately eight people in the entire world, but SteelyKid got her first taste of “yellow vegetables” this weekend (step three on the road to solid food, after rice cereal and oatmeal cereal). Which provided a nice opportunity to play with the digital video camera we got for Christmas: Yes, that’s… Continue reading SteelyKid Versus Vegetables
Software Update Baby Blogging 010908
SteelyKid says, “Yay, Movable Type Upgrade!” ScienceBlogs as a whole is having some work done under the hood, upgrading the back end that we use to manage all the blogs. The system is highly customized, so it’s going to take a while– the site will be static (in the sense of “not changing,” not “the… Continue reading Software Update Baby Blogging 010908
Uncomfortable Question: Fatherhood
In response to my call for uncomfortable questions, Ewan goes for the jugular: what do you think your biggest failing as a father has been to date? See, this is the sort of thing I’m talking about… The answer is “I get frustrated too easily.”
