In this post we present an update to our earlier measurement of the Baby Feeding Correlation Function: The figure above shows a histogram of the interval between feedings for SteelyKid in the 14 weeks since birth. Error bars represent 1-σ statistical uncertainties. As you can see, we have added a great deal of data since… Continue reading Baby Quantization Update

Baby Science: Still No Pattern
We filled up the last sheet on the legal pad we’ve been using as a baby-feeding log, which reminded me that it’s been a while since I updated this: Again, this is the feeding pattern for SteelyKid, with darker colors indicating longer duration. Bottle feedings are arbitrarily assigned to 20 minutes for 4 oz of… Continue reading Baby Science: Still No Pattern

Another Thursday, another picture with Appa. And SteelyKid throws her arms wide to say “I’m this big!” She was nice and quiet earlier while I taped my half of a bloggingheads conversation that should hopefully appear on Saturday. She’s been making up for that the last hour or so, demanding all sorts of attention as… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 111308
Hands of Science
SteelyKid has recently begun to figure out her hands. As I noted last week, within the last couple of weeks, she’s started to be able to reliably grab things near her. Just within the last few days, she’s discovered that she has two hands, and they can interact with each other: She’s started grabbing one… Continue reading Hands of Science
Now We Are Three (Months)
It’s SteelyKid’s three-month birthday! One quarter of a year, already. To celebrate, she shows off her developmental progress: Within the last week or so, she’s finally grasped the idea that the larger world consists of objects that she can interact with. Just this week, she’s begun to reliably grab the hanging animals in her little… Continue reading Now We Are Three (Months)

For lucky Week 13, SteelyKid models an outfit from the Belichick Collection: Asked about the picture afterwards, she said “It is what it is. Right now, we’re focused on next week. We just take it one game at a time.” Well, ok, she’s not that advanced. She does, however, know what to do with a… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 110608
Halloween Baby Blogging
Today is Kate’s first day back at work (part-time), so I’m home alone with SteelyKid. This doesn’t leave me much time or mental energy for blogging, so here’s a bonus baby picture for the week: This one’s mostly for the grandparents, who bought her the Halloween outfit. You can’t see the jack-o-lantern face on the… Continue reading Halloween Baby Blogging
Thursday Baby Blogging 103008
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

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
SteelyKid Says…
“Donate to my dad’s DonorsChoose challenge, or I will pop you right in the mouth!” “Bang! Zoom! To the Moon!” You don’t want to mess with her– she’s fierce. So please give generously.
