We got a good group photo this week, showing everybody, with Appa for scale, even: Here, SteelyKid is opening a bag of small presents that Aunt Norma and Uncle Dan sent, while the Pip engages in the traditional five-week-old-infant pursuit of sleeping a whole lot. When she’s not opening early Christmas gifts, SteelyKid too engages… Continue reading Thursday Family Blogging 121511

Thursday Family Picture Blogging
The Pip turned one month old yesterday, so to celebrate, here’s a picture of the whole family: OK, it’s not a photograph, but look! SteelyKid drew that all by herself! (The labels on the drawing were done by one of her preschool teachers; the printed text was added by me when I obscured the given… Continue reading Thursday Family Picture Blogging
Belated Cute Blogging
Both Monday and Thursday were too hectic this week to get good family pictures. I got this one today, though, that I think is probably worth the wait: The great thing about taking pictures of really little babies is that they sleep soundly enough for you to futz around changing lenses and apertures and all… Continue reading Belated Cute Blogging
Monday Pip Blogging: Week 2
SteelyKid’s away at Grandma and Grandpa’s for a few days, to give us a little more time to acclimate to The Pip, which means you get a very traditional baby blogging picture: It’s not the greatest angle for comparing his size to Appa, but you get the idea. The Pip is settling in nicely. His… Continue reading Monday Pip Blogging: Week 2
It’s Hard Work Being This Cute
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?”
The Pip comes Home
Actually, The Pip came home last night, but the whole process was too hectic to take any decent pictures, let alone blog about it. We got some quiet time this afternoon, though, when SteelyKid had been packed off to day care, which let me take some good shots of The Pip chillin’ in his crib:… Continue reading The Pip comes Home
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
