I thought we’d go with a change of scene for this week’s baby blogging, so we took Appa out into the back yard. Trouble is, it’s a little hard to get a good Baby Blogging photo there because there are so many other things to catch SteelyKid’s attention: We haven’t been outside much this summer,… Continue reading Outdoor Baby Blogging 090309

Basketball Baby
One of the nice things about being a parent is getting to introduce SteelyKid to my own obsessions. Like, for example, the great game of basketball: “You want me to throw this how high?” Maybe we’ll stick with something a little smaller for now: (Hey to Todd Clark, who gave us the toy hoop…)
55 Weeks in 120 Seconds
Here’s some cute to get your Sunday off to a good start: the first 55 weeks of Thursday Baby Blogging pictures strung together into a movie showing the growth of SteelyKid: (Thursday of week 20 was Christmas Day, and there are limits to even my geekery. I don’t know what happened to Week 41.) It’s… Continue reading 55 Weeks in 120 Seconds
Social Network Baby
SteelyKid shows off the latest in clothes for geeky toddlers: It’s not really the official Twitter logo bird, but it’s pretty close. After this was taken, we spent a good half hour playing a rousing game of “Clueless Mail Carrier”:

SteelyKid says “Pose with Appa? No way! I’m a baby on the go!” I actually did get a couple of reasonable Appa-for-scale shots (one is below the fold), but I like the action quality of this one. It’s an accurate representation of what she’s like at the moment, too.

This week’s Baby Blogging breaks new ground: Outdoor Baby Blogging! SteelyKid says “Stop mugging for the camera, Daddy! This is about me!”
March of the (Wooden) Penguins
One of SteelyKid’s birthday gifts from my parents was a wheeled wooden penguin on a stick. If you roll it along the ground, the wings flap, with a very satisfying clacking noise. It took SteelyKid a little while to get the hang of it, but she’s got the idea now: Really, I don’t have anything… Continue reading March of the (Wooden) Penguins
Why Our Living Room Looks Like a Tornado Came Through
Caught on video: It’s very difficult to decide which of the many, many toys in the toybox is the right toy…
Can’t-Miss Toy Idea: Roomba Baby
As a parent of a newly mobile one-year-old, I have a can’t-fail suggestion for a toy product that would fuse two popular technologies: realistic infant simulators (baby dolls that cry, wet themselve, etc.) and vacuum-cleaning robots. All you need to do is mount a baby doll on a Roomba chassis, and use the same random-walk… Continue reading Can’t-Miss Toy Idea: Roomba Baby
Thursday Baby Blogging 081309
It’s getting harder and harder to get good SteelyKid pictures, because she’s always in motion (see digital camera complaints in the previous post). So, we have to resort to tricks like putting her in her babypod and holding Appa up next to her: Fortunately, she doesn’t mind too much… Actually, she sits in the babypod… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 081309
