My mom was in Saratoga Springs for a meeting, and stopped by tonight to make a guest appearance in this week’s Baby Blogging. Here, SteelyKid shows off how she can haul herself into a standing position on the big tub of outgrown baby clothes sitting in the living room: “How do we know she did… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 060309: Bonus Grandma Edition

Going Mobile
I don’t intend to turn this entirely over to Video Baby Blogging, but SteelyKid has been adding new tricks at an amazing rate, and I have the camera… Here, she showcases her newfound mobility, and her inherited taste in entertainment: The odd one-leg-under crawling style seems to be a local maximum– she can get up… Continue reading Going Mobile
Putting Things Inside of Other Things Since 2009
SteelyKid’s day care is closed today for a Jewish holiday, so she’s spending the day at home with her grandmother. It was a real struggle to get my mother to come up for the day… Something I’m sure is on the agenda is playing with her shape sorter box, which she was good enough to… Continue reading Putting Things Inside of Other Things Since 2009

This week, a special Literary Edition: Those are the first pass typeset proofs for the book, which just arrived in the mail today. Aren’t they adorable? Oh, okay, fine. You’re just here for the conventional cute baby pictures:

Kate here, reporting that SteelyKid says, “Being sick is fun! I get to take baths at 10 o’clock at night, and play on nice soft towels, and have Mommy’s undivided attention all day long . . . “

This is Week 40 of Thursday Baby Blogging, meaning that SteelyKid has nominally reached the point where she has been out in the world as long as she was gestating. Let’s see what she thinks: SteelyKid says “Huh? I thought that wasn’t for another couple of weeks…” And it’s true, she was late in arriving.… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 051409
A Ticklish Situation
It has come to my attention that unspecified people are having a bad couple of days for unspecified reasons and could use a pick-me-up. Thus, I give you the cutest laughing baby in the universe. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

It’s been an uneven week for SteelyKid. She was a litle bit sick last week, and really only got better last weekend, only to turn listless and feverish at day care Monday. This led to yet another trip to the pediatrician, at which we learned that waking a sleeping baby up to press a cold… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 050709
The Faulty Thermodynamics of Children’s Stories
SteelyKid is not yet at the stage where I can usefully read to her– she likes sitting on my lap while I read just fine, but she’s more interested in trying to eat the pages than listening to the story. I was reminded this morning, though, that when she gets to bedtime-story age, I’m going… Continue reading The Faulty Thermodynamics of Children’s Stories
Old and Lame, but Funny
I’m walking a little gingerly today, thanks to an injury to my left foot. Sadly, this was not the result of anything cool, like rescuing orphans from a burning building, or dunking a basketball in order to win a league championship. Instead, I bruised the bottom of my foot by landing on one of Emmy’s… Continue reading Old and Lame, but Funny
