We had a pediatrician appointment yesterday, at which it was declared that SteelyKid is in excellent health. She gained 8 ounces in the last week, or 1/16th of her weight (she was 8lbs even last week, and 8lbs 8oz this week). To put that in perspective, for me to make an equivalent change, I would need to gain more than 15 lbs in one week.
Here's this week's picture with Appa for scale (for the record, Appa is 23 inches from nose to tail):
We had put her in the "Smart Cookie" onesie that I picked up as a counter to all the frilly pink things we've been sent, but she spit up on it before I got to take the picture. C'est la vie.
(Suggestions of good sources of anti-frilly baby clothes are welcome in the comments...)

We went down to visit Kate's parents on Wednesday, so I wasn't able to post the weekly bison-for-scale picture. I did get one, though, so here it is a few days late:
This also gives us a chance to show off her "Smart Cookie" onesie, which I picked up because it's a nice break from the frilly pink…
Behold, the incredible expanding baby:
The "Smart Cookie" onesie she's wearing was also featured in the Week 4 picture, and now, it basically doesn't fit her any more (it's not fully buttoned under the blanket). We've already had to retire a couple of boxes of little-baby clothes, and she never…
SteelyKid had her two-month check-up in Monday (her two-month birthday was Tuesday), and checking in with the medical profession means we've got the opportunity for some baby science. And it's not science without graphs:
That's SteelyKid's weight as a function of time. Like most babies, she…
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…
This isn't so much cloths as it is a hat. But it isn't frilly and it is awesome.

Non-frilly greatness would be Baby Legs. They're just stockings, but they come in lots of cool different patterns, and when you pair them with a onesie, the outfit is complete. My favorites are a Rainbow set and a Pink & Grey argyle set. They are sold at some Target stores, but are known as Not Sox or some such thing, but they're baby legs.
Hanna Anderson clothes rock, and they last forever.

Gymboree! You can buy onesies and the like with dinosaurs on them. They're expensive, but so cute. I'm always getting them for girl-babies of people I know.
