Baby Blogging Backlog
Posted by Chad Orzel on January 21, 2012 I’ve been really bad about documenting The Pip’s growth here. The annoying thing is, I’ve actually taken pictures of him over the last couple of weeks, but I’ve been too busy to edit and post them. If there’s one thing transcontinental flights are good for, though, it’s providing you with time to do stuff like…
Weekend Family Blogging
Posted by Chad Orzel on January 8, 2012 Lots of people ask how SteelyKid is taking to having a younger sibling. Well, judge for yourself: This is during the Giants-Falcons playoff game this afternoon, but it’s pretty typical. When both SteelyKid and The Pip are home, she’s always running over to give him kisses and hugs and chatter at him. She’s super excited…
Baby Formulae
Posted by Chad Orzel on December 27, 2011 One of The Pip’s Christmas presents simply demands to be shown off here: This is a baby blanket knitted by his awesome Aunt Anastasia, with three physics equations on it. They’re subtle, but if you look closely, you can read them: E=mc2, V=IR, and F=ma. All the other babies will be jealous of his knowledge…
Thursday Family Blogging 121511
Posted by Chad Orzel on December 15, 2011 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…
Thursday Family Picture Blogging
Posted by Chad Orzel on December 8, 2011 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…
Monday Pip Blogging: Week 2
Posted by Chad Orzel on November 21, 2011 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…
It’s Hard Work Being This Cute
Posted by Chad Orzel on November 17, 2011 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…
The Pip Discovers the Internet
Posted by Chad Orzel on November 12, 2011 “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
Posted by Chad Orzel on November 11, 2011 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:…
Glowbug Baby
Posted by Chad Orzel on November 9, 2011 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.…
