I'm having a great time at this week's conference, but I still find myself missing SteelyKid. Which is kind of amazing, really, as she's only been around for five weeks, and she's mostly just slept, cried, eaten, and soiled an astonishing number of diapers. And yet, how can I not miss this:
Really, if babies weren't so darn cute, the species never would've survived long enough to learn to use tools, let alone invent blogs...

A while back, I went down to Vroman's Nose in Middleburgh to go for a hike, and found a sign saying that peregrine falcons are known to nest on the cliffs. Since the peregrine falcon is SteelyKid's absolute favorite bird, and the subject of her school research project, this seemed like a good…
While in the past, I've written a bunch about basketball here, I've been unusually silent on the subject this year, confining my commentary to the occasional Links Dump item from Grantland and other sites. This isn't because the past season was not noteworthy-- indeed, it was a rather eventful year…
The tagline up at the top of this blog promises "Physics, Politics, and Pop Culture," but unless you count my own photos as pop art, I've been falling down on the last of those. This is largely because, despite being on sabbatical, I've been so busy running after the kids that I don't have much…
We are back in Niskayuna now, where SteelyKid is using her new powers of bipedal locomotion to help me burn off some of the excess calories from the weekend in Montreal. She's only been walking for a couple of weeks, but she can really move.
I'm pretty fried, even after napping for two hours…
I could gush over how incredibly adorable SteelyKid is. But you obviously already know
:-)
Wearing diapers is a bounded problem. The three body problem is more difficult to solve - you, SteelyTeenager, and everything in the world. "8^>)
There's nothing quite like it. Especially when they're that age and size where you can just prop them on your chest while you sag on the couch watching late night movies (and the wife catches up on all the sleep she's missed)....
Congrats again.
She's a sweetie! I notice she's using a soothie paci - if she likes those, you should check out wubbanubs (http://www.wubbanub.com/) Helps keep the paci in at night, easier for her to grab herself, and just darn cute. My girl still cuddles her, 2 years on :D Another advantage - few paci holders work with the soothies (the flower one made by the company works well) and the attached critter helps locate the bouncing paci - because those things are like superballs!
I am in no way associated with wubbanub - I just think they are great, and every one who's seen my daughter with hers always asks about it.
