SteelyKid is ten weeks old today! To celebrate, here's the weekly picture with Appa for scale, with a special bonus Kate for additional perspective:
This is the "please, won't you go to sleep?" posture, but SteelyKid, sensing the camera, is having none of that.
Tomorrow, we're off to Scenic Whitney Point to visit her grandparents, where she won't be spoiled at all. Nope. Not even a little.

DADDY: So, what did you do at school today?
STEELYKID: Daddy, I'm a superhero. They call me Strong Ninja Girl. Strong World-Saving Ninja Girl.

Your baby can be operated via remote control?
Cool.
