Your weekly picture of SteelyKid with Appa:
She's getting big enough that it's starting to be difficult to keep them both in the frame, at least in the porta-crib bassinet thing. I may need to change the way I'm taking these.
On the developmental front, Kate reports hearing SteelyKid laugh on several occasions. I still haven't heard it. When I do the Baby Dance with her, she sometimes makes a little coughing sound that I think is the beginning of a laugh, but I have yet to hear real giggling.
She's also getting better with her hands. They're not always clenched in fists any more, and she can get her thumb in her mouth on maybe seven of ten attempts. She can't always keep it there, but it's progress all the same.
