You get Baby Blogging early today, because I have a ton of grading to finish today, and don't have time for bloggy things. This week, SteelyKid shows off two new-ish skills:
She can stand up, and she's strong enough to lift a bison! Look out, world...
If you're clicking through to warn us that allowing her to stand up in the Pack and Play is a sure route to Instant Death!!!!1!, please don't.

I've been slacking in my obligation to use this blog for self-promotion, but every now and then I remember, so here are two recent things where I was interviewed by other people:
-- I spoke on the phone to a reporter from Popular Mechanics who was writing a story about "radionics" and "wishing…
As of 4:35 this morning, Chateau Steelypips has a new member (though not yet resident, for a couple more days):
This photo, with the traditional sky-bison for scale is our new baby boy, David Nepveu Orzel, henceforth to be referred to on the blog as "The Pip." Because "SteelyKid and The Pip"…
It's Thursday again, and that means Baby Blogging. But first, SteelyKid has a message:
"Thanks for the awesome rocking frog, Aunt Erin!" Of course, as with any toy at this age, the box is just as much fun:
And, of course, the obligatory Appa picture, showing that she is an enormous baby:
She's…
In response to my call for uncomfortable questions, Ewan goes for the jugular:
what do you think your biggest failing as a father has been to date?
See, this is the sort of thing I'm talking about...
The answer is "I get frustrated too easily."
The first few weeks SteelyKid was home, I could get…
Well, honestly, I don't see how you can *stop* her from standing up in the Pack & Play at this point, and those things are pretty stable - she probably won't be able to rock hard enough to tip it over until she's over 18 months. By that time, she'll be wanting to walk around and probably won't tolerate being left in it anymore in any case.
Death!!!1!!one might not be avoided. SteelyKid looks like she's sending Apa out to round up a rescue squad. How can you be sure that a SkyBison won't come back with the plushy equivalent of a drunken biker gang?
There's an idea for a new line from Gund: The AntiSocial Animals: a rabid wolverine, a starving grizzly, a coyote strung out on PCP, and a skunk with an anxiety disorder.
'K, now it's time to start the training. Each week, get an Apa that is a bit bigger and a bit heavier. Make sure she lifts it above her head. By the time she's 16, she'll be able to bench press a *live bison*, and you'll be rich from managing her bison-pressing career.
Cute, as always.
At about that age, my second son could leap from a Pack and Play in the time it took to walk down the hall from the guest room. It was very annoying. But I didn't know it would cause instant death -- does this mean that he's a zombie now? His classmates will be very pleased.
