It's been a really busy week, so I'm too fried to do anything but a really basic Baby Blogging picture. So here's SteelyKid with Appa and some of her many other toys:
The biggest recent milestone is that she's started eating actual food-- pieces of cereal, little dried banana puffs, and that sort of thing. It gives me hope that someday we will be done with stinky formula...

Long-time readers will remember that I used to do weekly kid-blogging, posting pictures of SteelyKid with a reference animal, Appa the sky-bison from the Avatar cartoon. I stopped a couple of years ago, because SteelyKid started being reluctant to pose for the pictures every week.
I got her to pose…
SteelyKid says, "Yay, Movable Type Upgrade!"
ScienceBlogs as a whole is having some work done under the hood, upgrading the back end that we use to manage all the blogs. The system is highly customized, so it's going to take a while-- the site will be static (in the sense of "not changing," not "…
So, a couple of months ago, I said I was taking some time off from the blog, and wasn't sure I would make it back. What was up with that, anyway?
Well, for one thing, I had a bunch of stuff to work on, and needed the extra time. I wrote a proposal for a third book that's being shopped around now,…
Fashion's been on our minds this week, what with the whole Rock Stars of Science thing rolling out yesterday, so this week we have SteelyKid modeling the latest in toddler headgear:
This was the culmination of a game that started with her putting her napkin on her head, and declaring it a hat. We…
Having raised two daughters, I can say that with great liklihood, as Steelykid's innards adjust to more solid food, you will become aware of whole new worlds of stinky beyond formula.
Only lasts a little while, though.
Oh yeah: I like your use of APPA as a size-standard: I just sent one to my Daughter and Newborn Grandson.
Yay, baby blogging! Yay, Steelykid! I missed seeing her, yesterday.
Basic is fine. Each picture doesn't have to be more elaborate than the last. We just like watching her grow.
Thank you for these pictures. I look forward to them every week.
As for the solid food, try giving her pieces of fresh banana, both of our daughters took to them right away at about that age. By about 10 months, they both could ingest an entire banana at a single sitting, it was impressive to watch.
If nothing else, she'll probably enjoy squeezing bananas and watching them extrude between her fingers.
I agree with the frog... you don't know what stinky is yet. You're also in for the most frustrating 18 years of your life... we spend the first two years desperately teaching them to walk and talk and the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
On a lighter note, she's a great looking kid and I do enjoy seeing and reading about other peoples' kids.
Our first little mugwump was fond of raw tofu, cubed.
It was slightly squashy and totally bland. She loved it.
Also, I presume Emmy is eager to volunteer for clean-up crew when it comes to whatever is dropped/hurled/flung from the tray?
That's when I really wished we had a dog . . .
