Actually, this ought to be "Wednesday Morning Baby Blogging," as that's when the picture was taken. Kate and I are going to New York City for the weekend, though, and SteelyKid is spending the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa in Scenic Whitney Point. So, you get an early picture, posted late: This…
Welcome to this very-carefully-posed edition of Thursday Toddler Blogging: That's Kate and SteelyKid reading The Cat in the Hat,shot from a slightly odd angle so as to hide the wicked shiner that SteelyKid is sporting, thanks to a tumble down the stairs on Tuesday morning (while I was getting…
For this week's Baby Blogging, we have a shot of Kate helping SteelyKid with her new favorite game: It's called "Take off my shoes, and put them back on." She can play this for hours. It would be even cuter if she could do the putting on and taking off herself, but alas, she's still kind of…
It's really getting difficult to get good Baby Blogging pictures, now that SteelyKid is mobile. We've had to resort to trying to sneak Appa into the background when she pauses to regroup by chewing on an outgrown outfit: That's not the best Appa-for-scale picture, I know, but it's tough. This one…

That is an absolutely adorable picture. I love the uncensored joy that infants and toddlers have. If you or I as adults showed that much glee, we'd be put in a home.

My then about 14 month old daughter and I conducted an interesting physics experiment with a set of stairs one day. She was walking out of her bedroom with me right beside, swiftly pivoted and took one giant step into space at the top of the stairs. We proceeded to establish that, even though my mass was over 10 times hers, a free falling (well, bouncing and rolling)baby will always be just a little bit ahead of her dad, given a half second head start.

All was well at the bottom of the stairs, fortunately. (You do have a soft, thick rug at the bottom of your stairs, don't you?) And the daughter, all goes well, will be graduating from NYU in the spring.
