Wheeee!

I'm working on a badly-neglected project this morning, so here are a couple of pictures of SteelyKid from yesterday's trip to the park. (You can see more in my Flickr sets, linked at left.) This one gets you the basic idea of what it's like taking a very active toddler to the playground:

Finish one thing, and run determinedly toward the next thing...

(This also shows off her awesome "S is for Space Ship" shirt, which is a little big on her, but then, it's a 24-month size, a full nine months ahead of her nominal size. It's also from the boys' department, because girl-toddler clothes all suck.)

The "next thing" being run toward included a couple of trips down the slide:

I know she looks more determined than happy in this picture, but I swear, she was enjoying herself very much.

And there's your cute-baby-picture bribe for the day. Which lets me get back to trying to get some work done while Kate and SteelyKid are off at Babysaurus buying supplies...

SteelyKid has extremely fine hair that doesn't grow very quickly. While this leads many people to mistake her for a boy (that, and the fact that a lot of her play clothes are from the boys' section at Target, because lots of girl-toddler outfits are ridiculously impractical), it does lend itself to…
Many apologies for posting this week's cute toddler picture twelve hours late, but we had a little bit of a meltdown last night, thwarting my plans to get a cute picture after SteelyKid had her bath. She's cutting some new molars (I swear, she's part shark, with all the teeth she's getting), and it…
... because SteelyKid is a baby on the move, and she moves fast: SteelyKid spent a long weekend with Kate's mom, and we went down there yesterday to pick her up. This picture, snapped during a playground visit this morning, gives you some idea of her energy level. Accordingly, Kate and I are both…
After a long service outage, our home Internet is back, and I can post Baby Blogging pictures. Of course, it's not as easy to get those as it used to be, because SteelyKid is always on the move these days: You pretty much have to hold her in place to keep her in the frame: (This picture also…

She is so cute. My son has the same look when he is running between his "projects."

I wish I could get all those cute clothes for my son too.

I wish I could have found cute clothes like that for my boys too. I had/have to shop in the girls section to find primary colors that don't have things like "little slugger" written on them.

I love the determination of toddlers. She's great. And as a former children's clothing manufacturer I can tell you there is no standard for sizing.

I love each and every picture of SteelyKid! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
