Thursday Baby Blogging 060310

I sometimes get comments asking why so many of the baby blogging pictures are taken from above.

SteelyKid, like Emmy, interprets "Daddy near ground level" as "time to play" and comes charging over to me. It's usually dumb luck if I manage to get the camera up before she pounces on me.

So, if you want Appa-for-scale images, you're generally stuck with shots from above:

Fortunately, she's still cute from that angle.
