Those are the first pass typeset proofs for the book, which just arrived in the mail today. Aren't they adorable?

Oh, okay, fine. You're just here for the conventional cute baby pictures:

SteelyKid's rapidly expanding bag of tricks now includes standing up. More or less. She can haul herself up into a standing position more often than not, and can steady herself on solid objects. Kate's ready to catch her if she falls, but not really holding her in this picture.

She doesn't really crawl in the usual way, but she can scoot around surprisingly quickly with one leg sort of folded under her. It's hard to describe, and works a lot better than you would think.

It's hard to believe that even six months ago, she could only lie where she was put...

She just bought two pairs of new shoes.
Yesterday was the funeral for my great-aunt Mildred, known within the family as "Auntie" (first syllable "ont" not "ant"), who fell and bumped her head last Friday, and just never woke up.
I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. Her name is Suzette. She's a very nice girl. She likes to talk - something, it turns out, she's very good at.
Today, I had to take care of some cats for a vacationing NYCer, so this meant that I had to brave the snow, slush and Lake Erie-sized mud-puddles in the process.

The book looks good, but Steelykid is far cuter.

I already put the book on my list on Amazon.

You could do more videos with the Emmy! That's as good as a Steelykid video.

Cutest picture yet!
