  • cat problem and innate morality

    Our neighbors to the east of us recently moved out (they were renting).  In the last couple of months before they moved out, we think they adopted a young cat.  They may not have and the cat may have just showed up recently, but it seemed to spend a lot of time in their yard,…

  • Toren on toys at Boca Ciega Park

    I took Toren for a hike in Boca Ciega Millenium Park in mid-October. After our hike (about 45 minutes), I let him loose on the toys there. Here are some videos of him going down slides (he loves slides) and swinging (not a big fan):

  • Toren dancing

    Toren can dance. Okay, well, he can’t dance very well yet, but when you play music and ask him to dance, he… um… moves. I missed filming the best moves he pulled one day (moving his arms up and down), but here is a clip of him dancing to the intro music from Big Bang…

  • Toren at the zoo with the manatees

  • Toren and Debi rocking and reading

    Here’s a cute little video of Toren and Debi in our rocking chair reading a book together:

  • blinking to smile

    I told Toren to smile for these photos.  What did I get?

  • Toren update

    While I’ve been posting pictures and videos, I haven’t actually written much about what Toren has been doing lately.  Language-wise, he knows a few words that he repeats regularly – “dada,” “mama,” “bye,” “ball,” etc.  He also occasionally says words but rarely when we ask him too.  Tonight he said “parrot” after I told him…
