  • couple more photos from our Europe trip

    I found a few more photos on my phone that I didn’t post earlier. The cruise ship had a casino, of course, and Toren found it. I don’t think you could make a more appealing toy for a toddler than a machine with tons of lights and buttons that makes lots of sounds. Toren must…

  • Toren develops breasts?!?

    Toren was playing with a couple of soft balls one day and, with a little help from yours truly, the balls ended up carefully positioned in his onesie. The result: A busty little 15 month-old:

  • Toren driving

    Over the last month or so Toren has started to want to climb into the front seats of our cars and pretend to drive. He also pushes every button he can find. Since the cars aren’t on, we don’t really care. Here’s a clip of him driving my car:

  • Toren and Debi playing with a hat

    We’ve been trying to get Toren to wear hats pretty much since he was born. As soon as he could pull them off he started doing so. We pulled his hats out a little while ago and tried to get him to wear them again. No luck. But he did think it was funny when…

  • Toren on the merry-go-round

    Here’s a short clip of Toren riding the merry-go-round at the Tampa Zoo: We have a season pass, but it doesn’t include rides.

  • Toren vs. watermelon

    Toren was trying to show off his muscles… The watermelon won.

  • The Zoo

    Because we’re workaholics yet want to spend time with Toren, we’ve worked out our weekends so Debi has Toren in the morning until 1:00 while I work and then I have him from 1:00 until he’s ready to go to bed around 8:00.  That’s usually when I take him hiking or biking.  To add a…

  • Toren’s a little advanced for his age

    I let Toren play in the passenger seat of the rental car while we were in Oregon to keep him busy while I got the backpack ready.  He loved it and remembered it, so I let him play in the passenger seat in my car one day.  Debi went a step further and let him…

  • Toren’s picked up body modding

    So I mentioned that we’re well on our way to getting our money’s worth out of the annual zoo pass we bought.  During one of those visits, the staff at the zoo was handing out rub on tattoos.  Here’s Toren showing off his tat’: Hardcore, huh?
