Toren’s first tooth just broke through his gums.  It’s a front tooth on the bottom.  The other front teeth are close to breaking through, but have not yet.  Dang those buggers are sharp!

This was in the middle of Toren’s non-stop cold. We couldn’t wipe his nose fast enough and this time, wiping it just spread the boogers around:

This is a clip showing Toren storing food in his cheeks. You have to look closely, but he is storing food in his cheek: FYI, he doesn’t do this as often as he used to.

When Toren gets tired, toys lose their appeal. He throws them to the side. You can see that in this video:

While playing with toys, Toren will occasionally have weird spasms where he will kind of clench up and shake things. We caught one on film in this clip, though you can’t see it very well.

I came up with a little game to test whether or not Toren had developed object permanence:

This is an edited video of a couple of clips of Toren attempting to crawl. He’s much better at this now (army man style, not on his knees), but this was just as he was learning how:

This is a clip of Toren at the height of his successive colds, which ended up being a sinus infection. It’s more sad than anything as you can see how hard it is for him to breath and can tell he just wasn’t feeling well:

This is another shot of Toren using his pincer grasp to feed himself. He’s an expert at this now, but early on he struggled with getting the food into his mouth. Oh, he also does some funky leg kick thing in the second half of the video. Not sure what that’s all about.
