Category: Toren

Toren’s really taken to imitating us. Every time he sees us drink from a glass he wants to drink from a glass as well. I’m not sure where he got this behavior though: Maybe Debi drinks from bowls when I’m not around… 😉

Yeah, so, it’s a month and a half since Debi and Toren wore this, but here’s a clip of Debi and Toren dancing in their Halloween costumes:

I gave props to the inventor of the exersaucer earlier, but I have to show how enthralled Toren is by his exersaucer: He doesn’t always love his exersaucer, but some days he’ll spend 45 minutes to an hour playing in there.

This video shows another of Toren’s phases – coughing for attention. For about a month, Toren would fake cough to get our attention. He must have realized that we paid very close attention to him when he was really coughing, so he started fake coughing to get our attention. This clip also shows his new…

Everything we do, Toren wants to do now. His favorite toys are our computer mice and keyboards (what does that say about us?). When he saw Debi eating a banana one morning, he wanted a turn:

Toren hasn’t realized that his reflection is him. Here he is playing with his doppelganger in the mirror:

Toren had his 6 months doctor’s visit on Friday. New stats: weight = 18lbs 10 ounces (75th percentile) height = 27 inches (75th percentile) head circumference = I forget the number, but it was 60th percentile By all counts he’s healthy (had 1 minor cold so far).  He is reaching for everything, is almost instantly…

He doesn’t always do this quite this calmly, but Toren loves to play with our faces. You know what that means: Fingers up the nose!

Ever since we heard and saw Toren really laugh, we’ve been trying to get him to really laugh again. Here I am pulling out all my tricks – stomach blowing, letting him pull my hair, bouncing him, letting him “fly”… Chortles… The dark meat of laughter. 🙁

Back to the droll videos… I noted in an earlier post that Toren rolled over from his stomach to his back first for my Mother while she was visiting us. She told me about it when I got home from work. So I pulled out the camera, put Toren on his stomach, and waited: Nothing!…
