  • What Happens When You Have Scientists for Parents…

    Debi wasn’t a huge fan of this game/experiment, but I thought it was intriguing: (Note: No Torens were harmed in the making of this film!)

  • Debi – Queen of the Geeks

    Debi and I have never been the type to shy away from the label “geek.”  We are geeks and we wear that label with pride: we like our science and we like our science fiction.  But leave it to Debi to out-geek most other geeks by comparing her son to a Talosian: (You, too, can…

  • Come Walk Over

    Toren was laying on the couch next to his grandmother and was starting to wake up. Debi was sitting on the loveseat where she usually sits to feed him. I was standing over Toren waiting for him to wake up all the way so I could take him over to Debi to eat. Debi, short…

  • How To Be A Terrible Parent: 101

    Sometimes, as a parent, you just do what works…

  • sorry, no one told me

    Apparently no one was able to access the video of Debi’s Amazing Belly because I set it to private on Youtube. My bad! Next time, someone please tell me. You can access it now:

  • squat-sleeping

    I’ve already posted a bunch of pictures of Toren sleeping.  But I liked these…  He will sleep for hours on us, but this was a new approach – he would squat next to us then lay his body on us.  He slept for about 2 hours like this on Debi: Eventually Debi had to get…

  • feeding the baby

    Here’s another shot from our trip to Clearwater to see the Scientologists:

  • Grandmary arrives!

    Debi’s Mom, Rosemary (a.k.a. Grandmary; her dad, Gary, is “Grandgary” to the grandkids), flew in yesterday.  She’s visiting for about a week (I’ll take some photos while she’s here, but haven’t yet).  I just have to note that her knowledge of babies has already proven invaluable.  While I’ve been posting mostly cute pictures of Toren,…

  • umbilical cord free!

    I’m not really posting stuff when it happens; this shot is almost a week old… I woke up on the 20th to take over from Debi and when I went to change Toren’s diaper, something was different: no umbilical cord.  It came off during the night on Debi’s watch.  I’ll snap a shot of his…

  • the heat leech

    A close second to eating in the hierarchy of things Toren loves is sleeping, but not just sleeping, sleeping on one of us.  Debi took a couple pictures of the heat leech on me the other day: He had been sleeping there for a good hour at this point and I think slept here an…
