How can you not give him more?
I was never really a fan of newborn babies. They always kind of looked like chimps to me: Of course, everyone always told me I would change my mind when I had my own child. I hate it when everyone is right and I’m wrong! Anyway, I think what really did it was when I…

karmic hiccups
While I don’t actually believe in karma, I’m going to pretend it exists for the sake of this video. Just before I shot this I changed Toren’s diaper. He urinated on me for the 4th time (we now have a shield on the changing table to prevent him from hitting us when he lets loose).…

Toren photos and a comic
First, a couple photos from the hospital. Here is Toren sleeping with the cookies Debi’s family sent: They may not have filled him up, but they kept Debi happy. Here’s a shot of Toren’s first feeding and diapering sheet: We were supposed to track every time he ate, what he ate, whether he had a…
