We haven’t started trying to potty train Toren as he hasn’t shown all that much interest in it.  But it does seem like he can tell at this point when he needs to mictorate or defecate, and it seems like he can control.  However, he gives no warning as to when he’s going to do…

It’s fascinating to see what Toren picks up just by watching us.  We certainly try to teach him things, but observing us seems to have a bigger influence – at least at present. We gave Toren a small box to play with the other day.  In playing with it, he wanted to open it, but…

As I noted in a previous post, Toren has taken an interest in flowers.  Here he wandered into one of our neighbor’s yards to pick some wildflowers:

Occasionally Toren will march.  His march is a little strange as it primarily consists of flicking his right leg out really far, but not his left.  I caught it on video one day while on a walk:

On a walk one day Toren spotted a caterpillar crawling across the sidewalk.  We stopped to let Toren see it:
