  • Toren…

    Toren’s new daycare brings in a professional photographer every so often to take candid photos of the kids.  They then print the best photos and put them on display so you can purchase them.  We didn’t think we’d be interested, but we decided to look at the photos anyway just to see.  When I stopped…

  • playing with wipes

    Another of Toren’s new favorite activities: pulling all the wipes out of the holder and throwing them everywhere:

  • Carol, the bear

    Toren really hasn’t been that interested in stuffed animals or dolls of any sort.  At least, he wasn’t until about a month ago when he, unprompted, picked up his bear, Carol (named after the person who gave it to him) and decided to play with her.  He started out wrestling her, then going for a…

  • Toren opening presents

    While I’m not sure Toren understands the idea of “presents” yet, he does now understand how to open them.  Some friends sent him some gifts and we took a couple pictures of him opening them to illustrate: Toren also has a test he puts most of his new toys through.  It’s kind of like the…

  • Toren and the stroller

    Toren is deeply in love… with his stroller.  He loves to ride in his stroller.  And now he has something new to do with it: climb into the storage compartment, which is a perfect fit for him.  He figured this one out on his own the other day and we find him just hanging out…

  • Toren’s “cute” face

    While Toren still doesn’t say much, he understands more and more.  One thing he started doing recently is making his “cute” face.  I’m not sure where he got this, but when you ask him if he’s cute, he scrunches up his face into a cute little smile.  I finally caught it on tape while he…

  • Toren-isms

    I was headed out the door this past Saturday to go shopping and was taking Toren with me.  I had him in my arms.  As I opened the door and was ready to leave, I told Toren to blow Debi a kiss.  He did.  Then I asked him for a kiss.  He took the one…

  • Utah trip – January 6th

    We spent the morning of the 6th packing up, then flew home. Our flight from Utah left around 2:00.  We ate lunch before we went to the airport, but needed to pick up dinner in Houston.  Since we didn’t have much of a layover, we grabbed Subway sandwiches on the way to our connection.  We…

  • Utah trip – January 4th

    We had also talked about going skiing/snowboarding while out there with Debi’s brother-in-law, Brent, who is currently waiting for training for a new plane at Delta, which means he gets to go skiing a lot.  I ended up going with him on the 4th.  I had to rent a snowboard, and it had been almost…

  • Utah Trip – December 30th

    I managed to schedule a HALO party on Debi’s birthday (my bad), but Debi was a good sport about it.  Her parents took her to one of her favorite restaurants for lunch – Marie Calendars – then we drove up to Morgan for the HALO party.  The party didn’t start until 6:30, so we did…
