first steps
While not technically his very first steps, these were among his first unaided steps. Basically what happened… One night when I was watching Toren alone (Debi had a late class), I was sitting on the ground and set him a few feet away from me, facing me. I then let go and told him to…

cars
Debi and Toren went out to Utah at the end of April to attend a funeral. While out there, Toren picked up some knowledge of cars from his cousin, Ethan. His grandmary was kind enough to send some cars back: For some reason I remain really impressed how quickly he picked up how to play…

watching The Daily Show in a box
I was helping someone with her computer and had the box that she had sent the computer in in the front room. Toren’s favorite show at the time (he’s now a fan of Sid the Science Kid) was on: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I’m not sure what possessed me (probably the same crazy…

walking with Debi
This is some footage of Toren walking while holding Debi’s hands. This was all he wanted to do from about 5 months until, well, he could walk on his own. He loves walking, but hates crawling, as you can see at the end of the video.

waiting to shower
When I shot this video Toren was just starting to pull himself up. I was trying to capture him pulling himself up on the little step into the shower. He didn’t cooperate, but he’s always cute:

bike ride
I took Toren for a bike ride yesterday and turned on my phone app to track it. Here’s the convoluted 7+ mile route: Here are the stats: Total Distance: 11.90 km (7.4 mi) Total Time: 55:48 Moving Time: 51:52 Average Speed: 12.81 km/h (8.0 mi/h) Average Moving Speed: 13.77 km/h (8.6 mi/h) Max Speed: 24.37…

pull-ups
Debi and I were eying our plump baby one day and thought, “Hmmm…. That kid needs to lose some weight.” So, we started him on an intense exercise regimen that begins with pull-ups every morning: (Disclaimer: We just do this for fun; we’re not trying to get Toren to lose weight! Just in case anyone…

Chin? Yum!
This is another video of Toren, but it’s very quick. I tried to capture him doing one of the weird things he did for just a short while – chewing on Debi’s chin. You have to look close at the very beginning of the video, but he’s chewing/sucking on Debi’s chin: We still don’t know…

talking and eating
I finally filled up another video tape with footage of Toren and transferred it all to my computer. So, my loyal blog readers, over the next couple of weeks you’ll get to see the latest batch of Toren videos. Today’s video is from February (yep, that’s how long the latest tape lasted; it seems as…
