Boyd Hill Nature Preserve
Toren and I went for another hike last Sunday. This time it was to Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg. I couldn’t really get a good sense of what to expect from the website. Basically, there is a learning center and a nature preserve on Lake Maggiore. Once you’re in the preserve, you’d never…

playing in poop
The last month or so around our house hasn’t been the greatest. Debi came down with an ear infection. Toren likely had one at the same time, but we didn’t realize it right away. Eventually they were both on antibiotics and each of them tried multiple antibiotics before they found anything that seemed to work.…

walking
It’s been a crazy week (more on this later), but Toren is now walking! Yep, he is able to stand up by himself (without pulling up on anything) and walk. I literally just watched him do it. (I’ll post footage at some point.) He’s still pretty unstable and he cruises whenever he can, but he…

walking
I’ve mentioned that Toren loves to walk – that’s all he wants to do with us. He now does it holding on to one finger with one hand so he can use the other to carry stuff around. Last Wednesday, the day I pick Toren up from daycare, I watched him let go of his…

Toren scare
Debi came down with an ear infection last week. Toren likely came down with it at the same time, but it took us a bit longer to recognize his symptoms. Debi took him into the doctor and the doctor prescribed a strong antibiotic. Given how he was feeling, we decided not to send him to…

hiking with Toren
In preparation for a trip this summer, we picked up a baby backpack. I spent quite a while looking at packs online and eventually went with the Deuter Kid Comfort III. It’s expensive, but thanks to one of our credit cards we get REI credit, so we didn’t pay very much for it. And, well,…

Toren’s guide to “how to sleep anywhere”
I’ve been trying to take Toren out on the weekends either for hikes or bike rides. I took him out a couple weekends ago for a rather lengthy bike ride (about 2 hours). He fell asleep on the way home and when we got home this was what he looked like: My favorite part is…

sunburn
I took Toren to a Renaissance Fair a few weeks ago. I lathered us both up with baby sunscreen. The result: No more baby sunscreen for this guy!

happy in his diaper
We let Toren hang out in his diaper these days now that the weather is hotter. The other day he toddled over to me and gave me this winning smile: If you look close, you can see his one tooth that has broken through.

look ma, no hands
Toren has stopped stuffing his cheeks when he eats, but he’s started something new. He now puts stuff on his head. It started with his sippy cup: Then, just to prove it wasn’t a fluke, he did it again: The last few days, he’s been putting food on his head. Um, yeah, whatever makes him…
