Tag: Toren

At some point right around the beginning of January Toren decided that he did not want to be spoon fed any more. This attempt to feed him basically sealed the deal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfEsG5KOgyM Since this incident, we’ve basically let him feed himself solid foods (he’s been pretty good at it for a while).

This is another clip of Debi bouncing a ball on Toren’s head to get him to laugh. We had friends over on New Year’s Eve and told them about this. They had to see it for themselves and are the ones you can hear laughing in the background.

We regularly have green beans as a vegetable accompaniment to dinner. Debi let Toren suck on a bean one night and was lucky to get it back:

Toren’s grandmother, Rosemary, bought him a walker when she was last here. Toren has liked sitting in it since he received it, but it wasn’t until about the end of December that he realized he could move in it. Here is some footage of him realizing he can move in the walker:

More videos coming soon… But, in the meantime, I just wanted to report on a conversation Debi and I had yesterday over dinner while Toren looked on, oblivious to our nefarious scheming. Debi noted that she gave Toren the crust from her toast that morning for breakfast and he ate it. She even claimed he…

For a while, this is what we would find in the morning when Toren would wake up. He’d be laying there either quietly or babbling to himself. Then, when we’d walk in, he’d start kicking to let us know he was excited to see us. Now, he usually wakes up and then cries to let…

The last video was a hilariously bizarre event. This video shows what I was trying to capture: the many faces Toren makes while pooping:

Toren makes funny faces when he poops.  So, I tried to film him pooping to catch some of those funny faces on film.  As I did so one day, I got this: I probably should have warned you that you shouldn’t watch this while eating or drinking anything as there is a good chance you’ll…
