  • milestones

    This is actually Debi posting!  Therefore don’t expect this to be very funny. I am only posting because I haven’t done a very good job keeping track of Toren’s developmental milestones and I am feeling some maternal guilt about it so here are some approximations. Sitting upright without support (not leaning forward on his hands…

  • Toren sleeping on the job

    Toren was helping Debi clean the house one day (in the bjorn).  Debi handed him a hanger to hold for her.  He held it, but just couldn’t go on… He kept hold of the hanger though!

  • Toren’s latest game

    Toren has been eating solid foods since 4 months, but has recently not wanted to eat solid foods.  Instead, he takes the spoon and wipes the food all over himself:

  • Happy Holidays!

    From Toren, Santa’s new elf:

  • Toren has a drinking problem

    He likes to drink! He’s getting pretty good at drinking straight from a glass and from his sippy cup.  We don’t have footage yet, but Toren is also now moving all over the kitchen in his walker.

  • changing table jig

    Almost from when we brought Toren home he has done little jigs on his changing table while we dress him and change his diaper. I finally caught him doing his jig on film: Another question for parents out there: Do your kids hate getting dressed (or did they at Toren’s age)? He’ll cry while we…

  • I’ve fallen and I can’t get up

    This is a shot of Toren in that awkward stage where he is becoming mobile, but not enough to actually maneuver well:

  • Debi’s muscles

    Debi walked into the office today while I was holding Toren.  She was wearing a tanktop (yea Florida weather!) and I noted that I could see her ribs.  I’ve been telling her that she needs to gain weight (yep, that’s a man telling a woman she needs to gain weight).  She proceeded to try to…
