Tag: Toren

Okay, I have to admit I don’t know if this is unique or even if this is a good thing or bad thing, but Toren can devour a 2.5 oz tub of baby food lightning fast: Parents out there, is this normal? I don’t think he has suffered any ill effects from this, but it…

Toren’s quirks are funny (okay, that seems redundant, to call a “quirk” funny when quirky can mean funny… I digress). He was coughing for attention for a while. Now, he does this funky thing with his wrist where he’ll grab something and pump his wrist up and down. I think it started when he was…

Every Gerber “solid” food we’ve given Toren he has liked: carrots, green beans, peas, applesauce, squash, and sweet potatoes. But when we tried to make our own, Toren wasn’t interested: Granted, we probably didn’t do a great job preparing the carrots, but Toren’s ability to discriminate between home made food and prepared food is a…

I’ve mentioned several times now that Toren is into imitating what we do. He tried a banana this way, then caught Debi eating an apple one morning and wanted to do that, too: If you pay close attention you’ll be privy to Debi and me discussing Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, which, Debi correctly points…

Toren’s initially tepid response to “solid” food has been replaced with his new response – he eats like a shark, in huge gulps. And when the food doesn’t arrive fast enough, he’ll chomp on whatever else is around (watch the end of the video):

Finally, a video that shows off what our developing baby can now do. He rolls from his stomach to his back almost instantly. He can put his feet in his mouth (though he doesn’t much anymore). And he’s been able to spit out his binkie since pretty much day one (the launches in this clip…

Toren’s really taken to imitating us. Every time he sees us drink from a glass he wants to drink from a glass as well. I’m not sure where he got this behavior though: Maybe Debi drinks from bowls when I’m not around… 😉

Yeah, so, it’s a month and a half since Debi and Toren wore this, but here’s a clip of Debi and Toren dancing in their Halloween costumes:

I gave props to the inventor of the exersaucer earlier, but I have to show how enthralled Toren is by his exersaucer: He doesn’t always love his exersaucer, but some days he’ll spend 45 minutes to an hour playing in there.

This video shows another of Toren’s phases – coughing for attention. For about a month, Toren would fake cough to get our attention. He must have realized that we paid very close attention to him when he was really coughing, so he started fake coughing to get our attention. This clip also shows his new…
