Tag: Toren

Everything we do, Toren wants to do now. His favorite toys are our computer mice and keyboards (what does that say about us?). When he saw Debi eating a banana one morning, he wanted a turn:

Toren hasn’t realized that his reflection is him. Here he is playing with his doppelganger in the mirror:

Toren had his 6 months doctor’s visit on Friday. New stats: weight = 18lbs 10 ounces (75th percentile) height = 27 inches (75th percentile) head circumference = I forget the number, but it was 60th percentile By all counts he’s healthy (had 1 minor cold so far).  He is reaching for everything, is almost instantly…

He doesn’t always do this quite this calmly, but Toren loves to play with our faces. You know what that means: Fingers up the nose!

Ever since we heard and saw Toren really laugh, we’ve been trying to get him to really laugh again. Here I am pulling out all my tricks – stomach blowing, letting him pull my hair, bouncing him, letting him “fly”… Chortles… The dark meat of laughter. 🙁

Back to the droll videos… I noted in an earlier post that Toren rolled over from his stomach to his back first for my Mother while she was visiting us. She told me about it when I got home from work. So I pulled out the camera, put Toren on his stomach, and waited: Nothing!…

I know a lot of the videos I post on here are kind of lame, but our parents and family enjoy them and they don’t get to see Toren very often, so they are mostly for them. However, this video is a good one. Some mystical forces of nature must have aligned just right on…

I discussed this in an earlier post, but here’s footage of Toren eating his first “solid” food: As you can see, the food is far from “solid”.  It’s basically colored water.  As naive and anal parents, we followed the instructions on the rice cereal box exactly and what you see in the video is the…

Prior to trying solid food the first time, we put Toren in his highchair (another gift from our very generous friends) to let him get used to it.  He seemed to enjoy himself: He also proceeded to produce copious spit bubbles.  And I couldn’t help but think that he looked like a baby paratrooper with…

We sold our old stillshot camera (not our nice one, even though it was pretty nice) and bought a smaller, very portable camera (a Nikon).  It doesn’t take the best pictures (very high resolution, but a bit grainy and the color isn’t great), but it is small and it has the ability to record high-definition…
