Debi put Toren into a onesie jumper outfit the other day only to realize at the end of her efforts that something was amiss:

We put Toren into this cute crab outfit his grandmother gave us only to realize that the shorts are enormous on him:

I was putting together my discussion notes for class tomorrow and was looking for pictures illustrating the conflict between Israel and Palestine.  I found this picture: It’s from a September 2003 Washington Post story.  The look on the man’s face as he carries the child away from danger tears me up.  It’s clear that he…

I certainly shouldn’t be proud of this shot, but I thought it was cute.  I was holding Toren after a feeding (we’re still trying to keep him upright for about 30 minutes after he eats to help his reflux).  I, of course, was watching Star Trek (we’re half way through Voyager, definitely the worst of…

For the last week or so, Toren has been talking up a storm.  I have some footage of it, but haven’t transferred it to my computer yet.  Once I do I’ll post it.  It’s just very cute to hear him “talk.”  He’s particularly fond of a mobile we put on his new crib.  He seems…

Okay, it’s not really “official” as there are no hard and fast criteria for what a “good” baby is, but he does seem like a “good” baby to us.  He rarely cries, and even when he does, it’s usually just small whimpers to tell us: (1) he’s tired, (2) he’s hungry, or (3) he needs…

My sister Wendy, with whose camera we took the earlier photo I posted of Toren as a card table, sent some additional photos from that night of wild Cragun canasta fun:

Now that Toren is a bit pudgy, we rarely see his neck. When he does stretch it out, he kind of looks like a turtle:
