  • The World’s Meanest Dad

    Of all the footage I’ve shot so far, this clip is, by far, my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLla0Q3egIc Now, before you comment about how evil I am, I have to set up the shot. We put Toren on his play mat of terror a couple days earlier and, in an effort to get him to like it,…

  • the pen is the sword

    You may have heard that “the pen is mightier than the sword”. Not so for Toren. For Toren, the pen is the sword: I give him this on occasion to check his ability to grasp things. He’s come awfully close to poking his eye out more than once!

  • the play mat of terror

    Some good friends gave us a play mat for Toren. For some reason, every time we put him on it he freaks out: Maybe he’s still too young?

  • Streeetttccchhh!

    Toren loves to stretch when waking up… and when eating… and, well, all the time:

  • another father realization

    I could be completely wrong here, but it seems like there is something different about Toren’s eyes.  When he’s looking at me or at Debi, it looks like he understands – like there is some sense of recognition.  He seems… aware.  But when he’s just looking around at random stuff, his eyes seem glossy and…

  • Toren “walks over”

    For those following the blog, you may remember that Debi told Toren to “walk over” to her one evening to eat (she was tired). Well, a few days later I helped Toren do exactly that:

  • Toren’s a genius

    Here is Toren’s first blog post: iokjnuiujkcsjuikldkefrsd,kjchn kicjufvilkbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb mncv bajnhioerkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkdfvd jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjhn kmsssssssssssssssss nh vb jnnfcvgjb njhfducndfc8 vjk,mfcgv Never mind that it is completely unintelligible, he typed it with his feet!  How many bloggers out there can type with their feet? (Yeah, he probably already spends too much time in front of the computer…)

  • fingers don’t cut it

    Toren is learning pretty quick. I used to be able to fool him with a finger: Now, unless there is something yummy on that finger (e.g., SpriteZero), he’s not interested at all.

  • that wiley evolution!

    I posted Debi’s and my newborn photos a while back and asked people to vote for who they thought Toren looked the most like. Turns out, 2/3 of those who voted (pretty small sample, people) chose me (I’m parent #2). Now I find out that Toren looking like me is probably an evolutionary adaptation. Here’s…

  • Toren does cry

    Looking back at the earlier videos I posted of Toren none of them really showed him crying. So, we found a shot of crying just to prove he does: Of course, it is from June 29th, almost a month ago, and he hasn’t cried since then… (okay, that’s not true) But I did have it…
