Sad ending to 2009 🙁
We arrived home from a party at a colleague’s house Wednesday night and, even though I was tired, I was feeling good about the fact that I had almost finished my major project over the break – my pre-tenure review packet. So, I decided I’d spend an hour so playing my latest PC game –…

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:

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…
