waiting to shower
When I shot this video Toren was just starting to pull himself up. I was trying to capture him pulling himself up on the little step into the shower. He didn’t cooperate, but he’s always cute:

bike ride
I took Toren for a bike ride yesterday and turned on my phone app to track it. Here’s the convoluted 7+ mile route: Here are the stats: Total Distance: 11.90 km (7.4 mi) Total Time: 55:48 Moving Time: 51:52 Average Speed: 12.81 km/h (8.0 mi/h) Average Moving Speed: 13.77 km/h (8.6 mi/h) Max Speed: 24.37…

pull-ups
Debi and I were eying our plump baby one day and thought, “Hmmm…. That kid needs to lose some weight.” So, we started him on an intense exercise regimen that begins with pull-ups every morning: (Disclaimer: We just do this for fun; we’re not trying to get Toren to lose weight! Just in case anyone…

Chin? Yum!
This is another video of Toren, but it’s very quick. I tried to capture him doing one of the weird things he did for just a short while – chewing on Debi’s chin. You have to look close at the very beginning of the video, but he’s chewing/sucking on Debi’s chin: We still don’t know…

talking and eating
I finally filled up another video tape with footage of Toren and transferred it all to my computer. So, my loyal blog readers, over the next couple of weeks you’ll get to see the latest batch of Toren videos. Today’s video is from February (yep, that’s how long the latest tape lasted; it seems as…

opening presents
Okay, this is pretty much overkill on video, but I figured I’d post these for the hard core Toren lovers out there (i.e., his grandparents), since it’s highly unlikely anyone else will sit and watch 25 minutes of Toren. Here are three clips of Toren “opening” presents (really Toren playing with presents after Debi opened…

Ryan on the radio
Thanks to my appearances on the local media recently about the pill mills, I was invited to be a guest on a local radio show: Prescription Addiction Radio. I was on for about 20 minutes last Sunday. I just checked the website to see if the show is available for people to listen to, but…

toys that don’t work very well for 1 year-olds
We had some cans of Sprite left over from Toren’s birthday party. I didn’t think too much about simply leaving them out on the floor as we hadn’t decided what to do with them yet. Over the last couple of days, Toren found the box, pulled out a few cans, and has spent a little…

Toren eating his cake
Apparently the “thing to do” at a first birthday party is to give your kid some of the cake and let him/her just go at it, smearing it all over him/herself. I’ve been cued in to this tradition by various friends with kids who all have the pictures to prove to me this is, in…

Toren’s Birthday Party – singing Happy Birthday
We had a dozen or so friends come over for Toren’s first birthday on Saturday. There was only one child who is close to Toren’s age. The rest were our friends. Here’s the invite I put together for the party via a very cool evite alternative called pingg.com (strongly recommend it over evite.com): We basically…
