I took Toren for a ride in the car while I ran some errands.  I took Debi’s car as it is easier to get him in and out in his rear-facing car seat in a 4 door car than in my 2 door.  On the way to our first stop, Toren reached up with his…

As I noted in my post yesterday, Toren’s favorite activity these days is walking around with our help.  On the weekends, Debi and I take turns watching Toren so the other person can work.  Toren is perfectly happy playing with me, but he periodically wants to go see Debi.  So, he’ll occasionally grab my fingers…

Toren’s favorite activity these days is to walk.  He holds our fingers and walks all over the place.  He’s hilarious in how he goes about this.  When he is ready to walk, he puts his hands up near his ears, which is his way of communicating to us that he is ready for our fingers…

This is footage of Toren playing with one of his favorite toys, the ceiling fan controls in our office:

Toren started waving a few weeks before this, but we couldn’t ever catch him on film. I did this night, but it was so dark, I switched the camera to night mode and ended up turning Toren into a demon child (his eyes are creepy). Even so, he’s waving:

This is a clip of Toren actually enjoying his Johnny Jumper:

Debi put Toren down for bed this night but Toren wasn’t going to have any of it. In his best baby babble, he told her what he thought of being put to bed (turn your audio up, and no, there isn’t anything to see; it was too dark to film):

Toren’s first tooth just broke through his gums.  It’s a front tooth on the bottom.  The other front teeth are close to breaking through, but have not yet.  Dang those buggers are sharp!

This was in the middle of Toren’s non-stop cold. We couldn’t wipe his nose fast enough and this time, wiping it just spread the boogers around:

This is a clip showing Toren storing food in his cheeks. You have to look closely, but he is storing food in his cheek: FYI, he doesn’t do this as often as he used to.
