Super Toren
Here’s a shot of Toren practicing his tummy time. He looks like he’s about ready to launch into the air:
-
naked (mostly) and happy
We stripped Toren down to his diaper and set him on the couch. We think he’s going to be a nudist one day – he loves being undressed:

Toren as Card Table
While in Utah I wanted to show off Toren’s response to laying on his stomach – usually he kicks his legs like crazy and cries. So, while playing cards, I put a blanket on the table and laid Toren on his stomach. However, this time, rather than kick like a mad man and cry, he…

Ubuntu: Getting Streamzap PC Remote Control working with Ubuntu and Boxee

smiles
Reaching another developmental milestone that is also likely tied to evolutionary adaptation, Toren started smiling at around 7 weeks. I didn’t find a great reference for this, but the suggestion is that, just as the parents are getting so sleep-deprived and annoyed with their child to the point that they regret their decision, their newborn…

Johny Turner?
Toren has a Johny Jumper (a.k.a. Johny Jump-up). Unfortunately, at this point he has only mastered the art of turning:

wrestling Toren to Sleep
For some reason Toren doesn’t go to sleep easily when I’m holding him. When Debi is holding him, he pretends like he’s hungry, but he doesn’t cry or fight. When I hold him, he cries and wrestles: Here’s another version of Toren doing this: Turns out, I have since found a way to significantly reduce…
