    A picture this time, not a video:

  • Toren and necklaces

    You may recall that Toren marched in the St. Pete Pride Parade a few months ago. While there he got a few beaded necklaces. He has now mastered putting them on and it isn’t uncommon to find him walking around the house like this:

  • couple more photos from our Europe trip

    I found a few more photos on my phone that I didn’t post earlier. The cruise ship had a casino, of course, and Toren found it. I don’t think you could make a more appealing toy for a toddler than a machine with tons of lights and buttons that makes lots of sounds. Toren must…

  • Toren develops breasts?!?

    Toren was playing with a couple of soft balls one day and, with a little help from yours truly, the balls ended up carefully positioned in his onesie. The result: A busty little 15 month-old:

  • Toren and Debi playing with a hat

    Here’s another clip of Toren on the merry-go-round at the zoo:

  • Toren on the merry-go-round

    Here’s a short clip of Toren riding the merry-go-round at the Tampa Zoo: We have a season pass, but it doesn’t include rides. However, they had a special event one night at which all the rides were free. Unfortunately, it had rained all day and the only ride that was running was the merry-go-round. So,…

  • Toren vs. watermelon

    Toren was trying to show off his muscles… The watermelon won.
