Travel, Tech, Thoughts…

I was helping someone with her computer and had the box that she had sent the computer in in the front room. Toren’s favorite show at the time (he’s now a fan of Sid the Science Kid) was on: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I’m not sure what possessed me (probably the same crazy…

This is some footage of Toren walking while holding Debi’s hands. This was all he wanted to do from about 5 months until, well, he could walk on his own. He loves walking, but hates crawling, as you can see at the end of the video.

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:

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…

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…
