Today's Toby

How can you pick whether buses or trains are more exciting?! Exactly. It can't be done.

When you insist that your best friend be allowed to join you in the stroller, and you hold them up so they can see everything for the entire trip. (Also..."Mom, are you filming this? Cut that out.") If you're getting this post via email, click on the post title to view the video.

Playing with Dad's phone and smiling when I see myself on his phone.

When your jammies are this stylish, you don't need to get dressed.

The fact that we're right on track developmentally.

When the baby swings are full, we upgrade.

Currently, the response to seeing anyone is to hide behind Mom or Dad. This is the view from above.

Let's just say, when a bunch of plastic eggs appear in your living room (filled with your favorite snacks), it's easy to forgive the weirdness of that pretty quickly. (Also, special thanks to the Ross family for such a dapper outfit!)

A little sunshine off the mailboxes. (Also, clearly a bit taller than our last mailbox photo from January. ) (From January)

"Mom, it only LOOKS like I stuffed 3 fistfuls of cheese into my mouth. I'm a very fast chewer. The situation is totally under control."

Soon enough I'm told this will give way to the "terrible twos" and being a "threenager", but for the moment a little glee. Also, "what are you looking at, Mom?"

We didn't get a good picture yesterday on Dad's birthday, but Mom took this photo earlier in the week. Happy Birthday Dad!

...hide the cutest smiles.

Hatching the plan. Making the deal. "I'm talking about moola." "You saw nothing, capisce?"

There is no sleeping without these prized possessions: Slumbers and Mom's nightshirt (which definitely doesn't belong to Mom any more.)

Logan and Toby were watching for trains and then one came!  Can you believe the luck?!!?!  Photo Credit: Birthday Buddy Logan's Mom. (Logan's birthday is August 29th)

It's a little small for a studio, but you can't beat the location.

Yesterday, in the tunnel. August of last year. 

Nope. No way. I don't think so. Oh, wait. There's a yogurt bite involved? Why didn't you say so? Of course I'm interested!

Toby had made it back this spring, but Daddy hadn't.  Shout out to Harry for the cool jacket!

Today's Toby's first GIF (thanks to Daddy's workplace). So cool!

Lydia is a few months younger than Toby, and they share a common love of the air purifier and snacks. But Toby is dubious about sharing the attention of his mom.

This friend is so old, he's nearly the same age as my mom and dad. But in spite of that, it was great fun to hold Mr. Joe's hand and show him around Manhattan.

What do you mean we're OUT of oregano?!?

I mean, it could very well be "Everyday with Elmo". But when you're best friends with someone this fun, it's understandable.

When Mom is working on a project, Daddy and Toby get extra "guy time".
