Today's Toby

Finally! I get to push my own stroller! (And no, I do not want any help, Mom.)

Hence forth, I shall be know as Green Beard the Pirate. Ahoy!

Periodically, people perform their various musical acts on the subway. Fortunately, he's recently discovered how to put his fingers in his ears.

Just the basics. If you're getting this post via email, click on the post title to view the video.

Loving our new "future voter" stickers!

...like the prize winning pony at the Kentucky Derby.

Kicked Dad out of the chair so I could read to Slumbers.

Beetlebug Blue! Toby: 1 Dad: 0

Come home soon, Mom!  

I'm trying to take a serious picture and Mom keeps crashing my party. 

Sometimes you're so cute, the neighbors stop to take your picture. Special thanks to Cina for the great shots, Jonathan for the great hat, and Great Aunt Barb for the spiffy outfit (from when Toby was first born).

Look I love Cheez-its as much as the next toddler, but you've got to throw some graham crackers in there at some point or you're only fooling yourself.

There might be a casserole in need of rescuing.

A shout out to all the great Dad's we've known and loved. Thanks for keeping us safe and dry through all kinds of weather.

If I push this button with all my might the music will stop! Woah! The music stopped.  I have superfingers! Like I said, stick with me.

A nap can work wonders. 

Crossing the street with Elmo and an umbrella. (Fear not. Elmo was safe the whole time. The street was temporarily closed off.)

After all the rehearsing, a jam session for a friend. If you're getting this post by email, click on the post title to view the video. (I don't think I could love the still for this video more.)

Ding, ding, ding!

Isn't life grand?

I believe this is the face of "that's not fair!" I imagine we'll see this expression a few more times in the coming years.

When you arrive home and there's a whole welcoming committee in the lobby!

Most of the noise from children's toys is annoying. Occasionally, it's worth it. If you're getting this post via email click on the post title to view the video. 

Look Mom! I undid my shoe! Mom, my shoe's undone! I need you to fix it.

Thanks for taking me to the park, Dad. Dad, look a... Holy moly, what IS that? That's a place where they make salads. Pretty sure I'm not supposed to eat vegetables. Seriously, we should go now. Those are bad news.

Just agreeing to mutually ignore each other while we recline on the couch. (Special thanks to Vern for being such a chill host.)

Come on, Dad! Follow me!

The neighborhood looks totally different from up here!
