Toby, The Name

When folks ask what our baby's name is, we say "Toby", then wait for one of the 3 standard follow-up comments. Saying his name to a first-time meeter of The Tobe always gets one of these 3 retorts...

(1) That's a cute name, he
looks like a Toby!
(2) Well
that's different, I don't think I've ever met a Toby before...
(3) Wow, that's
crazy! I have a dog named Toby!

Apparently, this has gotten in Tobe's head recently. He thinks he's a dog.
Scott Rust would be so proud...
I stuck my tongue out at him one time just for fun. It made him laugh. And now, he thinks he's a dog. A very cute dog, I might add...

Many thanks go out to Grandma Goodridge for watching The Tobe tonight, enabling the wifey and I to enjoy a very pleasant evening at the Bengals-Texans game at GABP. The Bengals won, 14-0. Wait... no... scratch that... it was the
Reds beating the Astros, 14-0. Dern football scores...
Here's one last pic... go ahead everyone... 1, 2, 3... "Awwwwwww...."

soooo... is his mouth and tongue stuck like that? or is this somthing we can fix?
this could lead to some problems down the road.
or is this just what he does when he wants food? come on man, feed that kid. he's melting away to nothing.

Man, I guess he was around to hear people say they had dogs named Toby...he finally learned what a dog was...and now he's acting the part. Good luck with that one, what kids learn early on tend to stick!! :)
