This picture REALLY bothers me

I have some cute pictures of my son sticking out his tongue.  But this is different, even though the picture looks like the others - now he is sticking out his tongue and just holding it out.  It weirds me out!  Ever heard of a kid doing this?  Is he saying he is still hungry?  Is he dehydrated?  Ack!  Freaky!

He's just experimenting with the way it feels.

He's tasting the world. ;) Do you have a dog? He might be imitating. From all the pics you've posted, I wouldn't be worried about it.

BUT...

If you're really worried, and it's REALLY "all the time," here are a few possible reasons - and it's worth asking your pediatrician, if ONLY to put your own mind at ease:

I agree with Laurel, just a phase because he likes how it feels. I predict it will pass quickly!
If it makes you feel better, that's a good thing! My niece had tongue-tie and couldn't stick out her tongue. My sister had to have it clipped!

I agree with Laurel. Kids discover their body parts and what they can do with them. There's more fun to be had in the future.
