Baby Birds

A few days ago, we found a small baby bird on our deck. We have a nest on our deck, so I assumed he fell out. I researched online for awhile, and since he had feathers, it said not to touch him or put him back in the nest, but to leave him alone. I put down a little towel in case he got cold. Last I saw he has hopping around on the deck but he is not on the deck anymore...he was teetering right on the edge of the deck (we live on the second floor), and I am afraid he fell off, but his parents kept flying by and landing by him. I can only hope he made it back in the nest.

Today I heard little chirping outside so I peeked out and saw the mom bird feeding three little birds still in the nest. It's been fun for the kids and I to watch them. I had to take the pictures through the window and keep a distance because the mom flies away if she hears or sees anything close.

Here is the little bird sticking his head out chirping

Then the mom (or dad I suppose) comes and lands and watches for awhile, and when they think it is safe, they feed the little birds.

It's been raining all week, so we finally pulled out some old rain boots. Tyrel had fun with them.

Mikelle will only sleep with this little unicorn that my mom sent in the mail for her a few weeks ago. She named the unicorn 'Emily'.

I took this video of Jonah. I made some play dough and he loved it and was just playing with it talking up a storm at the table.
