This place has gone to the birds

"Come!!! see da Birds!!! my Birds!" This is what all the visitors hear from Cameron as soon as they walk in. A pair of doves built a nest in the flower box outside of Cameron's room. Jeff gave her a step stool and taught her how to scare away the mommy bird so she could see the babies. They hatched this week and it was amazing to see how big they got in a matter of days. She wants to see them every morning when she gets up, and as soon as she comes home (the poor Mommy bird).

In the backyard, its not only us who are enjoying the new landscaping. The fountain is a big hit with the neighborhood birds. We get the song birds and the humming birds whenever Jeff turns it on. Its nice to sit back there and watch them fly in and Cameron enjoys the visits too.

The backyard is very peaceful. Cameron is enjoying it tremendously. She had Hannah over for a play date and they played with the water table and painted. Cameron now likes to paint on her easel. Today she picked out orange and yellow and painted us a nice and bright picture. When we asked her if it was a sunny picture she said "Yes!"



The funniest thing that happened this week was Uncle Tim teaching Cameron to juggle. She was playing legos with Uncle Turtle when Tim started to juggle the legos. She was very interested so he decided to teach her to juggle. She was having a great time and it was so funny I had to get it on video. You are going to love the video.

Riley is a little more awake now. He is starting to get baby acne but fortunately we took him to get his portraits done before he really broke out (will be posted soon). When I say he is more awake its really relative. He still sleeping most of the day and I've started to take naps with him. I think he is a very good influence on me.
