Just wanted to give you a little update on our smallest family member.
Yes, this was indeed a newborn chick. I don't know where the egg went.
Momma keeping baby warm.
Growing baby.
First flying lessons: the pep talk. (Had to take these through the window as Mama kept flying away.) I was so convinced baby would fly. I sat with the kids for 20 minutes at the window waiting. Little did I know I'd still be waiting 5 days later.
Baby tests out those wings.
Okay...baby bird is getting seriously big. If he doesn't learn to fly soon, he's gonna bust our air conditioner.
These are from today - Dad is watching from the street lamp while Mom tries to urge baby onward. I can just imagine how the conversation is going.
"Now Junior. There comes a time in all of our lives when we have to leave the nest. You can't just stay at home with Mom and Dad the rest of your life. You need to take a step of faith here. Have courage. Go get a job. Find your own food. I'm not going to be able to regurgitate food for you forever. You can do it."
stay tuned.
