Baby Pigeons! A co-worker in Bruce's clinic was gone for a few days and left her window open. When she got back to her office, she found a pigeon nest on her desk with a pigeon in it. The pigeon was chased outside, but she felt so bad about the nest that Bruce offered to take the nest home to see if the baby pigeons could be saved. So for the last couple of weeks, we've had a pigeon nest on our kitchen counter. Bruce read up on how to hatch and take care of baby pigeons and we've been very excited. However, they were supposed to hatch a couple of days ago, so we've kind of given up on them.
Seedlings! We've started Roma and jellybean tomatoes, jalapeno and bell peppers, basil, and broccoli from seed and are looking forward to transplanting them soon.
Myra! Myra seems to be in a constant growth spurt, it seems. We celebrated her half birthday a couple of weeks ago, thanks to Alice, who started the tradition.
Myra loved getting messy but didn't really ever try to eat the cake. She has been eating lots of baby food lately and just loves anything that is mixed with cereal.
Here she is with the giraffe Alice picked out as her present.
Myra had her 6 month appointment and it still off the charts for height, weight, and head circumference. She's now 22.5 lbs and 27.5 inches. To put this in perspective for weight, Myra is in the 95th percentile for a 9 month old. Also, Alice is only 8.5 lbs heavier than she is.
