Bird Watching

Sawyer had his two week well-check today and his growth
report is as follows;
*Gained 1/2 inch in head circumference
*Grown 1/2 inch in length
*Gained 8 oz in weight

The concerns over his hospital weight loss no longer
exist, he has exceeded birth weight within two weeks.

We also saw the ENT specialist for his nose and tongue tie.
Bottom line the Rx was to feed and watch grow. His right
nostril is pretty plugged, but expected to open up with
growth. It is also expected that his nose cartilage will
continue to work itself back into place. And the tongue
tie is not severe enough to warrant concern at the moment.

How interesting is this picture??


So, after a very long day we were unwinding on the couch
when behind my head I hear some tapping on our
living room window. I quickly note that it's a bird. Curt
disagrees and tells me it's a bat. He goes outside to get
a closer look and as the words "shut the door" are coming
out of my mouth the little bird flies in. The picture above
is the bird perched on the INSIDE of our living room
window.

I tried to capture the moment while demanding Curt
get that bird OUT!!!

The hunt...


The chase...


The catch...

Sawyer laid back and watched the whole thing happen.
