our baby birds

The eggs have hatched and we have three tiny (and kind of) cute baby birds!

Baby Bird number 1 was born on May 23rd...

 On May 24th, Baby Bird number 2 joined the world... (this one must have  been super new, the egg shell was still there)

 Oops, busted!  Mama bird caught me in the play house... time for me to get out of there...

 But not before I got this cute picture!

 And on May 25th, Baby Bird number 3 was born (if you didn't notice, baby birds hatch in the order they were laid, one day apart... another interesting fact we learned about these baby robins)

We also discovered that once the babies were born, both the Mama Bird and the Daddy Bird take turns sitting with the babies and looking for food.  As soon as any of us step into the back yard, one of them is chirping at us and diving down trying to scare us off.  It's been kind of difficult to play outside this week (the rain hasn't help either), take Bella out to go potty, and since one of them is almost always there, it's difficult to get a new picture!

The babies will grow up fast and be out of their nest before we know it.  Hopefully (fingers crossed) I will get at least one more chance to get a picture of these babies.
