Baby Bird

Yesterday, when Shane came home from work, he saw a baby bird on the ground and took Carter out to see it. That explained the loud chirping I'd heard all day long outside. Shane said the mother bird was flying around frantically above, but we shouldn't do anything because it was "the circle of life" playing out.

Fast forward to this afternoon. I heard the chirping even louder, and to my surprise, when I looked out the window, I saw the little birdie right outside on our window ledge! Carter woke up from his nap just then and I took him in to show him the baby bird. You should have hear how cute he says "beebee burd!" After a while, Carter suddenly moved too fast toward the bird and scared it right off the window ledge -- I know you are thinking that's terrible, but it didn't fall, it flew! We were so happy for our little bird. Carter couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the night! Here are some cute pictures of the baby bird and Carter:
