Baby Birds and Baby Dolls

These are the baby swallows we let nest on our front window. Thought it would be fun for Isley to watch them grow and perch on our window seal. They just barely started coming out of their nest and doing this. The parents sometimes get a little fired up and dart around, but no attacks yet.
She has been on love with swimming this summer. If she sees her suit- she insists on wearing it, over all her clothes.

So big news....we are welcoming a little bundle of joy at the end of January!!!! I was sick for about 9 weeks, but am finally getting over that. It was bad- vegetables were not appealing at all, nor were most foods so we didn't have too many home cooked meals and were eating out a lot! But just as our garden is gearing up, veggies are ok again.

We are trying to let Isley know there is a baby in mommy's tummy and she rubs it for a while and then hits it for a little while...

She likes to drag her stuffed animals on the dogs leashes- the other day she put the choke chain on her only baby doll. It was a bit disturbing, but pretty funny. Guess we will have to keep a close eye on the baby when he comes (don't know the gender and won't until the baby comes, just calling a he like we did with Isley).
