almost a 9 month old Bird

To you my dear not-quite 9 month old Bird -

Waving, dancing (to Carol King and baby Bach?), saying Hi, Daadda, and the occasional Mahhh, standing for a minute at a time, and still chasing the cat. You have all of the elements of a baby bird and I cringe at your excitement to escape.

Food, our greatest challenge provides proof that you are in fact, a bull. Thus far only peas and cheerios will suffice but we keep trying just the same.

You've had your first big adventure to the East, your first plane ride, and your first snow.

Soon you will be running seeing as how walking will not get you there fast enough.

Love to you my Bird,
Mom

And that about sums it up
