Bikin' and Trikin'

While we anxiously await the arrival of our 2nd, here are some pics of our first, who is still cute, to tide everyone over. We obviously aren't as camera crazy as we used to be but I noticed that it had been 3 months since our last post. That, and a new 2 gig memory stick just dying to be warmed up.

I took Christian to the zoo today while mom was confined to bedrest. Normally the parakeets that you see above are a little jittery to get on those sticks, even with steady-handed adults. But this one had no fear at all even as I slyly reached into my pocket for the camera. Note the attention span of a two-year-old. He's got a bird eating from his stick but that's just not enough. He's already moved on to the next thing. At one point, a larger bird nosed this one off the stick and started eating, but that scared the bejeesus out of Christian and he dropped his stick.

Unless something comes over me, the next post here will have another addition to the family. I might have to change the name of the blog -- we'll see!
