Early Spring Hike

Dear Baby Bird,
Today was a rare Saturday with nothing planned. So we decided to go for a family hike.

We forgot that a lot of the forest is in the shade and still has snow, so the first part was a bit slippery.

But once we got to the open trail it was easier to walk.

You matched the trailpost!


 We came to a sand volleyball court that was as slippery as an ice skating rink. You rolled around and loved it!
 Daddy loves to bring his pocketknife on hikes, and today he used it to cut into some walnuts you found. You love to pick up treasures on hikes!
 And Brother loves to find treasures, too.
Today got me excited about the Spring weather. We went outside for a walk before bed. Even though we had on winter coats and hats, we saw robins and a rabbit, daffodils starting to sprout, and could hear birds singing from every tree. Spring is surely on its way.

Love,
Mom

Mo

Dear Baby Bird,

These days, when you want "more" of something, you say "Mee-mo."  The word "mo" is now reserved for when you mow the lawn.


Or the sidewalk.

Love,
Mom

Pi(e) Day

Dear Baby Bird,

It's March 14 (3.14), which means we are starting to see some Spring-like weather, although we still have a lot of snow and ice to dig and play with!

I didn't get the Pie made in time for you to eat it tonight, but I know you will love it tomorrow!

Love,
Mom

Talking

Dear Baby Bird,

Nana asked if we had recordings of your voice, and I realized we haven't made many videos yet, so we sat at the table together and talked. 

Here's one of my favorite videos.



Love,
Mom
