Look who's almost 2!

On March 24, my little baby girl will turn 2. We got her pictures taken this week and they will be back in time for the party on the 25th. She is becoming such a big girl, she can count to 12 and sometimes further, she says most of her ABC's and can carry on a conversation. She even climbed a tree in the backyard the other day all by herself! I can't believe she is almost 2!

Dumbest Bird Ever!

Now I know some birds are smart, parrots can talk and Big Bird teaches my daughter the alphabet on a daily basis; however, as a general rule I believe the term "bird brain" sums it up well. Now everyone has had a bird fly into a clean window from time to time. This morning, Brian was eating his breakfast while surfing myspace when he heard the unmistakable noise of a bird flying into our front dining room picture window. What makes this particular bird dumber than the rest is that he (yes I'm assuming it was a male, who didn't ask for directions) didn't fly into a freshly cleaned, see-thru window--he hit a hasn't been cleaned since we moved in window with a curtain on it! I don't know what he was doing or where he thought he was going, but it scared the crap out of him--literally, see pic (and yes I had to pull the curtain back to take this lovely pic). I guess he survived we didn't see him on the ground anywhere, but I'm sure further brain trauma was inflicted at impact.
