Nine Days Old and Things are Getting Tight

Their beaks are starting to grow longer, but they can't open their eyes yet. One baby is definitely a bit bigger than the other, so we are now calling them a brother and a sister. Anyone have name suggestions? Names need to start with a J.

Wow - We've Still Got Two!

The two hummingbird babies are both still doing well, and neither one has managed to take over the nest. Not sure how they both will fit much longer, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. Right now, at 7 days old, they have very fluffy 'hair' and short beaks. The eyes do not seem to be open yet.

End of Year School Picnic

Page had their end of year school picnic this past Friday and we had a busy day at Cheviot Park playing with hula hoops and water balloons. Ananda, Jessica and Sydney were the three muskateers as per usual.

4 Days Old

Our two hummingbird babies are now 4 days old, and both are still safely tucked away in the nest. They are very fuzzy, but turned so that I can't get a good shot of their faces. I'll get a shot of mom to post soon also, but she runs as soon as we get close.

The Second Generation Has Arrived

So we have now named our Hummingbird Mom. We decided she must be the same mom that used this nest last year, so we are calling her Big Jess, since her '06 baby is named Jessiphina. If one or both babies make it this year, then we'll give them appropriate 'J' names also.

The eggs hatched on May 9th, and we have two tiny little hatchlings. Last year one baby was obviously bigger than the other, and the smaller one got booted out of the nest pretty quick. This year they both look pretty healthy, so hoping they both make it.

Check ME out!

So let's all take your best guess on who these amazing beauties are. Well, perhaps the baby is pretty cute, but let's be honest that perhaps I was not the most attractive of children!!! Major dental work was in my near future. Jerri found this tucked away in Sacrament and now I actually have a few pictures from my childhood. Amazing that baby Jerri is a dead ringer for baby Charlie. And damn, he's good looking.

Tick The Box, Buy the T-Shirt

So the Nash family has yet another project under their belt. This month we studied Fossils and prepared a report and visuals to present to the class. In true over-achiever fashion, we went to the teacher store and found some fossil molds and used plaster to create some fossils, and then we created a model t-rex and finally our superior report.

Let's all cross our fingers for another semester of high honor roll!!!
