Some Babies, Some Flowers, and a Very Busy Toddler

The other day we discovered a nest under out deck and realized there were some babies in it. Tonight I pulled out the ladder and it wasn't until I got up there that I realized they were about to leave the nest. They were so still, it took me a minute to figure out that they were really alive. It was very hard maneuvering with my camera and flash under there, but they were easy subjects and I got a few shots.

Rainah and I went for a walk and found lots of pretty flowers, so I pulled out my 100mm to play a bit. And of course, I had to take a few of Rainah, too! :)

This trike has turned into yet another thing that I end up pushing while carrying Rainah... much like the stroller!

But once in awhile she likes to push, too.

And if I'm really lucky, she'll ride for a bit (hasn't mastered peddling yet)

First Trike

Thanks to Craigslist, Rainah is now the proud new owner of a Kettler Trike! She took a little spin on it tonight (and though we tried to help her figure out the pedals, she never quite got it). I LOVE it because it has the push handle! Hopefully she'll get the hang of it and have lots of fun on it this summer.
