.little.miss.personality. . . and bird update. :]

tenley KNOWS what "funny" is. she knows! she is always doing silly things, and laughing at herself. what a little weirdo! she is also learning to walk. she takes the littlest baby steps, then comes to a wobbley standing hault to get re-grounded and take a few more steps. it is so cute! we really need to get our video camera out! she is becoming much more observant, and easily entertained. she will sometimes watch TV while i relax, or sit in her high chair and self feed for a good half hour or so while i cook or do the dishes. she LOVES our dog jack, and laughs a lot while playing with him. he likes her too! he is becoming very protective, and will bark at you if he thinks you are bothering her.

speaking of jack... he sniffed out a family of quail in our bushes in the back yard! he chased the momma (or daddy?) quail up the fence, and the babies just split in all directions. they froze and tried to hide into their surroundings. they sat very very still for about 15 minutes, until they knew jack was gone, and then i heard the momma churping/purring, calling them back to safety. it was amazing! i snapped a picture of one, but it doesn't justify how TINY they are. so i will also post a picture i stole from google images (not taken by me.) these little guys could not have been more than 2 days old. (yes, i have baby robins AND quail in my yard. the robins have grown so much in one week, they are about ready to fly the coupe! i couldn't believe how fast they grew!)

the quail:Google quail picture:

so tiny and cute, right?! it took everything in me not to pick one up! anyway.. it was fun. other than bird watching, not much else is new. me and T have gone on LOTS of walks, the weather has been so nice! hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
