Springtime at Grandma and Grandpa's


Now that it is spring/summer at grandma and grandpa's, the place is overflowing with baby animals; chicks, baby peacocks, and kittens. These babies keep Cole very entertained. He has a real sweet side to him and loves babies. When he holds that baby chicks and kittens he talks in a soft, high voice and says things such as, "its ok baby, oh your so cute, it's ok babes." He also loves babies and little kids. He melts my heart. If he sees a baby at the park he will kneel down, put his hand on their face and say in a soft, high voice "hello sweetheart." So cute! He definitely needs a sibling soon.
Grandma and Grandpa have a little flock of chicks in their bird cage. The hen adopted all of the orphan chicks that we found, and is such a good mama. We named Cole's favorite chick "Rudy". He was the only abandoned egg that hatched in the incubator, and is the total runt. He is about half the size of the other chicks. The chicks are getting so big now, and they drive Romi crazy because they eat all of the lettuce that she puts out for the rabbits. I guess today the chicks managed to get up to the swing that is for the parakeets that also occupy the cage and they were swinging on it, pretty cute. Cole loves to hang out in the cage and take turns holding all of the chicks.
