Growing up ducks

Gabriel blew on this seed to keep it warm for planting.

We had an adventure trying to get this up. It was looking so cool, but the pieces didnt quite fit. In the end. 

Bridget put on Gabriel's newborn clothes. 

We used the pieces as a cold frame

Gabriel got a fever. 

The perch

 Our ducklings are getting bigger. I had to up their available water. Lucy also went up to the 3-6 month sleeper and size 2 diaper. 

First book

 Bridget read her first book! Sam sat. We are so proud of her. She got a mini cake and a book to celebrate. Now we have 3/4 readers!

Duck house

 I am loving watching our duck house come together and helping here and there. I was going to do most of it, but the ducks came so early that it needed to be finished quickly.

How we clean the duck bath

 

4 months

 This girl is four months and 13lbs of cuteness. She got two immunizations and one oral immunization. I feel like she remembered it because she was super happy until the doctor walked in, and she gave the cutest pouty lip and then she gave me grunpy looks the next hour. 

Gabriel lost his fourth tooth today too! Go Gabriel, I love how he works at it until it's out. 

 

Our ducklings are doing well. They each get a morning sink swim, but only Noctis really dives and swims and splashes. I tried giving them each a different color zip tie so we could keep track of who was who, but they all ended up attacking each other, especially the duck with the yellow zip tie. So I had to take them off. I am starting to notice some distinct personality in some of them. I call the smallest one pipin. 

The duck house is coming along well, but Sean is really not feeling well so it's been tricky.
