Ode to the Hummingbirds!
We put up a feeder for hummingbirds about a month ago, and these little birds have brought us so much joy since then! I’m not a bird lover, but hummingbirds are just in a whole other class of birds. They’re pretty, graceful, and quite social. We have a new friend. We’re pretty sure it’s the same one, and now we have a little baby coming to visit too. It’s really funny because whenever we walk outside to play or have a snack, we get a visit from our little hummingbird friend. So, we thought it would be nice for Asher to hang and decorate a bird house for our visitor. It was so cute watching him getting into the painting, and talking about the “a bird!”. I hate to break it to the hummingbirds, this house is not fit for them, the square-footage is way below average wingspan, and there might be some unsupervised toddler jostling going on, but it’s the thought. It was made with lots of love for our new friends. Asher is constantly yelling at us, “A bird, a bird!” “Whoa, Mommy a bird!” “sna, sna” – because we talk about them coming for a snack. He’s really into the hummingbirds, and if we’re all being honest, so are we :).

Rach, that first pic is unreal. That’s all that needs to be said!! 🙂
I absolutely love Asher’s painting on the birdhouse! Too cute! And I agree…not a huge bird fan myself, but those hummingbirds are just a different kind of bird!
I was actually thinking of putting a feeder outside my front window the other day! My students love it when birds hang out by the bushes, and you’ve inspired me to actually get one. 🙂
What a great idea to build and paint a bird house for your little friends. They ARE so pretty. I love how Asher says “sna, sna” when they come to drink.
So adorable. We hung a feeder up this summer and had a friend named “Hummy”–I know, real original! Haven’t seen him in a while though-huh. Glad Asher has a new friend:)
These are the sweetest pictures. I love the way you parent this precious son you have been given. If Asher is loving birds, he would probably enjoy the book, “Are you My Mother?” It was truly one of our favorites.
