Little Carsen was fascinated by one of our aquariums and kept gazing at it:
No matter which way Marla held her, she turned her head for a better view. That little girl may have to have an aquarium in her nursery one day soon!
Marco, as always, wanted to be in the room with the company. He watched the baby carefully, with a great deal of interest, and then started talking to her! We were puzzled at first by what he said. He kept calling her "Chip".
"Chip? Hey Chip! Heeeyyyy Chip...hey Chip-Chip! Wha cha doin'?"
Chip, as some of you may remember, was a tiny sparrow that lived with us for years. I think that Marco was looking for a way to refer to the baby, and the best word he could come up with was the name of a small bird that he used to know! How smart is that? He does that kind of thing very often; I was mopping the kitchen floor the other day and he said, "Take a shower? Gonna take a shower?" because that was the closest word he had for something that involved cleaning with water.
Life with a parrot (much like life with a baby, I imagine) is never dull!
