Baby Fish

Yesterday we were surprised to find a load of baby fish in our tank! We've only had fish since May. Not sure about the gestational period of little aquarium Mollys, but we were certainly surprised! There are a lot of new mouths to feed.



Teensy!











Mom (white) and Dad (black) with the brood up top. We're guessing they're the parents. I don't know which other fish would be big enough to have 30-40 little ones inside them without us noticing. You can see about half the brood on the wrong side of the 'safety strainer' we rigged up.

Feeding the Ducks

 
Addie had so much fun! Squeals and wiggles. Her friends John and 'Hashie' took her to feed the ducks about a month ago. She ate a lot of the bread at that outing. This time it all went to the birds.

Addie will stop to 'sniff' flowers all the time without us prompting her to.

After feeding the ducks and running around, mommy and Addie stopped at a bakery for a snacktime treat. The butterfly cookie was Addie's choice. She ate one wing of it.

Mongoose

 

Small Mammal House at the DC Zoo... So many obscure animals - so little time. Addie liked the mongoose a lot for some reason. Maybe because it was at her level.

A morning at the zoo provided some views of Addie's favorite animals: elephants, zebras, pandas, and monkeys. It was a short trip but mom and dad are strategic and hit all the highlights.

Pool Time on Capitol Hill

 

Addie's friend Sam (wearing the bucket) had a little pool party. Addie, unlike the two boys, didn't even sit in the water but daintily splashed around and played with a few pool toys. Then inhaled her hot dog while laughing at Sam's chihuahua, Pork Chop.
