Duck Bubbles

One of Avery's favorite places is the pond that is just a couple of blocks away. He is almost beside himself with excitement as we head that way. He can clearly say "water, water". I am not sure if his speech is getting better or if my ear is getting tuned to it. Mike says it is a bit of both.
And we're there - "duckies, duckies"
Pair of Bufflehead. Also known as "duckies"
I thought he was going to jump out of the stroller in excitement when the ducks started walking towards him. Even Maya got into it.
A rather blurry Red Necked Grebe (alias "ducky")
For some reason he can say "goose" quite clearly but can't manage "geese".
So these are "baby goose".
There's a lot of water fowl comings and goings on the pond. When ducks fly in and land they create "duck bubbles". An expression coined by Avery that he thinks is hysterically funny. Every time we pass a pond, creek, river or even a puddle he starts demanding "duck bubbles".
