Weirdest Looking Duck Ever

We sometimes go to this park down the road that has ducks and a pond and we throw bread to the ducks. I usually hang back because the ducks kinda scare me and this one duck in particular really gets to me. Here he/she (it) is, in all its beauty. It is hard to tell, but there is this huge horn on top of its head. You can see it in the picture, but not really well. This was the absolute closest I would get to it, and this is with the zoom. Last time we were here, it came up to us squawking like crazy and almost grabbed the bread right out of Matt's hand. That duck has really sharp-looking teeth, too! Then it was practically chasing us out of the park, flapping those crazy wings.

This time around, the duck was a little more docile. Maybe the feeders before us slipped it some tranquilizer or something.

A Sunny Weekend

Matt feeding the ducks. Some of the ducks are pretty, some are down right the ugliest things you've ever seen. They love bread, though. It shows. They followed us the whole time and I kept thinking, what if they attack us? Turns out, one of my BFF's Lori shared a story with me about her experience with attacking ducks. Next time, we will be more careful!
Reagan is learning to use the sippy cup. Please ignore the cloudy water--I promise it is clean and fresh from the tap...she just has a backwash problem.
Enjoying time with dad.
And mom.
Playing games.
One of my favorite shots of her. I caught her smiling!
This morning I took Reagan on a walk around Concord park. I took one of her favorite toys--this yellow chewy giraffe with brown spots. Matt's mom has had it for years and she gave it to Reagan. Reagan loves it! Anyways, I was almost home and saw that we didn't have it anymore. We backtracked for like an hour and finally found it on the side of the road! Relief! I didn't want to lose that toy.
