HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear IT's...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU.
Thanks for the kudos! I plan to continue this FOREVER...whatever that means...but now that I've taken on 8 little girls...I doubt the updates will be as frequent...more like weekly or bi-weekly for the next year! After that...we'll see!Thank you for your year long sharing of fantastic photography and frequent updates on these little ones !
Your dedication and sharing is very much appreciated by many.
Wow this photo is amazing.For those that didn't see the media joint...here's a shot of IT-1 and a new friend. Anyone know the butterfly species?

As I've hinted the past few days...today is the ITs' first birthday! The weather sucks here today...so there are no festivities. However, Uncle Tom provided some great treats for these guys...a veritable feast...and they enjoyed it! Here's a chart I made today...the photo is two days old...but the measurements are less than an hour old. ENJOY!

The day they hatched, IT-1 and IT-3 were each 31 grams and IT-2 was 35 grams! Funny how the tide turned! Each was precisely 2" long at hatch! Hope that helps your stats!It is hard to believe they are all the same age. Clearly you have the photo evidence to support it right from hatching until now. Nicely done. I just wanted the Birthday comparison photo posted on this page too
