In Which the Babies Resemble...

...gorgons. Hey, don't laugh--I think those weird head feathers look spiky and out of control, like waving serpents atop of the fearful head of a terrifying Greek mythological creature. Or like something out of a really good 1950s Japanese monster movie. Godzilla Meets the Hummingbirds! They swoop around him, pecking at his flesh! He cannot dodge their kamikaze attacks! Will Mothra help defeat Godzilla's most terrifying enemy?

I love the little heads sticking up under Mama's butt.

C'mon, isn't that a face only a mother could love?  In less than a week, though, he/she will be gorgeous!
