I feel that people won't be able to truly appreciate the sparrow son story unless they've seen baby photos. Yes? Alas, I don't have baby pictures of Thanfiction's son but I do have some of my own sparrow child! As a shameless mommy photo-showing opportunity public service, I reveal The Growth Of Grigor:

Just picked up Newborn, with hand for scale!

Close-up from above picture - that pink lump beside his head is his last meal inside his little crop :D

Day two, if my pictures are labeled right

Day three: I'm under some kind of attack, something is literally trying to eat my finger. The first time he could push himself up with his little legs.

Day four! Aww! Almost old enough to swindle people!

What a difference (roughly) five days makes! The baby on the right is new, the baby on the left is Grigor :3

I seriously recommend a sparrow as a child: they sleep through the night, grow up so much faster, and are SO much easier to give birth to.
