What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

I spent about an hour with the mother and baby before work this morning. I still haven’t seen the baby eat a lot, but I’ve seen what seemed to be a snack or two. I’m assuming he’s getting whatever he needs though, considering he’s a bouncing bundle of energy!

This morning, I let the new couple out to browse the barnyard by themselves.


The couple hadn’t gotten too far from the nursery before the little tyke began darting off in every direction to investigate various distractions.


What you can’t see in a still shot is that the little fella doesn’t really ‘walk’ anywhere…he bounces, leaps, stumbles, rolls and leaps some more, all while wagging his little tail like an excited puppy. In fact, he was so excited about exploring his new surroundings, that mom could barely keep up with him!


Dessa seemed totally uninterested in the baby’s new adventures this morning, but Sugar and daddy were riveted on baby’s every move…


Are you guys as dumbfounded as me at how BIG this newborn bugger is?!


Mama seems to be catching on to her maternal responsibilities. She never lets him far from her sight and tonight when the two of them bedded down in their nursery, she lay down in front of him, so as to protect him as much as possible with her body, from the cold night air.

I’m going to try to capture some of his shenannagins this weekend with movies. Now, can someone tell me where I can upload said movies so I can link them to the blog like photos? Then I’ll be driving you all batty with goofy home movies too!

Tomorrow, I promise to fill everyone in on my new camera, which won’t be here till the first or second week in APRIL! HOW will I SURVIVE?! Till then, ‘here’s lookin’ at you, kid…



(PS…name to be determined tomorrow!)
