Reese, the baby lamb, is definitely confused about who her mother is! She reminds me several times a day of the Dr. Seuss book, 'Are You My Mother?'. Here are just a few pictures that I took today of her quest to find her mother.....
Sky is definitely playing the mother role for Reece, and the lamb seems to respond by wanting to be close to Sky.
Although she doesn't recognize that she is one of the sheep, she does 'head butt' when showing affection or wanting to play. Here she is trying to give Sky a loving head butt....
Since Jody feeds her, Reese also follows Jody around...including into the house if you don't close the door fast enough..
Here Reese watches Jody feed Caily, all the while wishing it was her turn instead....
But when all is said and done, even if Jody feeds her or if I do(like I did tonight when Jody and Darin were out on a date), Reese and Sky definitely have a connection.....and Sky takes her role seriously! What a good mother.
We brought out a blanket and toys and spent most of the day outside...it was so much fun! But who needs toys when you have a plastic cup?
While we ate lunch outside, Caily enjoyed playing in her Exersaucer. The puppies and Reese were all there too, and here Sneezy got close enough to lick Caily's fingers. Never a dull moment around here that's for sure! She didn't mind at all though!
We got to babysit tonight while Jody and Darin went out on a date, and we were still outside....and Caily was still enjoying her plastic cup. She has the cutest giggle and we are enjoying hearing every single one!
When Caily got tired of playing with the cup and her toys, she crawled off the blanket and discovered other fun things...like this piece of dead grass. I couldn't resist capturing her feeling it between her fingers....pretty good fine motor skills I would say! Love those dimpled little hands!
