Meet the Baby!

Today Brian and I went to Crowley Manor to meet the newest member of our farm family -- our baby Nigerian Dwarf goat. She was born at 2:00am on Saturday morning, so she was about 32 hours old when we saw her.

She is strawberry-blonde with blue eyes, just like the papa goat. We're going to name her Peaberry.











She already knows how to pose for the camera. She's a natural!




I wonder if we'll have any trouble bonding?





She's still got a little amniotic fluid on her forehead. Her momma has cleaned her, but whenever she nurses she gets a little more on her head. It's no problem - just a little post-birth stuff!











Lilly Blue (who's due to have babies in April) and Coco check us out.






She likes to cuddle close, and cuddling inside a shirt is even better!



Look at those blue eyes!






She has something to say!!



On your mark, get set...



And she's off!





Right now she's just a tad bigger than Lucy, but she's got looong legs!




Some gorgeous goat milk soaps made by the goat owner/breeder, Patricia from Crowley Manor. Patricia treated us to a couple of bars - Monaco Lavendar & Peaches and Pink Grapefruit Lemon Balm. These are just wonderful soaps, made by hand. You can contact Patricia at (303) 668-3892 or www.crowleymanor.com if you'd like more information.

Congratulations!

When my wife sees these pictures she's going to die of cuteness overdose. Maybe I should get a cow instead. :P

She is so adorable!! Hopefully when we actually get a house (and are no longer living as apartment dwellers) we will join the goat-owner family and reap all the benefits of cuteness, character, and healthy dairy :)
