Well, after a bit of a dramatic entrance involving getting stuck on the way and needing a good ol' fashioned pull, the first kid of the spring season is officially here!
She made her debut yesterday afternoon. A single birth from a first-time mama who, despite being new to the whole process, handled it like a seasoned pro. Baby girl tipped the scales at 9.4 pounds (which is a respectable size for a first-timer, if you ask me).
She's already wobbling around on those brand-new legs, ears perked, tail twitching, and investigating everything like she’s been appointed barnyard inspector. I think she’s decided the world is a pretty interesting place—and she might just be right.
There's just something magical about that first kid of the season. It marks the end of winter, the start of chaos, and the beginning of late-night barn checks where you’re half-asleep, wearing one boot and a bathrobe over your coat because you couldn’t find your gloves in the dark. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Stay tuned—if this little one’s arrival is any sign of how the season's going to go, we’re in for quite the adventure.
Hey, Mom, whatca eatin'?

I just saw a blog today where the lady knits these cute sweaters and every now and then dresses her lamb in one.

I have some little red jackets made from fleece that I put on newborns if it's chilly, just until they dry off. They look so adorable when they're wearing them. Take at look at one here - http://americanwayfarm.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-lamb.html
Just so cute..hard not to want one.
