Ninety-six...

My brother-in-law, Joe, lives just around the corner from us. About three weeks ago one of his cows had a baby. Well the Mama cow didn't take to being a Mama very well and so the baby is bottle fed. My niece Katia took us out into the pasture yesterday in search of "Baby" to give her a bottle. Prepare yourself for cuteness....are you ready...

Katia got the bottle all ready for the baby. Avery was very interested in this process and asked Katia about every step of the way. Katia is so cute with her little cousins. She is very diligent about making sure that they can see what she is doing and offers them turns with everything. She describes everything she is doing in great detail so that Rowdy and Avery understand. I just LOVED watching them interact. " Wait for me guys!"
We had to go search for Baby. We heard her before we saw her. Once she saw Katia with the bottle she came running...Darling!

MILK!



After the bottle was gone, Baby just followed Katia like a puppy. Baby, as you can see, is not much bigger than our dog...she is so soft too!
Later, after we got home I asked Bodie, "Did we go feed the baby cow a bottle of milk?" He said, "Gone". I said "Yes, she drank it all gone!"

Ugh, you are killing me with the cuteness. Stop..... :)

I swear there is nothing cuter than a baby cow. Did you know there are actually miniature cows?
