New additions and such

There have been some new additions to the Gunter farm. Almost three weeks ago two new babies were born. Then this past week more new babies were born.

These were the first babies, both boys. This was the day after they were born.



These are the newest babies when they were about 4 days old.



This is a new gladiolus that started blooming this week.



This is the newest stray cat that has taken to eating our cat's food. She seems very friendly, even wanting to come inside. This is Jonathan holding her.



The baby recently got a new accessory, a high chair.



Then Shawn thought it would be a good idea to give him ice cream (he is not going to be doing that when we have kids, I can tell you that).



And the newest change for Junior is his lack of hair on the back of his head. It is kinda funny since the rest of his hair is so long.

Holiday Weekend

My dad has sold off many of our goats, including the billy goat (mainly because he was very mean to all the other goats). A few weeks later he went and bought a new billy goat. It is still pretty young and the other goats are treating him like he doesn't exist, or won't let him eat when they are around. Hopefully when he gets bigger he will become more confident and they will accept him as part of their herd. This is the new billy.



When I came to the fence to take his picture one of our other goats came to see if I was giving out food. They always expect to be fed when they see someone outside the house.



Then we had some tomato peels to feed the cows. They are pretty funny to watch coming to the fence because you can get them to run. If you have never seen a cow run, it is pretty funny. I have a video I'll try to upload on here of the first one that came running up.



This is the cow running at us.



This week we went to see Shawn's parents. While we were there I took more pictures of the baby. He just turned 4 months old and is fascinated with his feet. He also rolls over and pushes up off the ground (but still can't crawl). He can sit up for a few seconds, but still hasn't mastered that skill yet.



He gets in his walker and pushes around some (mostly going backwards). Shawn took his feet and started moving them to play with him in the walker.
