New Pics of the New Babies

I’m just so thrilled with these two. They are doing great this morning, and first-time mom is being a great mom. Can’t ask for more than that. I still had a hard time getting a good pic of the little doeling, either she was eating, or moving around too much and making blurring pics. It’s just dark enough in there that I needed to use the night setting on my camera instead of the action one. If I could have gotten decent light on the pictures and used the action one I could have had some nicer doeling pics.

Buck–we’re calling him Bubba for now.

The best pic of the doeling I could get–eating of course (come to think of it, considering how mom was during labor, maybe she just is taking after momma and never gonna stop eating). We were going to call her ‘Leap of Faith’ since she was born on leap day, but I was joking around with my son and said boy, what a knock out, and he said yeah, it was a lucky punch. I thought that was perfect, since leap day is also supposed to be lucky, her name is gonna be ‘Lucky Punch’ (I think anyway, lol).

The two of them-Bubba was trying to get his sister to let him have at the bar, she was being a pig, and he hasn’t figured out there are two spigots yet, haha.
