My guy has chicken legs (from his dad, lol). I usually make his about 10. My chubbier babies had 12 thighs at this age.
Baby leggings!
Stay Put Baby Leggings (Ravelry link) Handknit baby leggings that stay up! Is that possible? Why yes it is! And here's the proof: Yes, that is snow in the background and yes he is barefoot. It's actually a warm day and our 5ft of snow is melting away to near nothing. Yay! Even while craw...
Kristin, after thinking more on the vaccine issue, I realized he did receive one vaccine at 2 months that I completely forgot about. His doctor convinced me to at least give him the pneumococcal. I took that section out of the post since it's obviously misleading.

Names
You will take the bottle! By the 3rd feeding they knew what to do. It no longer takes 2 of us to hold a calf and feed them, thank goodness! Now we are trying to come up with names. I've been warned not to name them if we're going to eat them but it's too hard not to. Bottle feeding, we're ...
Um no. I dont want to die. Haha!
Say Moo!
We got our calves today! Going to the farm to pick them up was a bit disconcerting. Why didn't anyone tell me calves got big?! I don't mean big, I mean BIG honkin' BIG. Ok, maybe I was warned but I didn't know you were serious. At least for now they are cute. I felt awful taking a baby away...

Super like! As my friend Emma says, "Breastmilk is not some sort of scarce commodity; it is a free flowing resource." I hope that someday milk sharing will me less taboo, just like breastfeeding is becoming.
