THE cutest farm baby EVER!!!

Two posts in one day must mean something spectacular has happened, right?  RIGHT!!  Savannah just ran back from the barn to tell us that our miniature donkey, Jenne, just had her baby.  Funny thing is that we had our miniature Jack fixed but he managed to get our neighbors donkey and ours pregnant first... he made the most of his last fertile days, hee-hee!!
 Not sure if its a boy or girl yet... it is still very skittish.  If it is a girl... we will name her Grayce.  We don't have a boy name yet... which means it is probably a boy... isn't that the way it always is?  Any suggestions for a boy name?  Hands down... I say this is the cutest babe we have had on the farm... I am smitten, completely!
Ty is usually able to easily get close to the babies.  I guess because of his smaller size the babies tend to be drawn to him and not fearful.  So when I told Ty to take a peak in the 'bottom area' to see if it was a boy or girl... Ty was a tad offended to say the least.  I am dying to know though....
 We rescued Jenne and her partner, Bart.  Jenne almost did not make it through the first winter here on the farm because she was so sick.  We got Bart fixed because we feared that if Jenne got pregnant it would harm/kill her.  But all seems to have gone beautifully.  Jenne is very happy with her little one... and so are we.

Oh that is an adorable baby!! If it turns out to be a boy, you could name him Grayson. Fits with your idea. :)

When I saw the pics I called Noah and Eden over. Noah said, "Mom, we need to hurry and get to the farm before the baby grows up. Hurry, hurry!

Sooooo cute! Usually I just stalk your blog off and on, so I haven't read all of your posts, but reading this one and the one of when you got the donkeys and they were so sick actually made me cry. How wonderful they are healthy and happy on your farm with the love of your very own animal whisperer (Savannah)! And what a darling addition to your farm!
