I have lots of photos and video and there are sure to be more to come, so I figured we needed a new thread just for them! Baby's first photo: He was kind of born up against the wall, so Hannah and I drug him out of the corner and close to mom: Mom's first hello to her son:

Look at that top photo where he is still has the sac around him - he's looking at Viv and sticking his tongue out at her! (Is that the same stall Tessa was born in??)
You know, I just realized that the whole time I was there - I never heard Viv nicker to him at all. She certainly did all the other things that good mom's do but no talking...which seems odd since she certainly talks up a storm for food!
Also for everyone else - he whinnied a few times - now that is the cutest thing I have EVER heard - and was always answered back by the chorus at Jaime's...too funny!

Yes, Viv's a good mom but doesn't seem to be very demonstrative with her affection.
That said, Viv's not feeling very well either. Let's see how she does after we get over this hump of getting her placenta passed.

Thanks for sharing the videos and pics... I missed all the fun and seeing the first time standing is always precious.
Hope Viv is feeeling better.

Ok, a few more before Hannah gets here and I have to run to the barn: Peeking behind mom: Nursing time! Hannah guiding him in... The reflex is going like mad, but finding the spot is the tricky part! We tried the leg, the side of the udder (OUCH! but Viv never even flinched)... !e ended up guiding him over and over by getting milk on our fingers and guiding him to the source..and finally, contact!
