ALL Mommies Love Their Babies!

Whether it's a frog, bird, elk, elephant, kangaroo or human one thing is for sure -- All Mommies LOVE their Babies!! Recently Kailer and I have demonstrated this principle while acting out like animals that we are not.

This first picture is of Mommy and her little "brancher." A brancher is a baby bird that is able to move about, but not yet ready to fly. My little guys is always "on the move" but thankfully is not "flying" yet. In this particular picture, I am feeding my little chick a (gummy) worm that I 'gathered' for him (from the kitchen) to eat ... after all, chicks depend on their mommies for food and nutrients.
[As my disclaimer: I did NOT allow Kailer to eat the worm, but he did enjoy the few seconds that he got to suck on the sugary treat.]

I should also mention that we do not torture Kailer by wrapping in him a blanket so his arms are immobile. It's actually a great technique (known as swaddling) to use when he's fussy and needs to feel secure...and believe it or not he likes it.

Next is mommy with her Joey. Kailer has taken a liking to being attached to me (a.k.a. in my 'pouch') facing outward. These pictures were the first night we tried it and he enjoyed himself enough that we left him in there until he fell asleep! Today we strolled around grocery shopping and at the mall for over an hour with him in the pouch. He loves to look around and his arms are always out waiting to grab onto something that can go into his mouth, of course!

Out like a "Joey"
