OK, I get it. Pictures of the cute babies are more appealing than Jamie, our Shearer. I noticed the difference in the number of "clicks" when the leading picture did not include a baby. Well, for those of you who clicked through, you got to see some "cute" pictures too, so I hope you enjoyed them.
Well, just for you, I've written this post to display the two new babies and some of their antics. Their personalities are already showing and they are wonderful to watch.
Britney's Boy enjoys playing peek-a-boo in the long grass and is very skittish. He jumps at any sound and takes off at top speed. Unfortunately, his legs can't quite keep up with his body so he face plants at regular intervals. He also enjoys rolling in the dirt when he's not charging around the pasture.
Opal's Girl is showing a very strong mothering instinct and sticks close to Britney's Boy. I'm not sure if it's to try and keep him out of trouble or because she's glad to have the company after being the only baby for a few days. She is much stronger than Britney's Boy so has no trouble keeping up with him and she gets very concerned when he hits the dirt mid run. Often she will nuzzle him when he's down as if to say "Come on, let's run some more".
Opal herself is pretty laid back these days and lets her girl explore without her. If there are visitors though, Opal hurriedly catches up to her offspring to make sure she's ok. Britney on the other hand, never lets her boy out of her sight. She sticks close by him at all times and follows him with her eyes when he's charging around.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. Come out to the farm to see us, you'll enjoy their antics. We still have another one due any day so, who knows, you may be lucky and see our new baby arrive.
