Wilbert the Stowaway

Well, my husband is back from OK, but he didn't come alone... he had a Stowaway!!
Meet Wilbert... formerly known as Wilbur Felicia
 

Let me explain, Claire was VERY UPSET that Granddad sent us a BOY calf!!  I mean, "She doesn't even LIKE boys, and she wanted to name him Felicia!!"  Jed wanted to name him Wilbur from Charlotte's Web since he was also a runt.  We all finally agreed on Wilbur Felicia although there was still some controversy... Livie did NOT like the Felicia part because he is a BOY, and Claire didn't like the Wilbur part.  He came to us on Tuesday, and by Thursday evening the girls came to consensus that his name is WILBERT!!??  I know, I don't get it either, but Whatever :).  He is probably 2 1/2 weeks premature, and we are doing our best to nurse him to health. 
 

Livie is taking notes.
 

Claire is clearly very concerned and helpful! :)
 

We have to feed him laying down.  He can't yet stand and suck at the same time; however, he can now do both of those things separately!
 

 

This is about as close as Claire gets.
 

We'll keep you updated... keep your fingers crossed for us!!
