Baby Face

Way back in the day when I was pregnant, my sister joked that I wouldn't have to worry about my baby being stolen.  After all, the premium was for blue-eyed blondes at the time and we are definitely not that.  When Asia was born, though, my sister took one look at her beautiful little face and said, "Oh, you might have to worry."  The truth is, no matter what you worry about all of the possible dangers that might befall your kids and back then there wasn't even all of this social media to rely on.

Since Asia's baby was born, I haven't really posted many pictures or mentioned her much because I network so many adoptable animals, my personal FB page is not private.  Lately, though we've posted a couple and though I still try to be careful, there was one that I was just dying to post.

The baby is generally very genial but for some reason this picture of her with her little cousin just made me laugh.  The moment I saw it, I said, her little face reminds me of someone and Asia saw it right away as well.  How about you?  Do you see it?

We call it her "Miss M. face."

Baby, Shmaby

The baby has been home for a week now, and while we've been working with Ray on Positive Conditioned Emotional Responses to her smells and sounds, Ray has been working on his antler chews, hanging with monkey and just basking in the all around awesomeness that comes with being Ray-Ray.


My antler, my monkey, and me.

Today conditions seemed right for a proper meet and greet, so while all of the human boys were gone, Asia and the baby came to visit with Ray.

Due to some visitors we had earlier in the week, Ray was still sleeping off a "fun hangover" and really couldn't be bothered to get off his mat to come sniff the baby.

How well did it go?  What you can't see in the pictures is that Jae was actually sitting on the coffee table and Ray basically ignored the cat and the baby.  Actually, I'd call it more of showing a polite interest while respecting everyone's personal space.
