LOOK at the EARS on this baby!! I was able to get a bit closer this afternoon than we were able to this morning, and the closer distance really put the ears in perspective.
THEY'RE ENORMOUS!!
We're not sure if we've got a jack, a jenny, or a flying elephant at this point. At first we thought the baby might be a girl ... but, perhaps we were a bit, uh, premature in our judgment. Seems there might be a bit *more* *there* than we could see. And yet, we're still not sure. Sheesh... I never thought it would be so hard to tell. (And let me tell you just how funny I feel looking!)
Now that I think about it, maybe we should name it Wee One. *wink*
So, we're going to wait to decide on a name until we see some golden bio-activities before we confirm jack or jenny. Or flying elephant, for that matter.
Ha!
How's this for a nice after-dinner post!
If she's a "she", and being (almost) Spring, I think Blossom would be a lovely name for your new baby!

Adorable and yes, very LARGE ears! I'm a "City" girl but do think baby animals of any kind are just too cute. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Ida

Well, Jack or Jenny, whichever one it is, is sooooo adorable. I just want to put my arms around the neck and give it a big hug!

What a sweet baby! Yep, that would have been quite the delivery--poor Jackie!

I'm so glad the baby has arrived. It is adorable. Love the pictures. Jackie from KY

Awww too Cute!! I think Jackie's Wink sounds super cute. Give it a hug from me and my 4 kiddies. Laughing about the "looking", when Mom's babies (llamas) are born, it's always fun to try and guess what it is before the look is made!
Posted by: Amber | February 28, 2007 at 02:57 PM
Holy cow........ call him Tapper.....
Posted by: Kristi Ferro | February 28, 2007 at 12:56 PM
What about Dumbo?? He has the ears for it. :D

Good grief, what a cutie! How can you get any work done? I would be taking pictures ALL day long of that little one. I personally would avoid any mention of 'size' when naming. That could have long term barn yard repercussions! :-) Keep us updated! Manetta

Anna, I don't know what I like most - your cards and projects or your critters! Thanks for the updates on your babies. Would never have known that was Lefty and Dixie's Chick, wow. I wonder if donkeys grow into their ears like puppies grow into their feet! LOL Godiva would be a good name for a girl or a boy, she/he is such a lovely chocolate color!
Posted by: kathynruss | February 28, 2007 at 08:27 AM
I think she/he is adorable! You could always name him "Brayer". Loved all the pics on all the farm animals.
Posted by: Lois Michael | February 28, 2007 at 08:17 AM
The color is truly chocolate, so the name should be Chocolate or Cocoa, or something like Hershey, you know.....
Posted by: Jeanne in Idaho | February 28, 2007 at 08:14 AM
Whatever it is, I love those ears! "All the better to hear you with, my dear." So be careful what you say when you're looking;)

K I thought YOUR post was pretty funny - but OMGosh the comments???? I am ROLLING here!!!!
I never knew a donkey could be so cute - and I like the ears!!!!
If it's a boy I think "Wee One" is a good name - BUT when (possibly) "he" gets older it might not suit (see Bagpuss's comment ROFL!!!!!)
Posted by: AmyR | February 28, 2007 at 06:54 AM
I don't have any name suggestions, but that baby is so cute!
Posted by: Nicole | February 28, 2007 at 06:53 AM
OMGosh, Anna, s/he is adorable!! His/her poor mamma must have been ready to explode! Nice to see some updated photos of the babes around your back yard!
Posted by: Sharon Harnist | February 28, 2007 at 06:48 AM
Dumbo? LOL...oh I think not, but it sure came to mind...he/she is just too cute!
Posted by: asela | February 28, 2007 at 06:29 AM
Hi Anna, If it's a boy, I think he looks like a Mortimer!!! What a cutie!
Posted by: Michelle | February 28, 2007 at 05:29 AM
He/she is sooo cute! You could name it Pat! ~;-)
Posted by: Tracey | February 28, 2007 at 04:50 AM
Anna,
The new baby reminds me of chocolate, and is so cute you just want to eat him/her up!
How about calling him/her Bon Bon. LOL

A little bit of heaven in your own backyard! Its so hard to believe that baby is a newborn. Its so darn cute!!!! Anxious for the announcement of gender...:) Thank you for the great pictures.
Posted by: Rose | February 28, 2007 at 03:40 AM
Sorry, I can't help being rude, but if it IS a boy you could all him Wee Willie Winkie, after the nursery rhyme.
If it's a girl you could call her Martha (as in, you didn't know if she was Arthur or Martha)
Or Long Tall Sally. :)
She's gorgeous, by the way - I love donkeys.

Calls into question the old saying "hung like a donkey" ;)
Posted by: Bagpuss | February 28, 2007 at 01:30 AM
"my Grandma, what big ears you have"..."the better to hear you with, my dear"....hehehe
Baby DOES have quite a pair of audio receivers there!!! TOO CUTE! I just love your pictures, they always make me smile. Can't wait to hear what gender the baby truly is!! :)
