Luis was born September 4th and he sure is a cutie-pie. While Gisella was on maternity leave she kept Jocelyn too so I had a wonderful 2 months off. I started back yesterday watching them both. It was a little difficult getting Jocelyn back in her routine while trying to tend to a newborn but we managed just fine. It is definitely easier than I thought it would be and my anxiety has passed :) I noticed Jocelyn is a little jealous when I feed Luis. When she sees a bottle go in his mouth she will start grabbing for it and throw a fit till I give her a bottle, it is ridiculous and funny all at the same time and we are working on this issue :) Luis is a really good baby, eats and sleeps and I have gotten him to smile which I think is no big deal, but they are shocked that he is smiling because he doesn't around them, lol. I guess it is just the different culture and how they raise a child and how I am used to seeing people raising a child. When he is awake I am always in his face talking to him and making faces at him to get him to laugh and they don't. It's super funny the way Gisella looks at me when I am holdingw baby Luis, because I probably do look like a crazy white woman a little when I am interacting with him! Man, do these kids love to sleep though!
Jocelyn is also jealous that baby Luis has takin' up camp on her bed :) I do catch her patting him really gentle when she knows I am not looking, it's really sweet!
County roads in Oklahoma crack me up. I am used to black top country roads, not dirt country roads. We got an inch of rain today, and we need it so I am not complaining! Cody called me this afternoon asking if I could come pick him and Luis up. They got stuck on their way back from the Elk pens. I almost didn't make it, but I managed. I don't know how people can make it down these roads? I guess the people that do live out here have to get something in 4 wheel drive even if they don't want it :) Luis and Cody were in the old ford and not the dodge because Cody said the dodge is to heavy to make it to the back after it rains. Well on their way home, apparantly the 4 wheel drive went out on them, poor things. We figured this might be a possibility, it just happened sooner than we expected. When we got here in May, Cody noticed that the 4-wheel drive was on in the ford constantly. It's an old truck, so when you want to put it in 4 wheel drive you have to get out of the truck and do something to the tire, not sure exactly what. Well no one knew that before we got here, so everyone would drive the thing everywhere, even to town, with the 4- wheel drive on :( No Bueno! 
We are also starting the AI process on Sunday. The vet will come out and get it started but we aren't actually doing the AI till the beginning of November. I am super excited about seeing this be done. Cody has done this before at other ranches, but I haven't! I am not looking forward to running the doe through the shoot. We got a shipment of 25 Minnesota doe in yesterday. To make room for them we had to rearrange the doe we have. This was not pretty. This is the first time I have seen a doe being worked. I only helped for about 30 minutes and couldn't take it any longer. They would just jump in the fence for NO reason! Cody did eventually get all the babies in one pen to ween and all the Doe that will be bred to a Buck, separated in every other pen. They couldn't be side by side because the bucks might fight through the fence and that would not be pretty! Out little bottle fed fawns helped out a lot when we were trying to get the other fawns together. We just opened the gate to the bottle fed fawns and they just followed us around the alley, which made the other fawns more calm when they had to run past us. Cody's girl was just looking at them like they were crazy! We are still bottle feeding 1, the last preemie, and she is 2 months now and about ready to be weened! Yay!!! Almost done with that!!!!!!
