Well, as many of you know, Josie has decided that she no longer wants the bottle. She will go all day without drinking anything but water. Atleast she is eating table food, like it may disappear any minute. We have tried every trick that people have suggested to us. Even the doctor doesn't know what to think of Josie not taking the bottle. One good thing is that Josie still nurses morning and night. We were just starting to wean her to formula when this bye, bye bottle started. We do think that she is starting to get some more teeth, so hopefully they poke through soon and she will start on the bottle again. She has started drinking some whole milk now, only several ounces per day, as we don't want her to have too much too soon. With all of this going on, I also came down with Mastitis earlier this week. I know have a new found pain, that I hope to never have to experience again. It was a good thing that we recognized the symptoms fairly quickly and went in to the doctor right away. Thank goodness for good drugs!
Luke also got his brand new discbine last week and was busy all weekend with hay. We are also up to 25 calves born, but unfortunately we lost 1 calf due to the heat. We still have 3 more cows that have not had calves, but we have have another month to go.
Our garden is doing wonderfully. We've even had to pick all of our radishes already. And yes I did try them, although I didn't really care for them.
Josie is still walking along everything and climbing off of her toys. Almost every morning we find her standing in her crib waiting for someone to get her out. She is such a joy and we are so very lucky to have such a wonderful little girl that is always so happy.
