I got a call today from my friend, telling me she got 2 new baby quakers. I rushed over to take a look. Both were very cute, but the one I chose was sooooo cudly. I held him for a long time and talked to him. I would move my finger away from his face and he would throw his head back towards my finger until I moved it back by his face. After a while, I had to leave and handed him over to my friend, and as I was saying my good-byes, he jumped from her hand right into mine! She said it would be about 4 weeks before he can come home. I miss him already and we just met!

We named him Pickles because of a cartoon me and my daughter like to watch together. There is a little girl that comes up with all the crazy ideas to help fix something and when it is explained to her that it wont work-she says, "awwwww, pickles". I always thought it was cute.

So here he is...(hopefully, this works)

Doesnt it look like he is smiling in the 3rd pic? hee hee

wub.gif Congrats!! I don't think that there is anything more adorable than a Quaker baby!
absster
Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!!!

I am so elated right now!!!!

I probably wont get to visit him tomorrow, but I plan on going to see him on Friday. Luckily, he is staying a few miles away from me-so not real far. And of course, he will have his picture taken often. I told him he better just get use to it between my daughter and him-plus I have my own photography company-he will be seeing a lot of my camera!! I do need to get a different lens-mine isnt made for those close of shots.

Is there anything cuter in this world than a hairless QUAKER?

Cuter than naked quaker babies? There may be a few things cuter, but not much!

YES!! We really like watching Higglytown Heroes! Great...now I am going to have the song stuck in my head. I'm guessing since you recognized it, you have watched it at least a few times.
