    Every time there’s a baby giraffe story, I still find it hard to wrap my head around the idea of a newborn baby who is more than a foot taller than me…

      Just the derpiest creatures, wobbling precariously mere minutes after unceremoniously plummeting from Mom to Mother Earth.

        I’ve heard the drop explained as their version of being smacked on the butt to get them breathing.

    Happy birthday to the new babies and to Elle the wombat, now that’s a birthday party I would love to attend.

      Yeah, I think Elle got exactly what she wanted for her birthday!

      Elle is an especially cute wombat!

    Babies!! They have me babbling and goo goo gooing this morning. That giraffe looks like a stuffie come to life. And baby chimps just look like a hairier version of a human baby but still oh so cute. It’s only right that the railroad kitty was elevated to a Shinto goddess, that’s how they see themselves anyway. I’m extremely chuffed that my invite to the party of the year was lost in the mail, and I had the best present of all for Elle!

    Another off topic but had a random act of vandalism happen right in front of me this morning. As I’m leaving to go to work, a lady started coming up my neighbor’s driveway and then chucked two bricks at his windows, breaking one of them! She took off running after I yelled at her. I was like What!!??!! The world has definitely gone crazy. My neighbor tried to find her and we called the cops. They came out and luckily we had it all recorded on our doorbell camera so gave that to the officer in case she’s ever caught. Police think it was probably a random attack by a homeless person. Fingers crossed she doesn’t come back and start throwing bricks at our place. Hope everyone’s day is better than mine.

    Its a shame that baby giraffe isn’t photogenic or charismatic. Especially that second where he’s nuzzling with mom.

    If I were Korbel champagne cellars, i’d be making a donation,
