Well, I started with ANH… I knew I would. Of course she might not remember much of this yet… but, then again, I remember watching Hee-Haw when I was almost this young. She loves it by the way.

Tarantula

Yesterday morning on the way into town we saw a beautiful “pink-toed” tarantula crawling across the road in front of our house.  We didn’t have time to stop and see him, but we slowed down and had a good look from the car.

Well, when we got home yesterday night the power was out at the house (lighting) and so I had to get out of the car to crank the gate open.  Low and behold who should come walking out of the scrub brush by the gate but the very same tarantula!  This time I did pick him up and put him in a box we had in the car.

I kept him for a few hours, then let him go.  I didn’t want to have to catch food for him and everything… and I’m sure I’ll see him around.

So… here are a couple of videos of me with him.  DO NOT watch these if you’re squeamish with “spiders” at all!

In part 1 I say, “tarantulas are the opposite of spiders…” What I meant to say is they’re the opposite of snakes. You’ll understand why when you watch the video. In the 2nd video I call him a “pinky” tarantula… I thought, and meant, that he was a “pink-toed” tarantula… but actually I believe he was a “desert blonde tarantula” instead.

Our cat eats differently than most cats. We believe it’s her Egyptian name — King Tut’s granddaughter — that has rubbed off on her as believing she is royalty.

Here’s a short video of Scottlyn’s first trip onto the back porch.  She loves it… and since we filmed this going outside and looking around is one of her favorite “awake time” activities.

Yes, we’ll be documenting every stage of Scottlyn’s devlopment.  Look forward to Scottlyn focuses on something, Scottlyn looks like she might have smiled, and Scottlyn holds her head up.  (Not really… but I had to laugh at how much I enjoy putting videos of her on here.) :)

Sitamun did really well with meeting Scottlyn. She’s known something was “up” for a while now I think. So this came as no real surprise. She’s been watching her intently. Very sweet.

Going Home

Scottlyn and mama rode in the back seat together on the way home from the hospital.  Scottlyn just looked around and was really interested the whole time.  Mama sang to her some, and we listened to Paul Simon’s album “Surprise”… especially song #11.  It was a great little trip home and we’re so thankful!

Here’s a video of the first time (since right after the birth) that Scottlyn got to be held “skin to skin” by Celeste.  This was videoed on Friday afternoon, the 31st of July.
