Meet Callisto

Wanda came and got her baby Thursday evening, so we were able to name our baby. Meet Callisto! We think she is very beautiful. She loves to hop and climb on us. She's very friendly already and doing great.

See, they are smaller than the chickens! I am amazed by how small they are.

At least than 24 hours old she was already trying to climb on things!

All goats love kisses.

We are beyond thrilled with our little girl. Io is being the best mom in the world. I have some videos I'll try to post soon.
