My name is ChiChi

Well it is about time that people got to see me again!

Do you remember me?

Oh! First I must tell you of the mostest excitingest thing ...
My Auntie Margarita has named me!

My name is ChiChi ...
Oh I am indeed!

But ... Mommy human calls me her little Oink!

I don't think that's a bad thing. I have been working hard at earning the title. I am growing into a big boy squirrel ... and doing very well at it if I do say so myself. I even eat a bit of rice cereal with my milk now! Man-O-man is it Gooood! Human Momma squirrel has to slow me down when I eat or I blow bubbles outta my nose, I eat my bottle so fast! But the cereal makes me so content I can hardly wait to fill my tummy. (Human Momma person is happy that I sleep more now between meals too.)

I am changing so fast. I have a sweet personality starting to surface BIG time. I like to nuzzle mommas hand when she reaches into my basket (which delights me.) The reaction i get is wonderful ... so I go out of my way to get to her hand whenever I know it is there. I crawl bestest I can, fast as I can ... She swoops me up and nuzzles my fat belly with little puffs of warm breath. It makes me wiggle and coo aloud. I like it when she blows on my face too. I Squeal, open my mouth wide and beg her to do it again.

I am a DARLING -- mama person says so! I have to take her word for it as my eyes will not open yet for another week or so ... however, anyday now my ears will open & I will be able to hear her voice! Until then I practice my squeaky-cute voice and call to her from my basket bed ... I know she can hear me because she comes to check on me and if I am very lonely, she lets me snuggle next to her heart. I think maybe I can feel her heartbeat. I always stop crying when I am there.

You have missed out on so much of my progress. Let me catch you all up to date!

I found a little fur buddy to hug ...

I felt much better about being left alone with my buddy to hug & snuggle with while I slept. And I sleep a lot! I have a hot water bottle that mama person keeps at just the best temperature ever. If it gets too warm though ... I can crawl off the edge of the blankets to cool myself. I am now able to even get back on my own & crawl UNDER the soft blanket if I want to ...
ALL BY MYSELF!

I have been busy turning from pink to gray ...
Oh but this was me last week.
I am such a ham though so ... LOOKIE lookie!
I discovered I can hold my head up!!

I just keep looking more and more like a little gray squirrel every day. Really ... You have NO idea ::heehee::

Oh I betcha you are Impressed?
Nah. Wait until you see me now!

Better visit back soon ... 'Cause tomorrow morning ...
Human Mama person will post my latest photos.

And ... You will never believe it is me!

-^.^- see you mañana
love, ChiChi ... da oink

What a complete miracle! You are so sweet to be taking such good care of ChiChi. He's a lucky little squirrel baby. It's just so wonderful ~ I'm so glad he's doing so well! Keep up the good work!

Dear Chi Chi,
You certainly are a beautiful little squirrel. No wonder your human mama brags about you so much. I can't wait to see how you grow. I wish I could meet you in person...I have never met a baby squirrel. We have red squirrels and black squirrels here in Nebraska. They are so fun to watch as they jump over piles of leaves and play tag in the big maple tree in my backyard. In the winter we put our squirrel chair out. It has a place on the table for an ear of corn and if you open the lid of the chair, there are goodies hidden inside....
Keep being a little oinker and please keep us posted on your progress. Tell mama hi!
