14 January 2011

We had a funny morning today. A bird flew into our backyard while I was trying to feed you and Hamish and Rory were trying to catch it. So I had to stop feeding you and go and distract the puppies. I bought them into the house and kept feeding you because you were a bit annoyed that I had stopped. After I finished with your feeding, I went out to see if the bird was still there - and it was, so I fed it some weetbix while I tried to work out what to do with it. It was quiet used to humans so I think it was someones pet - I rang the vet to let them know and they said they couldn't do much for it as its a pest species. So after a couple of hours I rang a wild life rescue place and they were happy to take the bird. So we had to catch the bird and drive it down to the rescue place - so thats what we did this morning. You acompanied me during all this drama.

Your first pet bird - only for a few hours!
In the evening, Aunty Melissa came to visit you after work. She was shocked to see how much you had grown in the past two weeks. She's right - you are getting much bigger, I weighed you at mother's group yesterday and you were 4.5 kilograms - thats almost double your birthweight! While she was here I noticed that you have started holding your own head up for a little bit at a time. This is really good progress baby boy, but sad to see you growing up so quickly at the same time! I love you my little poppet!
