The lamb is ten weeks old today. It seems like we have always had little Jakey as part of our family. He was a little sweetie tonight. I offered to give Ames the night off so she could have a relaxing evening. When I got home I bathed him. He enjoyed it up to the …

Batting and grasping
The weather over the weekend was absolutely appalling. We took Jakey shopping at Sainburg’s and we made the schoolboy error of forgetting the umbrella. I stayed in the car looking after Jake while Ames did the business. It was really tipping it down so there really wasn’t an option of taking Jakey out of the …
Jabs
Jake is nice and healthy according to the doctor so that’s a relief. He was a very good boy yesterday and went to bed after his feed at 7pm. What a little pet! Today Amy took him for his first lot of jabs which included diptheria, polio and meningitus to name a few. Amy said …
Poor Lamb
I have spent two days off work with a stinking cold. Poor Jake is fairing no better and has a hacking cough and a slight wheeze. Last night we decided to take him to the hospital because we were worried about his chest which seemed a little rattly. Jake was given a pre-evaluation pretty quickly …
Two months tomorrow
It’s another Monday morning and rather grey outside. Jake is suffering with a cold and so is his Daddy, although shamefully I must say that he seems to be coping better then I am. The poor little mite keeps waking in the night coughing and spluttering. Notwithstanding his cold, last night, for the first time, …
Big sleep
It was bliss to have the day off yesterday. It does make a difference to have a long weekend. I went with Amy to the drop-in clinic to have Jake weighed. He is piling on the pounds and is now 9 pounds 11 which is just above the weight his should be on his weight …
Seven weeks
Jake is now seven weeks old. I have to say that the last couple of days have been very difficult. Jake has been uncomfortable and crying inconsolably a lot of the time. In addition he has been feeding twice as much as previously. This has led us to believe that the little mite is going …
Winston
It is 9.47pm and both of us are feeling shattered. At least tomorrow is Friday and it is a long weekend. Hooray! Jake is now having his last feed before going to bed. He is losing his hair at an alarming rate, but only on the top like an old man or indeed Winston Churchill. …
Almost six weeks
Tomorrow Jakey will be six weeks old. He is growing so fast it’s unbelievable. We read in our baby book yesterday that he will start to lose his Moro reflex(which I love) and his grasp reflex :-(. We think that he may be a bit coliccy again as he has started to grunt and writhe …
One month old
Jake is one month old today. In some respects it seems to have flown by and in others it seems much longer. It is known as a paradox. Amy had another bad night as Jake just refused to settle himself for bed. This morning when I woke she was in no mood to speak so …
