Day Nineteen 17/09/13

Mummy got home and weighed me as soon as she got in. I was now up to 99 g! She told me how proud she was that I'm putting on weight and growing!

Then it was time to feed me at about 7:30 am, she popped me on the counter and spooned the food into the lid and I cam running over and started to wolf the food down straight away. It was as if I could tell it was feeding time!

I licked up most the food in the bowl, and then I let out a loud squeak, telling mummy that I wanted her till fill my bowl up. She did and I continued to pig out.

After she fed me, daddy wiped me down and then took me back up to bed till my next feed.

At 11 am, mummy came and got me and brought me down again. She filled up my bowl and I happily ate from it. Letting out another squeak to tell her when my bowl was empty.

After I'd finished mummy wanted to take some cute photos of me with the hedgehog ornament her Grandma had given her. She she popped it next to me, and I straight away started to lick and chew it's nose, and then.... Mummy caught me self anointing! She was so pleased, and she said that seen as I like the hedgehog so much, I can have him in my new cage (which arrives tomorrow!!!!).

After all the excitement, mummy brought me back up to bed and settled me down till it was daddy's turn!

Daddy fed me from my bowl/jar lid at 3 pm, 6 pm and 9 pm. He now calls me greedy guts because of just how much I can eat.

After he'd fed me he popped me back into bed so him and mummy could leave for work.

Day Eighteen 16/09/13

When Mummy got home she took me downstairs and weighed me. I know weigh 94 g! I'm getting so close to 100 g!

After she weighed me it was feeding time at around 8 am. Starting off with a spoon full of baby food and kitten milk.

But She was really determined to get me weaned, so after I'd had a bit of food off the spoon, she put the baby food into the lid and used it like a little bowl.

She offered it to me and I finally started to lap from it! This means that now I'm getting the hang of more solid food and a bowl they can leave food in my new cage for me to eat when I want, so I'm not as reliant on them for as many of my feeds!

Part way through eating I stopped and went to the toilet, and mummy was happy because I had my first proper solid bowel movement, which means the baby food is really helping my digestion!

I still like to sit in my bowl after feeds so mummy had to give me a bath to wash the orange off me before popping me back in my bed!

At 11 am I had my second feed and I managed about a spoonful of food in the lid of the jar before I got fussy. Mummy tried to offer my my bottle to see if I would take it, but I just pushed it away with my nose! Mummy said she's proud of me, but I'm growing up too quick!

After my feed, she wiped me down and then took me back up to bed... Only 2 days till my new cage arrives!

At 3 pm, 6 pm and 9 pm it was daddy's turn to feed me, he fed me from a spoon however because mummy was asleep when he was feeding me and didn't get chance to tell him about my progress! I eat well with all my feeds and daddy had a big grin on his face at how well I'm doing!

After my last feed, he put me to bed and then him and mummy left for work.

Day Seventeen 15/09/13

Mummy came and got me for my feed at 8 am. She mixed a tiny amount of kitten milk with some baby food and offered me a spoonful of the mixture, which I began to lick up straight away. She did try some of the mix on a flat bowl, but that was a bit too much for me at the moment. One step at a time.

I probably managed about half a spoon full, before I started to try and play with the food instead of eating it. Mummy then offered me a bottle of milk, But I wouldn't take it. So although I'm not ready for a bowl just yet, my weaning is coming along well.

After my feed she gave me a quick bath as I was covered in bright orange baby food! And then it was back to bed for me. Mummy told me just before I settled down that my new cage should be delivered on Wednesday!

At 11 am, one of mummy's friends came over before work and she had a go at spoon feeding me. We both got absolutely covered, and I wasn't too happy with her picking me up after my feed and I squeaked a few times in protest until she game me back to mummy! I probably managed another half a spoonful of the baby food.

After another bath, mummy took me upstairs and settled me down in my bed.

At 3 pm, 6 pm and 9 pm it was daddy's turn to feed me, and he managed to get me to eat about a spoonful and a half overall of baby food. Having to wipe me down after each feed because I'm not the cleanest of eaters.

After my last feed it was time for bed, while mummy and daddy went to work. I was a little sad because they told me that they didn't have a day off until Thursday... I miss spending all day with them!
