They grow so fast!

Our first Nubian kid was born three weeks ago today. We've weighed him each Saturday night since he was born. The weights are as follows: 9.5 lbs (birth), 13 lbs, 17.5 lbs, and tonight he's 21.6 lbs. He's a singleton with an apparently healthy appetite so I expected him to gain quickly but sheesh! He comes from smaller lines but he's quite the chunk.

You wouldn't believe he was the same kid unless you watched him grow up! I know the feeling!

Pics as promised! He's a rowdy little guy.

He sure is looking like a really nice little guy!

He's a long-eared Bambi! So cute! And HUGE! What a good mama he has....

I was smooching up my Ginger tonight and thinking about how tiny she was just last year, and now her baby is half her size and I will be smooching her up next year, thinking about how cute she was when SHE was little! And how cute HER babies are!

eta: Did that make any sense?

 

[SDGsoap&dairy]

That makes perfect sense! This kid is so people friendly, just like his dam. He's getting as much smooching as I can fit in before he goes home with his new family at 8 weeks. If he were a doe he'd be a keeper for sure. Hopefully next year she'll give us a girl!
