JoJo Our Baby Joey Is Growing Up

Our little baby kangaroo is finally growing up. Jojo is finally gaining some weight and getting a little bit taller too. She weighs about 3 kg now and is about 55 cms tall. We are still feeding her milk, but she started eating grass, which is a big step for a little baby joey and a really good sign.
She is jumping higher and faster now and if you don’t pay attention for a second she’ll be gone!
Jojo is very curious and interested in everything and everyone.  She even gets her head out of the pouch just to observe. Jojo starts biting on everything and she is really cheeky. As soon as she gets out of her pouch, she stands up and starts scratching herself like humans do! It looks so funny! First Jojo leans back and scratches her back and then she has to scratch her tummy!
One morning at about 5 am she jumped out of her pouch, which was hanging next to the window and made a loud noise, so we would wake up and take care of her! She definitely knows what she wants and how to get it!
