Pushing my pram around the farm, I was singing Old MacDonald to my boy.
And on that farm he had some cows…
‘Cows!’ Joey replied excitedly – they were his favourite animal.

Joey had been a chatterbox since he was born, always making some sort of noise.
And only able to say a couple of words, he loved pointing out his favourite animals.
At 11 months old, Joey had been developing well.

Born on 27 February 2020, weighing 7lb 4oz, he was a happy, heathy baby from day one.
My then-partner Liam, 33, and I were thrilled with how quickly he met
