One of the most unusual things through all of this, has been our dog, Sonya’s reaction towards the baby. When we 1st came home from the hospital Sonya was allowed the obligatory 1st sniff of the baby and that was about it.
Now that she has been home for sometime, the dog has become protective of her. On at least 2 occasions when Sarah was crying and we were trying to be strong parents and not rush to her, Sonya would go over near the baby, come back to us and bark at us. I think she was either trying to tell us to go help the baby or to shut her up.
Also, one time we were in the bedroom changing Sarah and she was crying up a storm. (This kid does not like to be naked!) Sonya was outside the door and was so concerned she hit the door with her head or paw to be let in. Once I opened the door, she had to have a look and see what was going on. Pretty neat.
I think Sonya is extending the “pack” to include the baby in it. Maybe this means they will become great friends as Sarah grows up.
There are a few more pictures up on Baby – Page 3 of baby and Daddy.
