We were both pretty interested to see how Bailey would react to having this new little creature in the house that would occupy so much of our time and energy. He's been used to being the one and only child in our home for 4 years now, so we knew this would be a shock to his system. However, we could never have imagined how well he'd take to little Carrie! He's immune to her cries and doesn't mind them in the least (of course, it could be that he has her on "ignore" as well...not sure!) Whenever we take her into her room to change her diaper he always tags along and hangs out in there while we clean her up, then comes out again when we leave.
However, yesterday he did the coolest thing that showed us that he does care that she's around and he wants to know where she is at all times. While I was feeding her on the couch, Bailey all of a sudden realized he wasn't quite sure where Carrie was at that point in time. He stood up and went over to her bouncer seat and looked in...no baby. He cocked his head as if to say "Now, I know she hangs out in here - why isn't she in here now???" He then went to inspect the pack-n-play, since he can peek in the sides and see her there...still, no baby. Then he got frantic and came running over to me and put his head on the Boppy pillow and realized that she was there, safe and sound. He just sort of laid his head on the pillow, looked at her for a few seconds, and then satisfied that everyone was accounted for, went back to lay down and take a nap. Dogs are pretty cool animals :)
