The Dais

When you have a new baby, there's lots of questions people ask you:

"How's breastfeeding?"  ("urgh")

"How does he sleep?" ("awesome, knock on wood")

"Are you enjoying maternity leave?" ("way more than anyone would have anticipated")

"Does he have a personality?"  ("so chill, like his Dad")

My favorite though? 

"How's Daisy handling a new baby?"

Daisy is AWESOME

Our sweet spoiled "first" child has handled having a baby in the house better than either of us ever could have anticipated.

She knows she can sniff the baby, lick/kiss hands, and lick feet, but can't lick face.  And she mostly abides by that. 

She knows to walk around the baby not over the baby.

She knows if we say "no more kisses" to leave him alone.

When she's out in the backyard taking care of business and I need her to go inside I say "where's your baby?" and she runs inside.

And he's starting to notice her.  He likes to touch her fur and tongue when she's around.  He follows her around the room with his eyes, and now rolls in her direction when she's nearby,

The Dais?  She is awesome and we are lucky to have such an amazing dog and "big sister".
