When we first came home from the hospital with Brayden, Bailey (the dog) was very protective of him and would even wake up at night and whine when Brayden cried. Well that was short-lived and only lasted two days until Bailey realized that he was losing out on some of the "extra" attention he used to get. Now trust me, the dog still gets plenty of attention, but yes he developed some jealously toward Brayden. For crying out loud, the dog used to bark and try and jump up when Dan and I talked or hugged.
Well, I am happy to say that Bailey is starting to come around. Now he still is a bit jealous and will try and lay in between Brayden and I (or Dan) when we are on the floor, but he is getting there. Each day Brayden becomes more and more aware of Bailey and loves to just still and stare at him. I wish I knew what he was thinking...("What kind of crazy looking thing is that?!"). Brayden is also starting to reach out and pet Bailey when he walks by him...well it is more of a grab / swat of his hands. I am not too sure how fond Bailey is of Brayden's new interest in him, but he will go up and lick Brayden from time to time.
