The Babysitters

I had written in a post earlier at how lucky we were that our pets (all 5 of them) have accepted and even learned to love Finley. Do you think Finley will look back at these pictures and be mortified that he was surrounded by cats and dogs as a tiny baby? Finley seems to enjoy laying on the floor with the pets. He loves to watch the dogs and never minds when a cat joins us on my lap when he is taking a bottle. I'll have to capture one of those cute moments sometime. Mostly we call our dog Howie the "babysitter" because he is never too far from Finley. When Finley goes down in his crib- Howie goes into the room to lay down too. Howie is pretty much there for every diaper change, he gets nervous when Finley is on the floor and watches over him pretty much all the time. He is always in the way when I try to take pictures. Sometimes I even get questioning looks from Howie if Finley gets fussy as if he is saying "What are you doing wrong- the baby is crying?" All in all its very cute.
