When Elijah was born Plato (our 2 year old Puggle) stayed with my brother and his fiance Andrea for a week. He has been fun to watch as he gets used to Elijah. He is very good overall just a little bit to eager. He loves the little guy and always wants to be near him and lick him. He gets so excited when he gets to be near the baby. His little curly tail wags back and forth. In the mornings the baby and I sleep in and Aaron takes Plato down stairs. Instead of sleeping on the sofa like he used to now he sleeps outside our bedroom door until we get up.
Below is a picture of the first time Plato met Elijah. He kept trying to sneak closer and closer to him inch by inch, as you can see.
Plato sleeping on Aaron’s feet. I just like this picture so I thought I’d post it.
It looks like he’s lying on the baby but really he is next to him. He very rarely is allowed to get this close.
This is a very common occurrence, when someone his holding Elijah, Plato finds a way to stick wiggle himself as close as possible to the baby, until we yell at him to back off. Every once in a while he gets his way.
Looking from a distance.
Trying to join the snuggle.
And again…
And again!
I love all of the swaddle pics! It takes me back! Courtney always got her little hand poked out and when free, slept with her hands up just like Elijah’s. So sweet!!
Plato’s such a cutey….
So..remember the favor you asked on that facebook picture a few months ago..I’m going to have to kindly yet harshly demand the same for this picture. Immediately.
Poor Plato! He’s thinking, “Oh no, I’m not the baby anymore!” and wants to figure out this new object of everyone’s attention 🙂
Your photos are great – I’m glad you’re keeping the blog going. It’s so much fun to follow the adventures.
