Della and Dutch

The experience of adding a new member of the family has so far been good for Dutch. He usually ignores Della for the most part except for when she cries. He really is good about letting Mom and Dad know that she is upset and he will run up to her room (or wherever she is crying) and whimper until one of us goes and checks on her. I am not sure if he is annoyed by the cry or just making sure we hear it. So far though, he is very good with Della and sniffs her head when we are holding her or when she is in her bouncy seat. He has not shown any signs of jealousy towards her and I think it will be really fun to see the two of them interact as she gets older. I am pretty sure that he is going to love it when she starts on solid foods in her high chair. If she is anything like normal babies, a good portion of her food will end up on the floor which will be the end of our No Human Food for the dog rule. Oh well. As soon as Della can start sitting up on her own, we are going to get a saddle for Dutch so she can have doggie rides!
