A Good "Big Brother"

Baby Gabe loves to play on the floor and use his Activity Gym mat for daily "tummy time" and exercise. I was really worried about our "first baby" (Wilbur) with a newborn in the house, but "Big Brother" is doing just fine.

In preparation, Daddy came home from the hospital the night before Mommy and Baby Gabe, and brought a receiving blanket that we had used so Wilbur could smell it and get used to it. We also allowed Wilbur to "test" every toy and baby gift we received for Quality Assurance and he certainly approved.

It was so adorable to watch Wilbur with the baby on the floor as he sniffed around the mat and layed on it with Gabe and licked him in the face as they watched the toys swing and listened to the music play. I no longer worry about the Chow being an agressive breed and Wilbur being spoiled rotten, when it comes to the baby. He is so good with him, as you can clearly see!
