Best Buds

It has been really fun(ny) to watch Aiden and Bailey's relationship grow.  When Aiden was first born, Bailey didn't pay much attention to him.  Bailey quickly became protective and interested in Aiden's little noises, and worried about his cries.  Now that Aiden is getting around and is pretty quick, Bailey is learning that some times he needs to just get away and go where Aiden can't get to him.  Aiden especially likes to grab Bailey's dog tags and tug on them.  Bailey has learned that Aiden doesn't like when Bailey licks his hands.  So, it usually turns into a little back and forth game between the two of them-Aiden grabs, Bailey licks, Aiden releases, repeat. As annoyed as Bailey may appear  at times, he does have a devotion to Aiden.  I do often catch them in moments together, but the camera is never close by.  After Aiden's bath every night I (Jen) lay him on our bed while he drinks his bottle and I drain the tub and clean up all his toys.  When I came back in to the bedroom, I caught them like this......

Luckily, this time, I was able to grab the camera and capture the moment.  It's moments like this that I do love that Aiden will grow up with a dog.  Of course, if you catch me in a moment when I am standing at the back door screaming at Bailey to come inside-I may have a different opinion.  But, in all seriousness, I am really glad that Aiden and Bailey have each other.
