Puppy Love

JP has really started interacting with the dogs. And for the most part, the dogs enjoy JP. Sydney (brown sheltie) has surprised us the most as she is our most hyper and high-maintenance, but she's incredibly calm and patient with the baby. He likes to point at her "parts" (eyes, ears, mouth, nose) and she just stands there and takes it. He will also wrap his arms around her neck to give her hugs and again, she just stands there. Today, she was getting a drink and he walked up beside her and pushed her face away from the bowl. (of course, I corrected JP, but Sydney just stepped back...I'm sure she was fantasizing about biting his hand off, but she didn't! lol)

Today, he learned how to play fetch with the dogs. In the past, he would cry when the dogs would chase the ball. I guess he thought they were hurt or fighting. But, with the help of Daddy, he figured out how fun fetch can be!

Another dog-related tid-bit...JP LOVES playing in the dog food. He won't eat it, he just carries it around. Yesterday, I found two small morsels on the kitchen table (he can reach it now) and a single morsel on Jason's nightstand. I asked him if he had put the morsel of dog food on his nightstand and he said no. Which leaves one suspect....I'm sure we'll find some in the bathtub soon!

Here is JP playing with two pieces and sharing one with Jackson:
