Wally's Transition

Aaron and I were both really nervous about how Wally would handle his new little sister.  He was REALLY hyper when we first got home.  We attributed this to the fact that we'd been gone for so many days and people were coming and going to help take care of him.  I think he was just really excited to see us after so long.

At first, he barked every time Zoe cried.  OMG, I almost lost my mind.  I could not take that.  Thankfully, Little Miss didn't (and still doesn't) even flinch when Big Brother decides to use his voice.  Nonetheless, it was annoying for me.  That stopped after the first or second day though.  I think he just needed to get used to her.

Since she's still so small and sleeping, eating, and pooping (repeat), she really has no interest in Wally at all just yet.  Wally will sniff her and try to lick her every once in a while, but that's about it.  The transition definitely went much better than to be expected.

I do feel bad for him.  I cried when we left him on our way to the hospital since I knew his world was about to change.  He's definitely getting less attention.  I'm hoping that once we get into our routine and know what we are doing, we'll have a little more time for him again.  Aaron does a good job of balancing it out since I am focusing 100% of my efforts on Little Miss and feeding her.

I hope Wally knows we still love him and that we need just a little more time for the adjustment period.  He's still my first baby!
