Andy and baby are doing a bit better

Andy is tolerating the baby's noises, and having her around him much better. Don't get me wrong, there are still times when he has a huge meltdown because she let out a squeal. But the fact that she can be around him part of the time is huge for us. He was watching her standing up yesterday, and he was smiling at her. Almost like he was showing that he's happy she can stand up on her own now.

A lot of times, the baby likes to crawl right over Andy, and try to take his toys away. When she does this though, Andy can here us correcting her, and he knows we are trying to teach her not to do this. He's very tolerant when she comes at him, and I am thankful for this also. The baby is also starting to get jealous when she sees us offering Andy his cup of water for a drink. She starts crying and saying "no, no, no".

We were so frightened when we started this new journey of raising a baby with Andy to care for as well. We are so thankful to have her, and thankful that it has been enjoyable, and Andy has been doing okay for the most part. We are hoping they will soon be great friends, and the baby will want to help care for him and continue to be a wonderful part of the family.
