Pics of my babies - furry and otherwise

I could have sworn that I posted an update about the newest member of our pack who was born a bit over a month ago - Kaiden! Am I hallucinating having posted about this? I couldn't find my post. Oh well. So I am sharing some pics of the baby and of the baby and the dogs. The dogs love the baby. The baby seems to like the dogs as well. I, of course don't leave them unsupervised together because that just isn't wise despite how wonderful and sweet my pups are.

But the dogs will cuddle up to us when we are holding the baby. And they try to sneak in as many kisses as they can. They are also quite protective of the baby, always checking on him, on high alert for anyone coming near the house. And when he cries the come and try to "tell" me... as if I can't clearly hear my screaming child. Still it is all very sweet and adorable.

First photo with the baby, this was right after he was born:

And here a lot more photos that I have taken since....

Diesel takes his job as guardian to the new baby very seriously and because of this we aren't the only ones who are sleep deprived. He is feeling the suffering of late night feedings as much as we are.

Little Kaiden definitely is already showing signs of stubborness and attitude at just one month old:

And I suspect he knows that he has everyone wrapped around his fingers with his cuteness.

Kahlua absolutely adores him and snuggles up as close to him and I every chance she can get. If I let her she would cuddle and kiss him all day long every day.

Snuggling my little guy.

Poor Diesel is feeling all of those late nights and middle of the night feedings. Being a nanny dog and guardian dog is tough work.

Kaiden spent a week in the NICU after birth which was super stressful on all of us. Right when he brought him home the dogs immediately went into guardian mode.
The picture below was taken right after we brought him home from the NICU.

My baby bear has recently discovered his tongue and he loves to stick it out.

Both the dogs and the cat in full guardian mode because a homeless person parked their truck outside our house. Yes I did call the cops and get them kicked out. The dogs aren't the only ones in full defensive mode.

Kaiden is starting to notice the dogs and he gets excited when they cuddle nearby. Lots of smiles and surprised faces.

More pictures...

Kahlua likes to share my lap with Kaiden. I will often have the baby on one leg and Kahlua on the other.

This one cracks me up because he looks offended at having to share my lap. Of course he was all smiles and happiness moments later

Halloween... I was a bunny and Kaiden was my carrot.

Oh Sweety, you did really good, he's a beauty, and I don't know if anyone else noticed, but, he really looks like you, especially, that one picture, wrapped up sticking his tongue out. It made me laugh.

So glad the dogs are being the best big brother and sister, guarding and helping and offering a paw when needed.

Hugs to you and yours. Keep the pics coming, we love them, both the two- and four-legged ones.

Just went through the pics again, wonderful! I love how the dogs snuggle with the baby and especially the one of Kahlua and Kaiden snuggled together...is it me or do they have the same sleepy expression.

And I love, love, love the pic of the two dogs and the cat standing guard looking out the window. What a beautiful four-legged family.

You are truly blessed Honey. Give that big Daddy Dog a hug for me and let him know we like his pics with baby, too. (We don't want jealousy here:rolleyes:)
