Big "Brother" Rocco

When people ask us about Beckett, we often also get the question "And how is Rocco doing with him?" We are obviously obsessed with our first baby, the best and sweetest dog ever. We were actually a little worried about being able to give him enough attention when we had the baby. But he is doing GREAT!

He LOVES Beckett. He can't get enough of him. He is always trying to get a lick and sniff of the baby. Wherever Beckett is, Rocco is very close by, especially when we are playing on the floor. He is a little too excited sometimes (doesn't realize he is a 75 pound dog) so we have to reign him in. But I am so happy that his sweetness carries over to the baby and I can't wait for Beckett to get a little bigger and give him some love.

Here are some pics of the "brothers" from their 8 weeks together. 

We followed a few tips when we introduced Rocco and Beckett:

-Scott brought home the hat that Beckett wore right after he was born and let Rocco sniff it. 

-When we came home the next day, I went in first and greeted Rocco, let him smell me and gave him love. He sniffed me more than ever before and he was so excited so he must have not only missed me but smelled the baby all over me.

-Once I greeted him, Scott came inside with the baby carrier and we let Rocco sniff him.

I took a video of their first meeting. Enjoy!

 

Morning Play Time

Beckett absolutely loves his activity mat. (Thanks Aunt Steph!) He especially loves the black and white zebra that hangs down. He is fascinated by it. Here's a video I grabbed of him batting the animals and looking around.

I made the video using YouTube Capture which is an app for iPhone. I love my full size camera but my phone is always handy for cute pic and video moments. It's a pretty cool but now I know to turn my phone when I'm capturing footage! Sorry for the narrow angle.
