Since a lot has happened when my sister was born 2 months ago on August 7th, I have a lot to catch everyone up on! So today I’m going to start at the beginning, the day we first met.

My sister had to stay in the hospital for 2 whole days after she was born. But finally the day came when she got to come home.

It was an agonizing wait for me, as I stayed at the farm with my pal Trooper while my family was in the hospital. It was especially hard when I got to smell her baby blanket days before she came home, but yet still I had to wait to meet her. Then finally it was August 9th, the day she came home.

As you could see in the video, I could hardly wait to meet her. I got to say hi to mom and dad first before she came inside, and I knew things were going to be different after sniffing mom’s belly when she walked in the door. My sister was out in the world now, and I was going to have to make sure she stayed safe.

Of course before I did that I had to open the present mom and dad brought me. Priorities.

But after that, it was love. I went everywhere sister went, and made sure no one was going to hurt her. That’s what big brothers do.

Now that she’s a little bigger I’ve let go a little and I’m not so clingy. I have to learn to let her be independent after all, as there is much to teach her! Don’t worry though, if anyone messes with her I’ve got a pretty big guard dog bark!

Is your dog as protective as me?

On Sunday I had the feeling that something exciting was going to happen.

Clue number one was that I had to get dressed up!

Mom said we were going to have a Baby Shower for her cousin.

“Does this mean I’ll get to play with Babies?” – Me

“Not quite, but there will be cupcakes & diapers” – Mom

So I parked myself on the couch and waited for these so called cupcakes & diapers to arrive.

And I waited.

And then just as I was getting really tired of waiting…

The cupcakes arrived! (I may or may not have licked a few…..shhhh!)

In fact, lots of food arrived. I tried my best to look awfully cute so that the mom-to-be would send some treats my way, but it didn’t quite work out as planned.

So instead I took a break from party mode and took a nap on the couch for a while.

I instantly perked up though when I heard we were gonna play some party games. “Games? I love games!”

“Someone help me cut my ribbon so I can guess how big the baby belly is!”

Then the highlight of my day….the diapers arrived! And you’ll never guess what. There was melted chocolate inside of them……sweet glorious day.

Apparently it was for some game where you have to guess which melted chocolate bar is inside the diaper. I think I need to brush up on my chocolate bars, because I failed miserably….even with a few taste tests!
