Either PJ was having a really good dream, a strong case of gas, or a nice nap with his dad. I like to think the latter is the case. My wife was kind enough to grab my camera and document the possibility that yes, my boy likes me!<\/p>\n<p>One concern we had was how Scooter would take to a baby. Having a jealous pet is one thing, having one that can fly and dive-bomb is another! True to his sweet personality, Scooter accepted PJ from day one and gives him a wide berth. If we let PJ sleep on our bed for an afternoon nap, Scooter perches atop the closet door, fluffs up, and guards the baby for us.<\/p>\n<p>This is an interesting stage in a newborn, where they start to develop personality and become more expressive. I can&#8217;t wait until he starts to babble and smile and all that! Even more I look forward to taking him hiking with me, maybe giving him a little digital camera of his own, and having some father-son time as we ramble around Bismarck-Mandan and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We three amigos were playing the part of couch pilot Saturday.
