Morning Beauty Rituals with Hope and Shorty

One of my biggest worries throughout the whole adoption process was how Shorty was going to react to another baby in our lives (he is our first baby). Well, I'm happy to say that things are going pretty well. Aside from the pathetic, guilt-wrenching looks directed at me, Shorty seems to be okay with Hope. He is actually pretty protective over her; he even runs to her side when she cries and tries to lick her.

In order to keep him from feeling neglected, we try to include him in as much baby stuff as possible. We make sure that he seated right by Hope's highchair, so we can give him treats while we feed her, and I have included him in Hope's morning grooming rituals. Unfortunately, Shorty enjoys sitting on the diaper changing pad more than Hope does. Below are some pictures from this morning's beauty session and some cute pics of Hope(a.k.a. Jane Fonda) in her leg warmers.
