Crosby's 2nd Mama

Since we brought Crosby home from the hospital, it's been known at our house that he has two mamas! I'm his biological mother, then he has his adoptive mom, Banya, our 130+ pound St. Bernard. Having been a mother of numerous litters, she definitely is a veteran.

In true mother fashion, she smothers him with kisses and wants to know where he is at all times. She gets up every time he fusses. She's memorized his hang outs. If he's sleeping, she needs to check for his whereabouts: the Boppy, his highchair, our room, and his room and crib.

She is also a huge fan of his things. In the first months of Crosby's arrival, Banya managed to eat a couple of pacifiers, two bibs, and a burp cloth. Don't worry, these things all reappeared several days later during the hours of 2 and 4 am on our bedroom carpet. :( She has her eyes on his Sophie Giraffe, but this mama is doing her best to protect that.

I think Crosby is realizing who she is and on several occasions has even reached out to her. She's been a good mama.

Banya might have some competition though. This week Crosby had a sleepover at Auntie Kelly's and her dog, Riley was just as obsessed.
