00:00It's been almost a year since I had my baby and my dog still has only child syndrome

00:04Kobe

00:05Kobe no

00:07Seen dog and baby accounts on Instagram gave me kind of unrealistic expectations

00:16Extremely rude Kobe I kind of expected it to be like a Disney movie where they're all happy Kobe

00:21No, but that was not my situation at all

00:27He loves the baby in his own special way

00:30If he catches us giving the baby too much attention

00:33He gets this look in his eye and he starts looking for something to steal in order to get attention

00:38I'm always keeping an eye on Kobe and Lexi to make sure they're both safe and it never fails that I catch Kobe stealing

00:42Something from her. That was rude. You were trying to play with that

00:47That was rude

00:49Kobe no, I left it there for her to put up

00:52rude

00:54Excuse me, sir. That's not yours

00:57Kobe this is not for you. Oh Kobe. That was her job

01:01Excuse you. No, I think his favorite thing to steal from the baby are clothes

01:08Hat

01:12That's rude her stuffies the list goes on

01:21Even before the baby arrived he thought everything was for him

01:26I love you mom

01:28When we were setting up the nursery Kobe tried to be super involved

01:34He would just be stealing pieces of the furniture

01:43I'm trying to put the stroller together

01:45You can't just take pieces of it. That's for baby sister

01:49That's brand new that's for baby sister

01:51No preparing for the baby. I did bring home like a baby doll, but he honestly just looked at it like it was a stuffy

01:58When the baby came home, it was an adjustment for everyone. Kobe was still demanding a lot of attention

02:05It wasn't exactly what I expected at all, but with time we figured out our routine and he adjusted well

02:12Kobe I

02:13Try to make sure that Kobe still feels loved by giving him little bits of attention during the day

02:18Try to make sure that he gets some one-on-one time every single day

02:21One of my favorite things about being a mom to both a dog and a baby is when he walks in the room

02:26She lights up when she sees him. Did you miss him all night?

02:35Kobe is such a great big brother because he is so affectionate with the baby

02:38He's always trying to snuggle with her kiss her just love on her in any way that he can

02:44Even though being a dog mom and a real mom isn't exactly what I expected. The journey has been nothing short of sweet

02:52He's still the best big brother. Their relationship is something I cherish so much and that kind of makes it all worth it
