The Guardian

Micah now has a protector and guardian with his older brother Boomer. While doing yard work today, we caught Boomer protecting Micah while he slept:

Micah also wants Boomer to look the same as him (please refer to the Dandy Lion post) so he placed a dandelion on his head:

The guardian photo looks cute but it is actually rather amazing because Boomer treats babies and small kids the same as he treats cats. He is LEERY of cats and honestly chooses to ignore the fact that cats exist. We saw this behavior with his cousins Jake, Matthew, and Ian. Boomer has been avoiding Micah since he was born. 12 weeks later, though, Boomer is starting to accept his new/future tormentor. He is still hesitant about Micah but at least will sniff him for a few seconds. I even saw him give Micah a lick on his face the other day. No photo unfortunately…
