Arianna's Second Mommy

One of our biggest fears about bringing Arianna home was how our cat Gypsy would react to her.  Would she be jealous?  Would she try to retain our attention by acting out?  Or, in the extreme might she do something to the baby?  So for the past two weeks since we came home we have been watching her like hawks.  We have discovered to our joy that Gypsy has adopted Arianna and acts like a second Mom to her.  She watches over her in the Bassinet and Pack N Play, she comes to get us when Arianna is crying and generally keeps an eye on her whenever she is doing her floor time.  She also is very careful around her and seems to know that this is a new member of the family that she is also taking care of.  She has definitely imprinted on her as one of her own.
