Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Baxter is 9 years old. I have owned him since he was 12 weeks old. At the time when I purchased him my oldest son was 7 years old. Baxter did great with that age and older. Fast forward to 18 months ago when my 2nd son was born. Baxter is uneasy inside the house around my youngest. He has a low growl when my youngest comes within sight. I was hoping as my son learned to walk and got bigger it would get better, but it hasn't. We have another little one on the way. This is why I need to rehome him. He's great with other dogs , adults and older kids. Baxter would be good for a retired person/people who is around to spend time with him. He loves being around people. He enjoys playing fetch, is easy to walk. He listens off leash and is great outside with someone playing with him. Im looking to make something happen asap. Other then growling at my youngest, he really hasn't shown any aggression his entire life. He's actually a submissive dog, especially with other dogs.
