On Wednesdasy and Thursday of this week we visited our friends Rammer and Shira and got to meet their adorable baby boy, James, who was born the beginning of June. It was a nice visit and Annalise was really good with the baby! She just kept saying "Hi-ya baby James" over and over again while helping to gently rock him in his swing. She really didn't show any signs of jealousy when I was holding him although when I was feeding him a bottle she did ask me for a bottle for herself. I reminded her that bottles were for babies and that she is a big girl. That seemed to be enough for her because she didn't mention it again. Anna even carefully laid her beloved doll baby on James while he was in his swing. I do have to say though that the visit showed me that I am not ready for a second baby until Anna is at least 3 years old! I just can't imagine having a newborn with a 20 month old! Annalise occupies soooo much of my time and attention at this age that I have to give major credit and applause to those of you who are obviously so much braver than I! At one point I was giving James a bottle (which I loved doing and I completely fell in love with all his newborn cuteness) and trying to read Annalise a book and keep her occupied. Whew, it was tricky! Anyway, enough of my rambling (which I know I do so well) here are some pictures:
Adorable little James
I just love how much hair he has!
James' brother, Cisco (don't know if I spelled that right)
Honestly one of the best dogs I know!
Anna decided she wanted to put her feet in the pool.
She went on a step that was too low though and got her shorts soaked!
After her shorts were soaked she said she wanted to get in the pool.
I put her suit on her but I questioned how long she would last because she is not really a fan of our pool unless it is at least 88 degrees (which fortunately has been most of the summer)!
I was right, she got out.
She did end up getting back in though for a little while.
The berry lover was in all her glory because they have blueberry and huckleberry bushes at there house! She ate soooooooooo many berries while we were there! Amazingly she didn't even get a belly ache! Here is is eyeing up the blueberry bushes.

Helping to rock James
Here she was sharing her most favorite doll ever (I am pretty sure she has had it since she was born or shortly there after). Anna walked up to James and said "Here James" and put it on him. Notice though she is keeping an eye on it =)
Stitting with "Uncle Hammer" -- as she started calling him
