Anna and James visit Nashville

This week my good friend Anna drove from Cincinnati to visit us. I met her 10 month old, James, for the first time. He is such a precious, sweet little boy. It was wonderful having them here and so nice for me to have another adult to talk to during the day :) Maddie loved James. She treated him like another pet. She kept patting his head and trying to give him hugs. At one point she pinned him on the ground and laid her head on his back. Of course we were always close by to make sure she didn't get as rough as she is with JoJo, but he didn't appear to mind because he never fussed at her. Maddie is around other kids quite often but I've never seen her act like this. Maddie also loved Anna and beamed whenever Anna was around. We miss them already!!!!!

I haven't posted in a while so I'll share some pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Watch out Casper, here she comes.

"I just can't get this place clean!"

Up to no good!

It's meal time.

Now she's really up to no good.

Apparently blue is her favorite color. She picked out only the blue balls to put in her mouth.



Separation time. I think Maddie found me.

"Look James, a meerkat!"


"Maddie, please stop touching my head!"



"Do I really have to share my bath with a boy?"


"I really wish she'd leave me alone!"

Anna managed to put pigtails in Maddie's hair. She's being a little ham in this picture.
I love the pigtails, but have not been able to style her hair since Anna left. She's too quick for me.
