Hey, Baby Baby
James finally got to meet his niece, Evelyn Marie, yesterday. He was having trouble pronouncing her name and called her Abilene and Elf. We never thought James would be able to sit still enough to hold a newborn, but he proved us wrong. James immediately reached out for Evie and said, "Hey, baby baby." He sat still and held her for a long time. James was intrigued by her tiny fingers. He tried to play peek-a-boo with her and read her one of his favorite books, "Green Eggs and Ham". James shocked everyone by supervising a diaper change and throwing away a very dirty diaper! Before the visit was over, James asked for nephews. It was a long drive back for all of us. On the way home, James said, "I'm thinking about Dave Thomas...I'm thinking about Wendy's."
