Jamie is well-known around here for her love of books. She definitely has her favorites—books and magazines she can’t get enough of, topics like Lucy the Bonobo, cowboy boots, mummies, and larger-bodied apes. We can’t forget her fascination with Architectural Digest and Dwell. Jamie is always open to venturing outside her usual genres to try new things, but today, I found her with one of her all-time classics: a National Geographic.
What I find so endearing about Jamie is that when she really likes something in a book or magazine, she will tear it out and put it in her pelvic pocket, you know, for safe keeping. Often, we have to check with her while we are cleaning to make sure we are not throwing away a special page that she was saving for later. Otherwise, she will make you sift through the trash for her beloved saved page later. Most of the time it is easy to spot a page Jamie will want you to save, because it has been folded many times due to being stored in her pelvic pocket. That is usually is a good sign to us that we should take it out and put it in a safe place, until we can return it to her.
As you go through this photo series and video, you will notice pages of the magazine in both pelvic pockets.

Jamie and Cy need to start a magazine club.
Krlsi;, have you guys ever tried laminating her favorite pages?
30 minutes is a record, if I’m not mistaken!
Annie…I can almost hear the bird noises!
I wonder what pages caught Jamie’s eye this time? I love how focused she is on her reading. I also love the not-so-subtle “no photography” reminder at the end. At least it was just a soft toy, this time!
Also, Annie is gorgeous, as always.
I would love to see whats on the pages she saves.
I save photos of her on my computer. Same thing??
Jamie. I have desperately missed seeing photos or a good video of her. Thanks Kelsi, for serving up both!! I love studying Jamie’s face over the years. Her intelligence is right there in her eyes, speaking volumes. Jamie always looks so content when flipping through her reading material, carefully taking in the photographs. What I love the most is the way her entire face sparkles when she looks at you with her subtle smile. Who needs language. A spark in the eye, a flip of the hand, enough said. Message received.
Why do humans believe language makes us superior? (Better yet, why do humans feel the need to be superior?) Jamie communicates intricate, complex ideas and emotions and she does this logically. Words are overrated.
Beautiful Annie. Those two words go hand in hand. Annie knows how to relax and enjoy life. She has come so far!
Thank you Kelsi, this is a woderful video. I love all things Jamie !
her eyes, such concentration on her face, and then,
