E squared: evelyn and everleigh

evelyn's first halloween was fun! we got to spend it with grant and lindsay taylor and their daughter everleigh. everleigh is 6 days older than evelyn. she was actually born on evelyn's due date and lindsay and grant sort of pretty much came up with her name from hearing of evelyn's name. so i think its really neat that they live close and we can do things together and have our babies try and beat each other up. because that is what they attempted to do. don't fret, i have pictures. perhaps i missed the "baby etiquette: how to teach your such-and-such-month-old how to interact with other babies" book when i was purusing the shelves as a bloated-about-to-pop pregnant woman - i'll blame the hormones - but apparently so did lindsay, so we were both in good company. and as we both learned from that night, 7 month olds don't care a flit about proper social etiquette. nope. instead they went after each other like monkeys. evelyn was obsessed with everleigh's hair and she attempted to pull it while we were and weren't looking. while everleigh was lunging, and by lunging i mean crawling full force, toward evelyn whenever lindsay put her down. it was a fun show to watch, for those that were simply spectators. lindsay and i were the referees. evelyn made everleigh cry at one point, but don't worry because everleigh got her back. regardless, i think they are going to be besties for life. we are already having the heart shaped bff's-for-life necklace made up for them to each have a half of. aren't we thoughtful? 

it was very fun though. and it is nice to have a familiar face and friend from college close by that we can get to know better. not to mention another young family to unleash our little maniac on every now and then. ;)

here are some pics:

i know all of these are everleigh attacking evelyn i must not have taken any of the other. ha! but i think they will be able to get past this and by next halloween be holding hands walking up to doors asking for a trick or a treat.
