play date with evie.

July 29th 2011

while in utah last week eleanor had a little play date at the kiddie pool with the adorable 8-month old evie. of course our luggage was still lost somewhere between phoenix and salt lake city when we got together, but evie let eleanor borrow one of her fashionable bathing suits so we could still splash around…
here are a couple of photos from their play date that make me laugh out loud every time i see them:

anyway, we had a lot of fun with evie (and of course her mama, nicole.) it’s fun to think about these girlies growing up together. maybe if we promise to work on that ear grabbing thing (what is up with that? what am i raising?), they’ll end up best friends? ;)

  2. these photos are adorable! i bet they'll end up best friends , they look so cute together! :) & oh my god her ear grabbing habit is so funny! looks like you had an amazing day! xo

  4. oh goodness. my husband and i could not stop laughing! so precious :)

  5. I love Eleanor's sparkly headband. Cute!

  6. Joy

    Buahaha! How stinkin' funny!?!? Oh, man…I need a baby of my own. lol

  7. Emily

    I love her personality! You can spot it from a mile away (that's my guess…). She makes some of the funniest faces.

  8. she is heartbreakingly cute. love little babes in their swimsuits!

  10. Karen

    Definitely had me laughing out loud as well!! Super cute :)

  11. MellyB

    You're raising a fighter. The good kind. She was just doing the ear grab because Evie totally just blocked her from the puffs. Super blocked. Check out that face.

    I love babies.

  12. Gaby

    Oh my, the ear grabbing is too funny! And those are some very fashionable swimsuits! They look better than I do at the pool :)

  13. so cute!! i love the little bathing suits and her headband xxo

  14. Kelsey

    e is so precious! she always has the biggest smile on her face!! plus she's so funny with that ear grabbing, i was laughing out loud!

  15. janel

    How cute are these two! I also laughed out loud. Thanks for making me smile:)

  16. Ashley

    Oooh my goodness they are darling! what little cuties, i love E's in the first picture she is precious!!

  17. Cass

    Soooooo adorable!

  18. E is adorable both girls actually ;) the little ear grabbing is cute ;)

  20. mali

    Yep, definitely made me laugh out loud! Mostly, besides Eleanor having so much spunk and personality, she is like the girl version of my son. I think they are only a couple weeks apart. So similar in the hamming it up department! He does the ear thing to everyone. With me though it's double funny because I'm deaf and he has ripped my hearing aid out three times and counting (I'm sure), ha! Funny babes.

  21. eleanor's facial expressions are unreal. they're making me laugh out loud as well (along with the grabbing thing…and evie's reaction to said grabbing thing…).

    i think the 2nd photo is my favorite. she looks so relaxed. either that, or she was falling over…same thing, right?

  23. Olivas

    Oooooh! They are adorables!!! And E. is very amusing!!!

  25. colleen

    hahaha too funny. the last picture of them is very cute.

  26. What a couple of cutie pies! :-)

  27. Sher

  32. Taylor

    Precious, stylish babies! The last picture is just too cute for words!

  33. HDancee

    they are so lovely!

  35. Meg

    that last pictures is SO adorable! i could see one of them putting that up on a big screen during a maid of honor speech for the other :)
    and i'm sure the ear-pulling is just a sign of affection!

  37. Kristin

    HAHAHAHAHAH I was going to say the first picture was my favorite, but then I scrolled down and saw the pictures where they look like they are wrestling…

    Where did she (and you as well) get those baby suits? So cute! I need a new one for my little girlie.

  75. niki

    now this is just too ironic.

    my name is nicole(go by niki) and my daughter's name is evelyn(we call her evie).

    crazy.

    such adorable girls.

    honestly, (besides my own daughter-you know how we mothers can be) eleanor is the cutest girl i have ever seen.

  76. My word! That is just too much adorable in one photo {the first one in particular}. I don't know how you handle it.

  77. Oh these made me laugh out loud too. Thank you for this little pick me up. My daughter was born a month after Eleanor and I always get excited to look at your pictures and see what else is coming and what fun I have to look forward to!

  78. Libby

    the red and the pink bathing suit are adorable!! I'd even wear them myself!

  81. The ear pulling made me laugh! I have eight month old boy girl twins and my daughter loves pulling her brother's ears. She's fascinated by them!

  82. No way!? I have a daughter Evie (short for Evangeline) who is a 1 1/2– we're in Utah and I've NEVER heard that name. Crazy! Crazy-cool.
