Like Looking in a Mirror

Lydia is the adorably cute daughter of a coworker of mine, who we recently found out is exactly 1 week younger than Harper. The more we talked, the more we were amazed at their similarities. Both are adorable (of course!), with blue eyes, sweet round faces, and very little hair. They also have a lot of the same wardrobe including bibs, pajamas and onesies. It's almost as if you could take Harper's baby pictures and replace them with Lydia's, and you wouldn't be able to tell a difference!

I do have to say though that Oliver led me to believe that Lydia, like Harper had very little hair. Apparently this definition takes on a different meaning for different people. Lydia had way more hair! In fact, I maintain that I could get a bow on Lydia, where as Harper is a looooong ways away from any type of hair accessory.

This past Saturday was a bowling fundraiser for Junior Achievement through work and Harper was so excited to be able to meet her new friend Lydia. Well, okay, their parents were more excited than they were but that's besides the point. Because it was a bowling alley, there wasn't much opportunity for them to actually play, so we had to settle for taking their picture on top of a ball rack and laugh at them as they poked and prodded each other, inspecting teeth and noses.

"Hmm, your eyes are blue like mine."

"How many teeth you got in there?"

"Me, I've got two right here and...."
"How many pictures you gonna take, lady?"

This picture here shows two things. 1) how exhausting bowling was for Harper and 2) how badly I need to clean her mirror.

It was great to meet you, Lydia Grace!! We hope to be able to play again soon!
