Meeting the Grandparentals! (Round One)

So my parents came to visit and meet Ellen for the first time last week. My dad arrived on Friday, but my mom had to wait until Saturday to meet Ellie!

We had a relaxing time, we didn't schedule or actually do too many things. Nick was able to get Monday off of work, which was nice. It was too bad that the weather didn't cooperate so we couldn't get out on walks more. Ellen did really well, but it was obvious that by the end of the day she was worn out wiht the new faces and being held and just needed a break. I have a feeling we may have a very shy little girl on our hands with major stranger anxiety. We were able to extend some of the photo sessions by giving her her pacifier.
My mom brought some more of my old clothes and even brought a dress she wore when she was a baby. So of course we put Ellie in the dress for some photos with my mom. My mom was so excited about all the modern baby gear. And thinks the Boppy pillow is the best invention!
I think my dad took about a thousand photos. It was really nice to have another photographer around so that Nick and I could get pictures with Ellie without balancing the camera on something and using the self timer. He got some great photos of Ellie's funny faces.
