Let the Spoiling Begin!

Sophia's grandparents are scattered all over California and Texas, so it was pure luck that she got to see all four of them within the same week.
Gramma came to visit for the weekend baring lots of new outfits for her "little tiddlywink." She just couldn't get enough of Sophia's sweet face, so at least once an hour, she would go and peek at Sophia asleep in her crib. Sophia quickly discovered how much Gramma loved to see her face, so she started playing the cutest little games of peekaboo. She has yet to repeat the game with anyone else.
During her visit, Gramma taught Will how to use a chainsaw and they cut down two trees in the backyard. This picture was taken right afterwards.

Nana and Pops came out to visit 3 days later. They were headed to a bible retreat in Santa Cruz and decided to come to California a few days early to visit with us. Will's old ankle injuring was really bothering him, so between his injury and having an infant, we weren't able to do anything too exciting. We still managed to have fun just hanging out. And Nana bought Sophia her first airplane toy.

Pops got to feed Sophia her breakfast of cereal and apples. It's the first time he's fed a baby in at least 30 years, so we're glad we caught it on film!
Here's Sophia spending some time with Nana. Please excuse the wardrobe malfunction!
While Nana and Pops were visiting, we went out to breakfast downtown and decided to drive by some old Victorian homes that Grandpa has been renovating. As we rounded the corner, we just happened to see Grandpa walking down the street! He gave us a tour of the two buildings and went over all the incredible plans they have for the historic homes. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture, but we were all really impressed by the homes themselves and the creative renovation plans.

Since Sophia's grandparents live so far away, it will probably be one out of only a handful of occasions that she gets to see them all at once. It also gave us an opportunity to go on two date nights, which may be few and far between now that I'm back to work.

Those are some really cute pictures. I sure wish we could have been there too. I can't believe how long we are going to have to go between visits.
