Grandpa Gilbert's Visit

Sierra got to meet her Grandpa on Father's Day weekend when my Dad came into town from Washington D.C. We were able to spend all day Saturday and had breakfast together for Father's Day at our house before I flew out to Vegas. On Saturday we met up for breakfast at our favorite breakfast place in Redmond and then we came back to our place to hang out for a bit and to decide on the afternoon's activities. All along we had planned on taking her to the zoo but instead decided on Pike Place Market because the Zoo would be too expensive and she wouldn't quite appreciate it yet. Plus, it closed in a couple hours. That would definitely need to be an all day excursion. Sierra had a blast at her first trip to the market. She loves going anywhere in her Baby Bjorn and will just soak everything in. Of course it was packed and I was nervous with all the noise and crowds but she was completely fine and smiling the whole time. She received lots of compliments too! It was a long day for her so she was a little cranky by the time we got to the car plus it was past her feeding time and without a nap for the whole day, she cried for the last 15 minutes of the ride home. It's horrible when they are strapped into the car seat and you can't just scoop them up to console them. She would have been fine had I been able to take her out and burp, change, and hold her. Luckily, we were almost home. Then, Erik made a yummy salmon dinner and Sierra took a long awaited nap!
Here are some pics from the weekend. I think she found a place in her Grandpa's heart!
