grandparent visit

My parents came to visit last weekend, they got some good bonding time in. It was fun to see them, they haven't seen Stella in person since she was just a week or two old. She obliged them with some new milestones - putting both her hands together and putting her foot in her mouth. She has been sucking on her hands a lot lately, it's kind of funny because she starts to gag if she gets her fingers in there too far but doesn't quite know what to do about it. In the past two weeks or so she has started curling her legs and feet up in to the air, to the point where she can now grab one foot in each hand. Looks like a little monkey.
Here's Grandpa Mike and Grandma Jenny trying to figure out her stroller - Stella got to go on lots of walks while they were here:

And here's the sweet little ladybug dress that Grandma Jenny bought her. (Overheard Grandpa Mike: "Are we going to have to start a new Quicken category for this kind of thing?")

We hit the farmers market and gorged ourselves on strawberries. Becca and Chris came over for dinner and we got to try out our new round dining room table (an estate sale find).
Jenny got in the tub with Stella for her bath, baby was so overtired but she enjoyed it until I messed it up. Here's a memo in case anyone wants to learn this one the easy way: Never, never, never pour water on a severely overtired and cranky baby's face. They REALLY don't like that.
