Grandma and Grandpa Riordon come to visit

My parents arrived yesterday morning for a week's visit. It was wonderful to see them at the airport and they have promptly fallen in love with their first grandchild. Sophie has suitably returned the affection and displayed it by creating lots of nappies for them to change, spitting up on their clothes and falling asleep when they are busy trying to entertain her. She has, however, delivered the most beautiful smiles in the world (and to anyone who claims that 'they are just gas' I challenge you to come and see for yourself!) so that her Grandma and Grandpa will forgive just about anything.
We went out to a pub for lunch today in Guildford. It was nice to be eating out and Sophie was fast asleep for our entire time in the pub which was fantastic, but after ordering and paying for our food one of the people who work at the pub came over and said that we were not supposed to have a baby on the premesis! He let us stay as we had already ordered but I felt so out of place after that. I wonder if there will be a lot of places where we won't be welcome?!

Anyway, here are some new pictures of Sophie and her grandparents... Enjoy.

Ellen....you look young enough to be Sohie's mother. Dan.....you look just too laid back and comfortable in your grandfatherly pose.
