So I didn't mention my dad's visit to Memphis a few weeks ago. I must mention it, as it was such an amazing and special time! It had been a year and a half since I'd seen Dad, so it was great to see him. It was even more special, though, for him to be able to meet Ellie. She is his first grandchild! Even though he was hoping for a boy, I think he is so happy that she is a girl. It seemed like Dad was completely enamored with Ellie. When he would hold her, he just stared at her and smiled. It almost made me cry just watching him with her. I obviously don't remember what Dad was like with me when I was a baby, but I'd like to think it was like this....so sweet! I love my Dad so much, and I miss him. Hopefully we will be able to take a trip out to Cali next summer to visit! Seeing how much he loves Ellie reminds me of how much I love him. I can't wait for her to love her Grandpa too. I know she will!!
After Dad went home to California, it made me think a lot about Nick's relationship with Ellie. The father/daughter bond is such a special bond that no one can replace. Nick loves Ellie so much, and I can already see how much she loves him. She just stares at him and smiles. I wouldn't mind if she grows up to be Daddy's little girl. I love watching them together. Nick is off for the summer, so we are enjoying spending so much time together as a family.
I couldn't help but post this picture...it's so cute! You can see how comfortable she is with her daddy :) She already is Daddy's little girl!
