What a great month it has been. My Mom arrived from Mississippi on Thursday, October 17th for Vivian's baptism that following Sunday.
She had planned to stay until the first week of November when Brian returned from Hilton Head, SC from his conference. I needed help with little bit when I had to work. Plus, she hasn't seen her since we went to Mississippi when she was 7 weeks old. I was so glad that she was here for her first Halloween.
Her first pumpkin patch.
My birthday.
After Brian came back, Mom and I were taking Vivian on a stroll and I asked if she was going back on that Monday (Nov 4th) and she kind of held her breathe and asked if it was okay if she could stay a little longer. Of course! She retired from teaching this year so she's home alone during the day until my Dad arrives home at night from work. Vivian loves having her Memom!
We mainly stayed at the house the majority of her stay...which was great. We did go on a couple of outings...Target, grocery shopping, mall and Airlie Gardens.
She was here for Vivian's first "real" bath. Meaning not in her little hammock.
Before Mom arrived, Vivian would lift her head for only a second during tummy time.
Child still hates it, but with Mom's help, she is much better. She will hold her head up and even reach out for a toy.
They spent a lot of time playing together.
They even had lots of cuddle time.
Not only did she help take care of Vivian, she did the grocery shopping, laundry and cooked. I honestly felt like I was back living at home. It was nice being taken of. Sometimes you need that.
I'm sad that she had to leave, but I know my Dad will be happy to have her home. The other day he said if he went into cardiac arrest it as our fault because he had to eat a lot of can food. Poor fella!
We have very much enjoyed your stay, Momma!!! Already looking forward to you guys coming for Christmas. Only six more weeks!!! We love you oh so much!
