GaGa's Visit

GaGa came to visit us for a week at the beginning of the month. We had such a great time, and I really enjoyed the help that she provided. The week went by so fast, but was definitely action packed! We went to the Junior Museum, Destin, the park, and had a lot of girly lunches without Ryder. I so enjoy spending quality time with my mom! We also decorated my house for Christmas. My mom is a very talented decorator so I had to take advantage of that while she was here. Last year Ryder just sat and watched us decorate for Christmas. This year was a totally different story! He had to help and was into everything. I'm sure that this made the decorating take a little longer, but we were laughing too hard at his "help" to even care. My mom is definitely the best mom and GaGa in history! (Promise to post Christmas decoration pics soon!)

For those of you who don't know, my mom is Ryder's FAVORITE person. He was so excited to see her at the airport...ran right over to her and put his little head on her shoulder. Precious! He kind of forgot that Nate and I even existed while she was here. He woke up calling his GaGa and went to sleep calling his GaGa. He only let her feed him, dress him, change him, pick him up, put him down for nap...you get my picture. Like I said, I loved having her here to help! In the past Ryder hasn't really understood that when mom leaves she is gone for good. He was so young that it really didn't matter. However, he figured it out this time. He had a TOTAL meltdown at the airport when she left. It was truly pitiful! I was crying and Ryder was, too. Thank God that Nate took the day off to deal with both of us! We get to see GaGa AND Mac and TuTu next week and we cannot wait! Alabama and Charlotte...HERE WE COME!
