My Life as a Mama with CF

Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't get this post up on Monday, we had a little bit of a delay getting pictures up! We hope that everyone is doing well! Here's a little bit of what's been going on in the Oregon Librande household.... Alida had her first taste of peas! She didn't seem too pleased at first and spit most of them out, but for a first new food type experience, I would say that it went pretty well! :) We have since moved on to carrots which she seems to like MUCH better. (We put one of Adam's T-Shirts on her because it tends to be a VERY messy mealtime) When we came home one day, Grandma Hodsdon surprised us with a new high chair! Yay! Alida seems to enjoy sitting at the table with everyone :) If you didn't know, Alida LOVES books! Every time we pick one up to read to her she starts smiling and kicking her little feet and talking up a storm! Here's some pictures of Adam and Alida playing and enjoying some reading time... (On another ...

So far October has been an enjoyable fall month with some new "firsts" for the family. Alida had her first introduction to solid food! Yummy rice cereal! I'm not sure how much she actually swallowed, but here's a picture so that you all can get the general idea... We also went to the pumpkin patch!Unfortunately the patch that we went to (which we went to last year) was going to charge us to pick the pumpkins plus for the weight of each pumpkin (which they didn't do last year)! So we didn't actually make it into  the pumpkin patch, but instead stopped by a local fruit stand and got pumpkins from there (for 4 cents less per pound, mind you). Here's a picture just before leaving for the patch... Another first for the family is that it was cousin Patrick's 1st birthday! Yay Patrick! We wish we could have joined you, buddy! And here are some more pictures from this last week :) Our little wiggle worm! We love you all and...

Now for the long awaited pictures that I promised long ago.... Alida saying "Hi!" to the camera! (at least that's what it sounded like...) She still hasn't quite figured out how to use the bouncer, but she does enjoy looking at the toys :) As you can see, Dada has a way of putting Alida to sleep...zzzzzz Adam and Alida having a very serious conversation! Our happy little girl! :) I'm really going to work on posting at least once a week, so check back next Monday around this time! We love you all and miss you! Love, The Librande Family
