Dress up time!

Hi everyone! Things have been pretty steady here at the Librande household, just getting ready for baby Giovanni! My mom through a baby shower for Giovanni and me over the weekend which was a lot of fun! We played a baby name game where we had to guess the top 2 boy and girls names from several different decades including 1880, 1910,1920,1950 etc. and ending with 2000! Needless to say I didn't do very well...but John was certainly a popular name for most decades! We also played a game called 'daddy knows best'. My mom asked Adam 10 questions, and then I had to guess what answers he gave her. I got 4 out of 10 correct, but I was pretty close on several of them, so Adam and I aren't too out of sync when it comes to parenting! We received alot of great baby clothes, diapers and wipes at the shower, and definitely seem to be set with baby clothes size new born-3 months! I don't have pictures from the shower to share, but my mom does, so I'll try to get some pictures from her.

We had a mini ultrasound yesterday to see how Gio is doing. Everything looks great, except he's lying sideways, so I've been giving him a talking to and trying out some fun upside down off the couch positions to get him to turn the right way! My sister is in the hospital due to low lung function, but should be out by Friday to finish up with home IV's, please keep her in your prayers.

Adam started school today, so please keep him in your prayers as well! It looks like it may be a tough term, plus with our little munchkin man on the way we will all be in need of some extra grace!

Alida has been having fun playing dress up and coloring lately. She has recently gotten really excited about finding the moon and the sun, and loves having mom and dad draw the letter 'A' as well has hearts, starts, and Jesus (a cross).

Here are some pictures of Alida dressing up in some of Adam's clothes.... (hats are WAY too much fun!)



And almost as soon as the shirt was on, it was off again!

Here she is wearing daddy's hat!

'Hat' is one of Alida's new words, not to be confused with 'heart', which sounds an awful lot like hat. She is definitely expanding her vocabulary!

Love, The Librande Family

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day to all of our family members who have served our country and/or are currently serving our country! Thank you for all that you do/have done to help better our country and the people that live here. Adam had to work today, but my parents, sister, and brother-in-law had the day off, so Alida and I were able to enjoy some time with them this afternoon. Alida woke up with a bit of a stomach bug this morning, but seems to be feeling better, which we are so thankful for! We hope that everyone had a great day! This picture was taken in early October. We have a great apple tree in our backyard that grows 2 different kinds of apples! Alida found this apple on the ground and thought that she'd give it a try... She definitely enjoyed that apple, so I'd say it was a good pick! Alida learned how to climb up on our kitchen chairs in mid-October. I thought that pushing the chairs in under the table would be able to prevent her from climbing on them when ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow! I don't know where to begin with all that has been going on this past week, so I'll let the pictures do the talking... We certainly have been enjoying our extra time with Adam during this Christmas break from school and the extra days that he's gotten to have off of work for the holidays! Here Adam and Alida are playing dress up- below is a video of how the process worked... unfortunately the video is sideways, so you may have to turn your head, or the computer screen...enjoy! The Very Hungry Caterpillar is quickly becoming a favorite of Alida's, this girl definitely loves story time! She didn't want to wear her clothes, but Alida had fun wearing her new apron from grandma! This is the new party dress that Alida got from her Great-Aunt Janell and Uncle John. She wore it to our friend's wedding which took place during Mass on the Feast of the Holy Family! And of course, no outfit is complete without movie star sunglasses! Her...
