Big Girl Room Finished!

Alannah's big girl room is finally done!  When we first moved in our new house...I didn't spend too much time decorating her room.  We wanted to paint before I did anything major.  Of course that took much longer than expected.  Some time before Christmas, I started looking on Pinterest for some ideas.  Then in November, I found some bedding at Macy's that I really liked...but it was very expensive.  Right before Christmas it went on sale, so I bought it for a really good price.  After the holidays we painted the walls and bought a new bedroom set.  A few weeks ago, a friend from college came over and painted a mural on the wall.  The room is finally done and I love it!  I love that it is still girly, but not ALL pink. Oh...Alannah loves it too! Now if only we could get her to sleep in there all night...every night.

Gymnastics: One Year Later

Alannah has been doing gymnastics for a year now.  Josh jokes that we found her calling early.  ha! She is so good at it though.  I started her in it just as a way to get her involved in something and keep her active.  She loves it and really has a talent for it.  She's moved up levels a few times now.  She's now working with the big girls and goes twice a week.

Here she is on her first day of gymnastics a little over a year ago:

And here's my big gymnast now:

When she first started she could only do a somersault.  Now she's doing the splits, one-handed cartwheels, hand stands, and all kinds of other stuff.  What a difference a year makes!
