We have a walker!

Finally.
Just after her half birthday, Alaina decided it was about time to lean to walk.  Prior, she would take a few steps without support, but not without someone right there.
Well, now she is cruising around the house.  It is actually kind of interesting seeing what she wants..her mobility has certainly increased her independence.  Favorites include books, balls and dolls.  Watch out world, here she comes!!

Remodel Revealed

Well, we are 98% done with the remodel.    It was certainly chaotic and stressful, but we are so happy with the results.  I can hardly even remember how it used to be!   

Here it is:
