Today begins a new year, in many ways. 5 yrs, 3 months, and 16 days ago my life changed when my babygirl came into this world (August 15th, 2005). I was young and niave, and had no idea what I was getting into. I knew my world had changed, and I knew that I loved the feeling of being a mommy...but I had no idea the amount of unconditional love, and joy, and happiness... (with a little bit of anxiety-LOL)...&amp;nbsp;I would experience! Alanah has become.. or was born... a &quot;rockstar&quot;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;﻿﻿&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

She plans on &quot;going on a big plane to American Idol, and winning&quot; when she gets a little older, she says we&#39;re all going with her so we can hold up signs that say &#39;WE &amp;lt;3 ALANAH&#39; from the audience! She just got her first&amp;nbsp;guitar-which reminds me, today she said that she can actually start&amp;nbsp;playing now because she found her &quot;toothPICK&quot; HAHA.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So our life has pretty much been ALL PINK.. and then, Mama kissed a frog..and now we have Jake :)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (Sept 5, 2010): &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He knows when Alanah walks in the room!! Alanah says &quot;he&#39;s even cute when he cries!!&quot; They melt my heart! I would have never imagine this is where I would be in life right now, but I absolutely could not imagine being anywhere else!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I swear, he&#39;s still recooperating.. and Alanah has been playing so hard she&#39;s been sleeping in for an extra hour, with the same bed time!!
