"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

A bunch of things...

So, it's kind of busy trying to be a student and a mom. Nathan is taking a nap and instead of doing what I should be doing right now, I'm updating on some pictures and the goings on around here. Of course they are about Nathan...

Nathan's hair gets ratted and messy way easy. This pictures just doesn't do justice what it really looked like.

Nathan with a soapy Mohawk.

I was trying to do a game with him by putting a toy in a bag and the bag in a box, etc. But Nathan was way more interested in the paper bag, obviously.

Corey's mom gave Nathan this light show toy. It plays music, lights up, and there's little animals that move around. He totally loves it and has figured out how to turn it on and off. Either that, or he's just really lucky a lot. On the bottom left picture his thumb is on the button.
P.S. Just as I was finishing this post, I heard Nathan wake up and turn it on...


Some days Nathan just plain doesn't want to eat his cereal...this was one of those days. I was getting tired of him fusing so I just let him play with it. His eyes even look like he's been kind of crying a little and he wouldn't smile for anything...

This is Nathan before we went to the doctor's for his 6 month check up. I'm not sure what was going on in the picture on the left, but it made me laugh!

Once again Nathan woke up with a Mohawk. This pictures was taken in the bathroom which is really dark. I tried to fix the brightness of the picture, but it didn't work very good. It's a good shot of his two teeth though!

Corey was working on some homework at home the other day when Nathan woke up from a nap. Nathan was extremely interested in the "Now Playing" screen on Windows Media Player.

Yesterday I tried again to do a game with Nathan by putting things in a box (socks, tie, scarves). But he liked the box more. I put the scarves over his head trying to see if it would catch his interest a little, but he still liked the box. At least he smiled a little for me this time!

I made baby food!! These are carrots and I was so excited that they turned out so smooth!I tried peas and those are not going to work... It was way too time consuming. I froze the carrots in my ice trays with plans to put them in little containers after. Now my problem...they don't 'pop' out like ice cubes do. Any suggestions?
