Trying to be Something that I'm Not

Here I go trying to be something that I'm not... a writer.  As most of you know, I'm good at math, but trying to master the English language is not my thing.  I do however edit materials for teaching elementary students math, which does require some writing skills. So, be forewarned: I may revert to writing to you like you are an 8-yr-old, because that's what I do on a daily basis (well, 3 days per week at the moment).  In an attempt to improve upon my writing skills, but mostly to keep a journal of my life as it speeds by, I've decided to start a blog.  I didn't want to commit to any particular topic, hence the name, but I'm sure most posts will be about Nolan, with an occasional note on cooking, food, working out, or traveling, among other things. I will try to be as clever as my friends are in their blogs, but in the likely case that I'm not, I'll be sure to include plenty of pics of Nolan to keep your attention.

Nolan is my sweet, almost-6-month-old baby girl.  Her half-birthday is tomorrow and she'll celebrate with some pureed green beans! Jealous?  I can't believe it has been 6 months since I had her.  She's changed so much!

10 days old

We were worried about her weight for a little while, but as you can see, she's had no trouble gaining it.  :) She's also gained a huge personality in the past 6 months.  Recently it seems that she has a new trick almost every week.  Last week it was growling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ImpmaCTqA), and this week it's sticking out her tongue.  I can't wait to see what's in store for next week. 
Our lives have definitely changed a ton since we became a family of three.  I have to admit that I do sometimes miss the freedom that I used to have... to be able to do what I want, when I want, and without much effort, but at the risk of sounding cliche, I wouldn't change a thing.  She's brought us so much happiness and a new view of the world. She's a super happy baby and a constant source of entertainment.  I'm not sure what I did to deserve this, but I feel pretty lucky to have her.
