Life as we know it

So I have decided to start a blog.  There are a few reasons I have decided to do so but the main reason is for all of the important people in our life who do not get to see Cole grow up and reach all of his milestones.  I also want to be able to look back and have a written recollection of this crazy and amazing time of our life!

I will just catch everyone up on the past few months, Cole will be five months old on September 27th and I can't believe just how fast this time has gone, I have decided that time speeds up ten fold once you have a child and I am already dreading the first birthday, first day of school and in eighteen years the last day! I know I am getting ahead of myself but if the next 18 years go as fast as the past five months have it will be here in the blink of an eye! Anyways Cole learned to roll over 2 days after his four month check up which was August 30th, his pediatrician asked me if was rolling and I said no, knowing that he needed to start even though he had no desire at the time to roll so we started practicing and low and behold 2 days later he just decided to do it (and hasn't stopped since!) He likes to show us he has a mind of his own and will do everything on his own time.  Which is also why he decided to wait until 41 weeks and 1 day to come into this world!  He loves to laugh and finds everything funny especially when I say mama to him, we practice each day because I am determined to have him say mama first, for some reason he also finds the word duck very funny.

As for Jason and I, we have been busy packing, moving, packing and moving two times in the last month! It has been a crazy month with school starting for me and life has been very hectic!  I am back at UND and hope to be done next year, I say next year because I do not know if it will be May, Aug or Dec of 2011 but it will be sometime next year! I really do like school and find it much more fun than working for a living however Jason does not find the idea of me going to school forever appealing. I have no idea why!

Well that should get everyone caught up for now, I will try to keep up with posting at least 3-4 times a week!

**The title of the blog is from a song by Carolyn Dawn Johnson called "Life as we know it" the chorus describes our life perfectly right now which is why I picked it:

"Life as we know, it's going good. That's an understatement it's going better than I ever though it could, never been so happy, so content.  Oh I wish I could freeze this moment, life as we know it, now."
