August will bring the Olympics, my birthday, and Matt's triumphant end to working out of town! It also brings me one month closer to going back to work. Boo.
What have we been up to?
We went to a blogger meet up at Leigh's house. It was nice to meet some new people! I'll admit that I definitely wasn't at my best that evening since Zoey screamed, and I mean screamed, the entire way there and home again. She's been having a few digestive issues and she was feeling the effects of a full belly. I was pretty distracted and had to leave early. It was still nice to be there and thanks again Leigh for hosting us!
I started going to a baby bootcamp in the park, and it's made me realize how little I've done in terms of strength training. I am definitely feeling sore but in a good way!
We've begun the search for childcare. Another flight attendant and I are sharing a nanny so we've been conducting interviews. It's a little strange to be on the other side of the interview table for a change!
Zoey ate some grass and choked in the car. I actually had to pull over and run around, get her out and thankfully she threw up just as I got her out of the car seat. My heart was racing like crazy but luckily my first aid training kicked in! Yikes!
I went to a back carry class at Babes in Arms to learn how to wear Zoey on my back. I'm a huge fan of carrying Zoey in our Ergo but so far I've only worn her on my front and occasionally on my hip. I learned how to get her in the ergo on my back and also bought a long woven wrap to explore all sorts of carries with that too. The Ergo I have isn't the best fit for my body type and back carries, and though it will work, I might get a little sore after wearing her for a long period of time. The woven wrap is way more customizable for different body shapes so hopefully I'll have some luck with that. It's super confusing right now to learn but with practice I'm sure I'll figure it out.
We are so happy that the heat has subsided a little bit! I can't even explain how much I hate the heat!!!!
This weekend is the Calgary Folk Music Festival, and I THINK I'll be going on Sunday. Matt is volunteering Friday-through Sunday evenings and so we're hoping to make a day of it as a family. I don't actually have a ticket and it's sold out, but we're looking on kijiji and I think we've found one. We shall see!
Zoey is a moving machine! She is crawling, kneeling, pulling herself up to kneeling and sometimes a little higher, and getting into everything she shouldn't. She loves eating flipflops (gross!), sucking on iPhone chargers and sleeping on her stomach. This week has brought a lot of changes for her. Matt will hardly recognize her!
Do you all have fun August plans?

Scary choking situation! I would have totally freaked out. Good work staying calm!
So glad that you were able to make it to the blogger meet up! :) Zoey is getting so big!
How does it work if you share a nanny? Will they have the two kids at the same time or you guys alternate days?
She looks like a kid instead of a baby in that sleeping picture...ACK!!
Leigh we are hoping to have a little bit of both. Some alternating days and some with both kids. We will see how it works out!
It was so nice to meet you! Zoey is so cute
Finding daycare is so much fun! Although my 'hours' are not an issue - summers, march break and Xmas break have become an issue. Paul didn't know until last night that you are expected to pay to secure your spot over the summer break and was all 'waaaahhhaat?".
I think we found one though!
We are going camping next week and to California soon - hoping Max behaves :-)
It was great to see you at the meet up! Zoey is such a cutie and so much fun to be around! I hate those car screaming moments! Do you stop? Do you continue? It's awful!
Choking scares me so much! I really need to learn first aid!
Not looking forward to going back to work-mostly because it will be so much more work to have to take care of a child as well. The thought of being away from her every day doesn't appeal to me either.
Nanny sharing sounds like a great idea!
I bet Audrey would like being worn on my back! I have heard great things about those woven wraps!
