Hannah has been napping for almost 2 hours which hasn't happened in awhile so I thought I'd jump on the computer and see what I could accomplish during the remainder of her nap! Here we go...
August was a jam packed month for us and we had lot's of fun! Needless to say, it flew by! We counted down the days until Carl had a whole week off in which we drove up to Scotch Creek. On the way, we stopped in Kamloops to visit some very important people! Here is Hannah with Great Grandma!
Our week at Scotch Creek was spent relaxing...Somewhat...
...Let's just say that vacation with a baby is well, different! Hannah had a hard time sleeping at night in a new place which meant mommy and daddy didn't sleep much either! Our days revolved around Hannah's eating and napping schedule which surprisingly doesn't leave much time for much else! Is it bad to say that sometimes I miss the baby-less days?
One Sunday we decided to check out the PNE. We weren't sure if Hannah would be interested in the animals or not, but as it turns out, she gets very excited about horses!
In August, Hannah also attended her first wedding!
Just this past weekend we took off to Deception Pass to do some camping with my parents! It was nice being able to sleep in their trailer as opposed to our tent! We really enjoyed our time and weren't ready to come home. I really wish we were able to get more camping in this summer...I'll be more organized next year and make reservations!
During the past month Hannah has pulled herself up to standing in the bath tub (it seems to be the only place she can get a good grip!). She has finally started shaking her head "yes" (we've seen a lot of "no's" recently!), and she started clapping! Something else she's started doing is dancing when she hears music. Almost every night, Hannah and Daddy have a dance party and on occasion it will turn into a family dance party ;)
We were given the little piano below and Hannah will hit the keys and dance along to the music. When the music stops, she will hit the keys again and start bopping some more!
She has continued to poop on the potty which is probably my favorite trick she does ;) I can only hope and pray that it continues!
It's hard to believe but our little girl is just one month away from turning 1!
In adult news, it's also hard to believe that we have been back in BC for a year! It's almost Carl's one year anniversary at work and to celebrate, they are sending him back to school! Today is actually his first day of class. Every Tuesday evening he will be attending BCIT to gain a better understanding of the construction aspect of his job. If this goes well, he may sign up for another class next semester too. It will be good for him but Hannah and I will miss him, as he leaves before we get up and will get home likely after we are in bed!
And now for the dreaded October...As of October 1st, I will be saying bye-bye to Scotiabank and hello to Coast Capital Credit Union! I have recently been asked to take a full time position where my main focus will be investments. The exciting part is that the position is in Brookswood, is about 10minutes from our house and 2minutes from my parents house (Hmmm, maybe I'll do lunch at their house!). The sad, terrible, heart breaking and almost unbearable part is that I have to leave my baby girl. I am having a hard time even thinking about it (so prayer is appreciated). My position is Tuesday to Saturday so Carl will look after Hannah on Saturday, I'll take her Monday and may parents will look after her on Fridays. This means that Tuesday-Thursday she will be in the care of another. We have some options that we are prayerfully considering (and again, appreciate extra prayer).
Needless to say, starting in October I think our lives will be very busy! I envision us with no social lives, haha! I apologize in advance if my blog posts slow down :) As for now, I'm hoping September goes by slowly!
With all that said (or written), my baby girl is now awake and it's time to get dinner started!
