Cairo's New Babysitter

This is long......

Yesterday, we had another weight check-up at the doctor's office. Cairo is now 9 lb 15 oz, 1 pound heavier than laat week. It was funny, here she is at 7 weeks and a little 2 week old baby at the doctor's office was bigger than her. According to the growth chart, Cairo is in the 25th percentile for length ang weight. She is a "little bit", which has become her nickname with her dad and I.

Cairo likes to start each day by joining Erik and I in bed and then falling asleep again for a few hours. Every morning I get out od bed and leave a happily sprawled-out and sleep baby behind. I really enjoy this cuddle time in the morning.

After we all got up, Cairo and I spent the morning shopping with Grandma Jill, Aunt Kyoko, and Cousin Mei. For the outting, Cairo put on her newest outfit from Auntie Heather- a pink sleeper with frogs on it and cute forggy feet.







When we got home, Cairo was fast asleep in her carseat (as always) and I decided to take advantage of the nice warm sunshine and play with the dogs in the backyard. So that I could keep an eye on her and keep her out of the way of her dad and Grandpa Lee (who are working on putting new baseboards and moulding throughout the house), I took her out with me. As usual, Sienna had a one trrack mind- "ball, ball, ball! Did someone say ball?" Sienna went on her merry way and chased the ball I was throwing. Guinness however, was too preoccupied by his new baby (yes, that would be Cairo). He kept a good eye on her while I was playing with Sienna (don't worry, Nana, I kept a good eye on him!). He is so funny with her. He is very gentle and the opposite of his pushy self. When she would stir and make a little crying noise he would give her hand a little kiss and then move back or her would nudge her foot. He didn't seem to think that she should be left on her own (though I was 20 feet away). What a good little babysitter!





Sienna- taking a break from playing ball.




When Guinness isn't babysitting, though, he enjoys to sunbath...
