It's been a while...

Sorry, I have been remiss... life has been in full swing and I just haven't gotten around to updating the blog. Things are going to settle in, so I will be able to get back to updating this once or twice a week. To catch up with the past two weeks... Erik and I worked long and hard to finish the projects around the house and get it all cleaned up before we left for the summer. Work doesn't happen quite as fast as we would like with the baby, but Cairo comes first. We can deal with a little dust, out of place furniture, and half painted things when she's around. On Thursday, we took the long trip nack home. We left at about 8 am and drove into the driveway a little before midnight. The trip wasn't bad, though. We got the chance to stop and visit my Nana and Papa. Cairo was able to meet them on her way north for the summer, but it was only for about half an hour.

This past Friday, Cairo had her first set of shots at the doctor's office. While we were waiting she was all smiles and coos (she loves to talk and sounds like a purring kitten). Little did Cairo know that she was going to get three shots, two of which were very large and painful. She cried, as expected, and was fussy that evening. A little tylenol and a good night's sleep and Cairo was back to normal the next morning. Cairo stats as of the last appointment put her at 10 lb 9 oz with a wet diaper on and she is in the 25th precentile in weight, length, and headsize.

Cairo is still a wiggle-worm. She has been having a great time sucking on any fabric that makes it near her mouth. Like her cousin Mei, she likes to suck on her bib. In the bath last night, she was splashing around and laughing... she was much more active than I have seen her, yet, in the bath. She has also discovered her feet in the last two days or so. She looks at them, but hasn't tried to reach for them yet. One thing for sure, Cairo is a talker just like her mom. She seems to have the best conversations with her dad. She coos and coos and coos... and like I said before, she sounds like a purring kitten).

Cairo and Uncle Danny-


Today, I went back to work for the first time. Cairo spent the day with her dad and met me for lunch. Life is definitely going to be very different for us now... I will miss her lots!

P.S. We have several more pictures to post, but we are currently having technical problems downloading pictures with our camera and have to either get it fixed or get something to read our memory stick...
