Walk and Roll... and Dinseneyland, too

Cairo is as wiggly as always. In fact, Cairo doesn't seem to be happy UNLESS she is wiggly. Recently, she has become very interested in her feet. She tries to lean over to get close to them, then becomes a little unsure of her bent-in-half position, and begins to cry. Cairo continues to flail her hands around and grab onto objects but it is still very awkward. Her spacial awareness with her feet, though, is much better. She hits things right on and with intent. When she is laying in her back I put my hand out and she likes to push them away. Here are a few videos of her walking and attempting to roll over.




To celebrate my mom's birthday on the 6th, Cairo, Erik, my parents, and Heather went to Disneyland for the evening. We all have season passes to the park and we don't use them often enough. It was a wonderful time for Cairo to go to Disneyland for the first time. The weather was perfect- no more of this 105 degree weather- and the park wasn't too crowded. The first thing we did was take the official photo in front of the entrance to Disneyland. Next, we rushed over to Pirates of the Caribbean, my favorite ride and baby friendly, and took Cairo for her first ride ever. She was wide-eyed the entire time and very stimulated. We, then, went to the Tiki Room thinking that Cairo would like the music and bright birds and flowers. Instead, she got fussy. Luckily, it was the prefect place to discreetly nurse her. We got hungry and decided to eat Pot Roast at the Plaza Inn (yummy) and get good seats out in their patio for the AMAZING firework show Disney puts on every night. The whole park pretty much stops to see this show. Cairo fell asleep about 5 minutes before the show and did not move a muscle to the loud bangs and bright, flashing lights that surrounded us (literally- the fireworks surround the entire park!)
