Cairo and Danny

Cairo loves her Uncle Danny... or should I say "Nanny." As the days go by the N on the Nanny is slowly being replaced by a D sound. Uncle Danny is great! They play computers together and they play dolls together and he's always ready for a big hug. Cairo can go weeks without seeing him and she still lights up when he comes around. For some strange reason he is one of her favorite people.

First Haircut

Here are some pictures of Cairo's first "big girl" haircut. Her hair was getting a little stringy and mullet-ish in the back so we decided to cut it and let it grow in properly. She does look a little bit more like a boy now so we might have to compensate for a while by dressing her more girly. Cairo got to wear the special strawberry shortcake apron thingy and she was a very good girl while Dominique cut her hair. She seemed to be enjoying it.

 

 

 

Fairy Cairo

Cairo was a pretty fairy for Halloween. Kim couldn't find a tutu that was poofy enough so she made one and it turned out really well. Cairo was a really good girl and she didn't try to take off any of her costume. Here are some pictures of Cairo looking the girliest that she has probably ever looked.

Random Pictures

Here are a few random pictures.

Cairo loves to draw on her Aqua Doodle. The "pen" has water in it that causes the canvas to get wet and show the blue backing behind it. This helps keeps Cairo busy while Erik is watching both her and Xander during the day.

Cairo wants to be a plummer for Halloween... so, she is practicing.
This is what Cairo, Xander, and Erik look like at the end of the day.

Xander taking his nap on his favorite spot- a person (though his Mommy and his Grammy are his absolute favorites)
Once again, Cairo saying "cheese" while feeding herself some yogurt... she's just sooo camera shy...

Cairo's Baptism

Cairo and Xander got baptized on the same day, September 14th. That way we only had to have one party. As you can see, Cairo was very demure, calm, and serene... taking in the reverence of the moment. (see all baptism pictures below)

 

Cairo wore her Grandma Diane's first communion dress.

Wondering why she is getting water poured on her head.

 

 

Close-Up

 

Isn't Cairo getting all grown up (disregard the dried drool on the side of her mouth)? Here is a close up of what she is looking like these days.
