New Experiences in Cuisine

Cairo decided that she wanted to try some rice cereal yesterday. It was a fun experience for all and she actually managed to swallow most of it. The rest of it went on her face.




Cairo found out that you can make even better bubbles with cereal than with milk.

Cairo Sleeping

Cairo likes her naps. She especially likes to sleep on people but if she is really tired she can fall asleep anywhere. She fell asleep in her swing while we were making dinner.



Here Cairo and I are taking a snooze together Saturday afternoon.

Pictures by Mom

Here are some pictures that I took of Cairo and Erik (and me, too) over the past few days.

New Talents- rolling every chance she gets

Growing Big and Strong

A busy Sunday

This past Sunday while Erik was surfing, Cairo, my mom, dad, and I went to Disneyland for a fun day out. Last time we were there, Cairo went on the Pirates of the Caribbean, her first ride ever. This time she went on Pirates, followed by The Jungle Cruise, and It's a Small World. Cairo didn't enjoy all the rides as much as I was hoping. It's a Small World was a little too loud and Pirates ended up being a little too long for a hungry baby.

While we were at Disneyland, Grandma Biggle bought Cairo her first set of Minnie Ears and Grandpa Biggle insisted that she take her picture with Mickey. Cairo wore her ears all day. Here are a few pictures:



Cairo also chose this day to begin rolling over. At first she kept getting her arm stuck under her, but by Monday, she was a pro. She just doesn't understand the cause and effect relationship, though. Most of the time she doesn't like to be on her belly; but, she just keeps in rolling. She gets to her stomach, cries, we flip her over to her back, she rolls again, cries.... and it keeps going on. If she doesn't cry, she spends a great deal of time and effort making out with the floor. She loves to put her tongue on everything.

Stylin' Cairo

Lately, Cairo has been experimenting with her style. She switches between cute and preppy (divaish) to business in the front and party in the back (aka Mullet) to Rockstar. With time, I am sure that she will find the style that fits her. Of all her styles, though, I think that she enjoys the Rockstar look the most.

Cute and Preppy

Our little Rockstar!



P.S. Cairo amazingly slept almost 12 hours last night! Crazy!

Jabber Jaws

Well, I am hoping that I can just update this blog once a week... things seem to have gotten too busy!

Cairo is growing, growing, growing. Not only is she growing physically, but her vocabulary is also growing. This past week we have heard a whole new variety of sounds. I can confidently say that Cairo's first word was "mama", but it wasn't actually her first intentional word so it doesn't really count. My cousin was holding her when she became fussy. As Cairo was being handed back to me, in her babble she included a very clean "mama." If only she knew what she said. We have also heard lots of fun squeals, purring coos, and loud ahs, ohs, and a-goos.

Cairo has also started to grab onto her bottles. If I let go of the bottle, she will hold it up for a few seconds before it drops. She tanks up on milk and formula in the evenings, has a bath, and is in bed around 8:30. She sleeps until about 6:30 in the morning! Ten hours of sleep! That was my dream 2 months ago. What a good baby.



This past weekend, Erik, Cairo, and I made our way up to the Bay Area for my best friend Katie's engagement party. Cairo, as always, traveled well. She got her first taste of the surfing life in Santa Cruz. We spent some time watching the surfers at the Hook and Steamer's Lane. After a quick stopover in Santa Cruz, we headed north to Montara to party.

A weekend away...

Four Generations-


This past weekend Erik, Cairo, and I joined my parents and grandparents in June Lake for a weekend of fishing and outdoors. Cairo has many firsts this weekend. She went fishing for the first time....


Took a nap in the middle of the woods...


Saw a bear and ducks for the first time...


And drove for the first time (boy did she love that!)-






After her drive, though, she was pretty tired. Next, we have a family portrait...


Here is her Papa holding her when she remembered that she was STARVING. It is amazing how fast she can turn from smiley, happy baby to pissed off baby!
