Happy Halloween From London

London during Halloween day! I'm going out on my first night out tonight so tonight pictures will be later.

London was a Jack In The Box!

Hornets Home Opener!

We got great tickets 18th row! It was a good game and the Hornets WON. :)Salley, Me, London and Ben....the cool ones who wore our Halloween Costumes.

Fellow Yogis

Thursday is our Baby yoga class and today was two of the girls last week since they have to go back to work so we got a group picture:

Bouncing baby boy

London loves to be bounced on the bed...video treat:

Flowers!

Got a very pretty boutique of flowers:

Monday Night footbal

Had our weekly MNF party...

Video treat!

We were watching some football today and London didn't like that he wasn't getting all the attention and he knows a little fussying isn't going to pull mom or dad away from NFL football games so he had to come up with something BIG. So he decided to start babbling. Which he as done for a second here and there but today he did it for several minutes. Long enough we could even get the video out!

New Orleans Krewe of Boo Parade

Tonight was the Krewe of Boo Halloween Parade down in the French Quarter. London was very popular and tons of people walked up and gave him beads.....all he had to do was FLASH them a smile :)

Close enough to kiss

Best part of babywearing is that he is always close enough to kiss, here is my view looking down while wearing him.

Car seat

London is filling up the car seat much better these days:

Anyway here is London's newest diaper....Ben is trying to get him to walk already...men they just don't know baby time.Here is his I'm so sexy backwards look..This was troy's shirts when he was a baby. They say Defense on them.

filter and dust

So we have a major dust issue here. The table will be covered in dust with in minutes of cleaning it. So FINALLY it clicked in our heads to check the filter in the A/C! (can you tell we have lived in hotels for to long LOL).

Before:
After: (yep there was a window behind the before shot also! THATS how bad it was...air wasn't even getting through hardly!)

Hurricane area 4yrs later

Drove down to the Hurricane areas that I saw devastated post Katrina (I was down here for FEMA first response as a nurse). Anyway I was shocked to see houses looked the same since four years ago. some people are actually living in them. there are thousands!

Favorite toy

His favorite toy! We call it George O'Mallard (like George O'malley from grey's anatomy!)

Yogies....

It was yoga class again today (every thur). Anyway since I had so many people ask questions about it I thought I would share more. So as I said before this class is FOR the babies (yogies as we call them in class). We each have little yoga mats to use (as you can see in the picture). We gently sing while "helping" our little ones do yoga. Some things we do is lay them on their backs and put their feet on the ground (and hold them down with one hand) and with the other hand lift up their butts a touch. also we do leg bent leg straigh stretches, self hug, push up positions...etc. The idea is to get "yogies" to relax and have a nice range of motion as well as interact with other little ones. We never pull on their arms and legs...we just lightly encourage certain movements. I ordered a home DVD of one of the classes...when I get that I will take pictures of the moves better for you all....

Wed wash day

Troy decided to give the kitchen sick a try for bath time...

Houston we have hands

Today the lightbulb turned on.... London seemed to put together that his hands are his AND he can use them to hit his toys!

Monday Night Football Party

Well looks like we are going to make this one of our things. So this monday we had another MNF party. Tonight for dinner we did bacon wrapped brats, cheesy potatoes, and popcorn balls.

Mississippi river cruise

Today a small group of use went on the steamboat Natchez in new orleans. Luckily it didn't rain while we were on the boat (because it did most of the day!)...

London and I-
Alex, Danielle, Troy and London-
During the trip we passed and oil refinery (very small one) but Troy walked us through all the parts....yeah I can still only point out the flare! LOL (flare is the little fire tower you can see at times)

Two Navy ships ready and waiting for whenever they are needed-
