England - a breastfeeding tour
We went to England for a long weekend. Baby is a terrific traveler as long as he knows where his noo-noos are.
I breastfed him at Westminster Cathedral, Regent’s Park, London Zoo, and on a canal boat going to Camden Lock.
He nursed on the Tube, while we flew on the London Eye, and for a long time in London Aquarium in front of the skates and rays exhibit.
In between visiting Buckingham...
RIC-EWK
At the airport, Lex runs around blowing kisses at all the ladies and yelling Dadda! at all the men. Our recent talks about airports and airplanes have apparently convinced him we are here to pick up Dadda, and he is looking everywhere.

He loves the beach, goes in the water, has stopped eating sand. Wears his hat and sunglasses. Uses the signs for dadda, light, eat, bath, kitty, milk and bed. Points to his head, eyes, ears,...
