Snotty, but happy

Little fella is a bit happier, but is still a bit clogged up. He woke up fairly early this morning (around 6:30am), quite possibly thanks to the downstream effects of last night's lentil dinner (it happens to the best of us). Not really much else to add, other than he seems to be fixated with the cabinet that houses the very expensive glassware. A love for shiny expensive things? He is his mother's child, I guess...

Prowling the lounge for expensive things to eat

Toast. There is toast on your lip, little man... oh, never mind.

Hugging his favourite bath toy - an empty shampoo bottle.

A little better

The little tyrant is getting better - still a bit raspy and has a pretty rotten cough, but he seems a lot happier this morning, and has a bit of an appetite again (although I'm sure his cheeks and thighs would have provided fat reserves for several weeks if needed).  He's got an afternoon date with one of his UK girlfriends (Keira) up at The Peak this afternoon, which his mummy is very much looking forward to. Anyway, a few photos:

Posing for me this morning.  Clearly feeling a little bit better.

Sick Bunky is still sick

Poor little mite is still a bit sick - he has bronchiolitis, so has a bit of a cough and a snotty nose.  Despite being a bit restless and losing his appetite, he's actually in pretty good spirits. He's on some pretty mild medicine, and his doctor says that it's a 7 to 10 day thing. Hopefully he'll be right by the weekend. Rachel took yesterday off to take him to the doctor and to keep an eye on him, and I came home at lunch to give May a break from taking care of sick little child. As I said, he's actually in a pretty good mood, but isn't quite himself - he gets very restless sitting in the same place for more than a minute or two, and isn't really interested in crawling anywhere.

Oh yeah - did I mention he's commando crawling?  He just drags himself around, but I think it passes as a crude form of crawling...

No new photos, as he's not at his best - but here's one from a few days ago. He was watching a YouTube clip - it was a short video from a political news site. He's so clever.

Weekend photos

We jumped on the Star Ferry with the Binningtons yesterday, and although Bunky was feeling a little under the weather (and still is), we had a great time and he even managed a 90 minute snooze while we lunched at Mark and Emma's. Last night was Diwali night, and our building had its usual Indian buffet and drinks downstairs - delicious.  Not a late night, but oooomph I was full by the time we left. Today has been a quiet one, as Bunky is still pretty clogged up and grumpy.  Hopefully he'll be over it in a few days.

Anyway, a few photos from the weekend so far:

.

The boys spending the afternoon in the stereo cabinet (it provides valuable warmth to their butts). The little NEC modem is what beams low quality, overly censored, five year old substandard television programmes chock full of ridiculous advertisements straight to our television.  Ah, technology.

This morning, just before I woke him from his post-breakfast nap

Enjoying his delicious nectarine

He's either concentrating on complicated maths problems, or filling his nappy. You guess which.

Hamming it up for the camera

Showing perhaps a little too much interest in Ben...

A message for Aunty Momo

It's a bit blurry, but... .

And if you think it was easy getting him to hold the (apparently delicious) sign like that, you're deluded:

Toast: delicious

The Squishface Video

The quality is a bit rubbish, but you can clearly see the food-induced Squishface here (download link for mummy and Aunty Momo):

Check out how wide that trap opens when food comes into its gravitational field...

The new squishface (and other photos)

George has a new face - the squishface. Usually pulled out when anticipating something awesome (read: "food"), but sometimes pulled out when he's excited about nothing in particular: .

And a few other random photos from today:

Trying out his new car seat and not very happy about it. Seriously, what a little drama queen.

On mummy's shoulders

I couldn't resist. Hong Kong parking at its finest in the IFC2 carpark this morning. If you think this is bad parking, you should see some of the driving...
