Happy Chinese New Year as they say! George narrowly avoided being an Ox and was born in the last week of the Year of the Rat. I wouldn't have a clue what characteristics a Rat is supposed to exhibit, but I'm imagining "hairy" is one of them. The little tyke's hair is as bushy as it was on Day 1 and I'm quite enjoying trying to part it when it's wet... We had a pretty lazy day, although George has his first official house visitor today - Alice came over for a bit to say hi and to gift George several awesome and cute presents (including a little Lion from South Africa, now christened "Harrice" (Harry + Alice). It's gorgeous and Daddy is considering stealing it. Harry and Alice also gave George some lovely bibs and accessories and some cute little foot and hand animals so that he can locate his feet (you have to see it to understand what I'm talking about - but they are seriously cool).
We're heading upstairs for dinner tonight at Cam and Carolin's - technically George's first dinner outing. Babysteps, babysteps - it's in the same apartment building as us. If George pops a valve we're close to home!
Naturally, a few photos of the little fella to finish up - both with his Mummy:
