Check out the intense look of concentration:
Friday at last!
Bunky got a new seat!
And it's red, like a fire engine...
Also met up with the Hoffmen this afternoon and took a few photos of their gorgeous little ones Evie and Bea. I haven't edited many yet, but here's one of Evie:
The Nanny Diaries
Day 1 of George's Nanny Chronicles couldn't have gone better. He slept all night without a peep (as was the case last night as well), and behaved like a little angel all day (well, an angel that poops itself at regular intervals, but an angel nonetheless). I managed to get home at 6:10pm and Rachel wasn't far behind at 6:25pm, so we got to do bathtime and bedtime, which was rather nice. Here's a photo of the little munchkin in his blue onesie - I must say, blue sits him. He looks all sophisticated...
Six months old today!
Bunky turned six months old today! He celebrated it by waking up repeatedly during the night (to be fair he did have an excuse - there was a typhoon in Hong Kong last night), but behaved impeccably during our 4 1/2 hour first aid course this afternoon. Tomorrow is his first day with our nanny - although it will be hard for us to leave him, he'll be fine - and we'll make sure that one of us does bath time and feeding time every night. Shouldn't be hard with me working around the corner. Here are a few photos from this afternoon:
I forgot one
Another from this afternoon - a black and white one. Unfortunately his eyes are slightly out of focus, but he's still super cute in his muscle t-shirt...
Muscle T-shirt Saturday
A few of Bunky hanging out in his muscle t-shirt (although you can't actually see it, he's not wearing any pants in these photos...) It was pretty gross outside, and apparently there is a typhoon about to cruise over Hong Kong. A T8 warning might be raised (T8 = get off the roads and everyone go home), which would be awesome if it didn't fall on a Sunday. Bah.
And here's one of the predicted typhoon path (looks like we'll get the worst of it overnight). Hopefully the roads are ok to drive on tomorrow, as we have a first aid course to go to in the afternoon.
Nudey rudey tickle time
A short little video of Bunky being tickled the other day - from his afternoon nudey sessions.
His 4am wakeup this morning was a 3 minute chat to himself - no tears and no attendance by us required. Most pleasing, although I now wake up at 4am waiting for him to wake up. Bah.
Drinks at the Hoffman's tonight, watching the rugby tomorrow afternoon with Mark and Paul (two an Aussie lawyers), and then a CPR / First Aid course on Sunday afternoon. Looks like a full weekend... and then Rachel starts work on Monday. Eeek.

In bed with mummy and daddy this morning
This was taken in extremely low light, hence the film-y grain (ISO was high - around 4000 as I recall). You can just make Rachel out on the right. And a whole lot of drool on Bunky's chin.
Tuesday morning - just after my breakfast of mushy apple and rice
The scar under his eye is a gentle reminder for mummy and daddy to clip his fingernails more often. That said, better that he scratches himself rather than, say... the cats. I fear that they - well, Ben - would show no mercy on poor little Bunky.
Oops - forgot about this one (from afternoon play on the mat)
Bye Aunty Jane!
Aunty Jane has just left us for New Zealand on tonight's Cathay Flight. George had a wonderful time reacquainting himself with her, and even took a few moments out of his busy schedule to have a pee on her today. Little Poppycat seemed to enjoy Jane's company too.
Mushy pears with rice - the breakfast of champions
One from before the pear and rice mush festival:
...and then a few from after the festival of mush:
And finally - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY KATY! (Who may or may not see this, depending on internet access in Greece...)
A few extra random shots from the other morning
Daddy took the day off...
...and took a few photos of George and his Aunty Jane:
...and a few of his friend's coffee shop for some marketing:
Back to work tomorrow. Bah.
"Oh Aunty Jane, you're the funniest!"
George finds Aunty Jane's peek-a-boo skills quite outstanding:
Playtime photos (taken on Saturday)
As I type this, George is getting reacquainted with his Aunty Jane (who arrived late last night). No photos from this morning, but here are a few from yesterday:
The weekend has begun
It's miserable outside (so much for telling Jane to bring summer clothes), and we're off to get the car registration done in Tin Hau, and will probably get a teeny amount of shopping done on the way back. Bunky woke at around 5ish this morning (evil little critter...) but after a quick feed he conked himself out again until around 7.15am when I went to wake him up. He's now back asleep and was in a lovely mood this morning. He spent much of it in bed with his mummy and daddy, alternating between playing with his BlaBla doll and playing with his toes. A few photos of him below - I had to open the blinds a bit to let some light in, but it was pretty harsh and flat light, meaning that the photos turned out a little glarey (is glarey a word?):
Wide Angle G E O R G E
I'm taking some photos of a friend's coffee shop this weekend, and I borrowed a wide angle lens from my neighbour at work. It's rather cool - I'll get a slightly cheaper one someday (his one is a professional grade one - overkill for me), but it's fun to play with. Took a few photos of George with it tonight during nudey rudey time. Here's one of them:
Aunty Jane arrives tomorrow night. My dastardly plan for "Operation Sunday with Aunty Jane" has already failed miserably - George took his weekly constitutional a few days early, and his mummy informs me that he unleashed his weapon of mass destruction this afternoon in his cot. I understand that a fairly decent amount of laundry was required shortly afterwards. Oh well - she's here for a week, so with a bit of luck the WMD will blow again before she flies out...
