Sitting up, falling down, yelling

Kiddo is now sitting up by himself (although his little abs aren't quite strong enough to stabilise him for very long), and as long as he doesn't sway left, right, or backwards... he's quite happy sitting and playing by himself.  Swaying any way but forward will usually lead to him flopping onto his side or back - although he doesn't feel that bothered by it  :) He also seems to have discovered his voice and now yells randomly at things (e.g. his toys, one of us, the ground), which is quite funny really.  He's impressively loud for a little person.

Anyway - a few photos.  One of him about to head to bed (and giving Daddy the "Where is she taking me?" look) and one of him in the bath tonight:

Lineouts

For NZ$200,000+ per player per year you'd think that we might be able to scrape together a bunch of guys who could catch their own lineout throw (or at least throw the damned thing straight).  It would seem not. Hopefully the second half is better than the first half...

George gets into the nudey time this afternoon (look closely and you'll see Ben cruising around in the background): DSC_5032

Here's one of George hunting a pukeko (he's doing it naked - it's how they did it in the old days):

And for no other reason than I'm learning to use the camera on full manual mode (and I quite liked the light... and I'm trying to move away from posting nothing but photos of Bunky...), here's a completely irrelevant photo of a cup on our dining room table:

It's a lovely little Villeroy & Boch espresso cup (I got Rachel two of them for her birthday a few years ago).  I'd quite like to get the larger sizes for my morning coffee, but can't bear the thought of shopping in Causeway Bay in the summer heat...
