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: DSC_1231.

And a few other random photos from today:

DSC_1268Trying out his new car seat and not very happy about it. Seriously, what a little drama queen.

IMG_0801I 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...

Swinnnnnnnnnnnnnng

There's a little playground just down the road from us in another apartment building complex.  It's outdoor, and no one seems to mind that kids from all over the neighbourhood come and play there. It's nothing fancy - a few plastic slides, a few swings, and some a nice rubber surface to run around on - so we took Bunky down there on Saturday morning and gave him another crack on the swings.  He clearly seems to quite enjoy himself on them: DSC_1199

Rice cracker bribery

In an effort to get Bunky to move either forward or backwards, we placed a rice cracker - one of his favourite tasteless treats - just out of reach while he was on his tummy.  He is quite happy on his tummy, although he tends to do 360 degree spins instead of actually going anywhere. Anyway, things didn't quite go according to plan:

Fort Bunky, Fat Ben

A few photos from today - firstly Fort Bunky. A complicated arrangement of cushions and pillows designed to prevent him from falling off the bed while we get changed in the morning: DSC_1098-2.

Next, a little bit of Fat Ben - happily snoozing away in the lounge.  Seriously, this is how he sleeps:

Also, I tweaked the website behind the scenes - now iPhone / iPod Touch / Google Android people will see a mobile-optimised version of the site. I don't think I needed to do it, but it was quick, easy and free. So I figured I may as well do it.  The website will look a bit like this - but at the bottom you'll have the option to view the site in its normal format:

Screenshots.

I've also tried to turn on comments for individual posts.  I'm still ironing out some kinks, but the comment boxes should be under all new posts from now on. Use them wisely (Note that the very first comment you leave on the site automatically goes into a moderation queue - after that first "approved" comment, your comments show up straight away).

Pokfulam Market Day

We took the little man down to the monthly market, where he got to sit in the sun and hang with his mate Sam.  Photos below are of Bunky and a few friends who were also there: DSC_0467

Baby group [Password = name of Keane family chocolate labrador]

Emma and Mark asked me to take a few photos for their baby group, which is shortly disbanding due to the repatriation of some of its members.  They are a fantastic bunch of really friendly people, and it was great fun - although a little exhausting (fourteen adults and fourteen children!) I've popped a few of the photos from the afternoon below (with some rough edits - I need to sit down for a few hours and do proper edits on all of them): DSC_0522
