Narcissism Pt 2 | Why people pirate movies

Rachel took this photo of the little man this morning - it seems he has developed a bit of a crush... on himself: .

.

.

And on a completely unrelated note, I stumbled across this graphic this morning.  Having sat through annoying unskippable (loud) movie previews and pointless FBI warnings many, many times over the last few years, this is a nice reminder of why people are reluctant to fork out for DVDs these days:

New hoodie

Modelling the birthday hoodie that Aunty Kristine and Uncle Josh gave him a few weeks ago. In the full length photos, he is (of course) dancing to the soulful tunes of Handy Manny, the Spanish Disney Tool Guy. .

Don't look too closely at this photo.  You might see his "morning hair dreadlocks".

.

.

"Let's see... do we have all the tools?  Come on tools - LET'S DANCE!"  (Seriously, G's tool truck actually says this.  Someone at Disney is on crack)

.

Yes George, another photo.  Smile or you don't get any lunch.

Weekend randomness

Nothing much to report other than the weather being horrible and Bunky having a bit of a cold.  Here's a compilation of random photos from the last few days (I'm still working out how to edit photos properly with Aperture, so forgive me if the colours look a bit wonky). .

Clockwise from left:  The gorgeous flowers from Aunty Kristine and Uncle Josh, George inspecting the contents of his toy box, George about to give the sleeping cats a rude awakening...

Hong Kong parks:  It's all about having fun

What? The City of Las Vegetables?

Narcissism (and other morning photos)

What could possibly be keeping George's attention? He's absolutely fascinated with something: .

.

.

...silly question.  He is of course admiring himself on the computer screensaver:

Some other random photos from this morning:

And finally my favourite photos from the morning - see what happens when he finds sheepskin....

Swings and slides

The one person eating machine had a fun day today - morning was the usual "how many lego blocks can I fit in my mouth" shenanigans and then we headed down the hill to play on the swings and slides in the yukky polluted Hong Kong air. Rachel had to head out at lunch, so it was boys' morning at the apartment. I had heard that George had been eating enough to feed a rugby team, but I hadn't seen him lunching for a week or so. Seriously, the boy can eat.

In the presence of his daddy, George ate two sausages, part of an avocado, some cheese, a load of yoghurt, some blueberries, some strawberries, some milk and a bit of pear. I was gobsmacked at the amount of food that disappeared down his waiting gob.

In the afternoon I ended up taking him downstairs where the children of the building tend to congregate. He's a bit young to really do anything apart from eat a toy and crawl around watching the big kids, but he had a great time cuddling up to his favourite golden retriever, Trostsky.

It's almost dinnertime here, so I'll leave you with a few photos of the Bunkmeister and his mummy down at the playground.

But... before I go - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY JACQ! (Each of those words is a separate hyperlink, by the way...)

Photos: Morning lounge, evening bath

A few more random photos from around and about the house - we did actually get out this weekend, but apart from the photo that Sam took yesterday, I haven't got much to show for it. Ooops. .

The little monkey in the lounge this morning. Whenever he spots something made of sheepskin or anything that vaguely resembles a pillow, he drops his little head, puts his finger in his mouth... and has a little rest.  It really is the cutest thing ever.

.

.

In the bath tonight - playing the "throw toy out of the bath and look pleased with myself" game

.

.

He covers quite a lot of ground during bathtime...

Guest photographer

This photo was taken by little Sam Binnington - aged 3 and a bit (we had lunch with him and the rest of the Binnington Clan on Ssaturday, and I let Sam take a few photos with my camera): .

.

He did a pretty good job, huh?

Also, looking at the sheer awesomeness of my afro, I'm guessing my next haircut isn't too far away - although I could probably blame this one on the wide angle lens.
