Another career move?


After our English heat wave, cooler weather has returned for the moment. George tries on a "hoodie", or hooded sweatshirt. It has a connection with hooliganism here in the UK, and several localities have tried to have them banned(!)
Perhaps George has a career with "A.S.B.O." initials after his name?

ASBO is the UK's initiative to combat Anti-Social Behaviour (Order). No, it doesn't mean wallflowers aren't singled out, or that everyone must compete to be the life of the party! It's an ordinance aimed at diminishing graffiti, loitering, intimidation, and destructive behaviour, usually perpetrated by teens and young adults. If you're slapped with an ASBO, it means something like you aren't allowed within so many feet of a particular area, or are banned from engaging in the particular activity (e.g. insulting members of the public, etc.)

To date, George's only possible ASBO offence would be when he tried to grab his mummy's glass of juice at their post-natal group lunch meeting and ended up spilling it all over the mummy/son pair next to them. It was pretty anti-social...

Bookworm



Perhaps a career in Library and Information Management?

It's only "Digger and Dabbler At Home" (and it is upside down) but one has to start somewhere!

Food and drink?


OK, so toes aren't really food, but apparently they're quite good to suck on.


And this mug is empty, but George still wants to be like Daddy and suck down giant mugs of tea!

Maybe he'll stick to bottles and pureed veggies for a while longer...

New Friend


George has a new friend who stares at him from the play mat. The friend in the hallway makes him giggle.
This picture gives a good view of George's hemangioma on the back of his head. It should disappear eventually, even if he doesn't grow any hair to cover it first!
