As far as nicknames go my wife calls him "punkin" and I call him "stinker" or "stinkerbelle". For obvious reasons. And we have tried giving him a toy while changing his nappy but that just gives him something to hold onto while he rolls.

Yes - George and I go back a ways. Brendan gets to listen to some of his music too. His favorite song - that I sing to him - seems to be Hobo's Lullaby.

He's standing by himself - with something to hold on to. I pity the cats once he starts walking. They won't be holding their tails in the air anymore I'm sure.
