If there's one thing we know about George, it's that he's got main character energy. Sure, he's been very sweet with baby Sofia since she arrived on the scene almost three months ago—but he's also not above reminding everyone that he was here first. 😂

Alex Drummond recently shared a video on Instagram that perfectly captures their family dynamic, and it's equal parts adorable and hilarious. In the clip, Mauricio is "reading" a book to Sofia—quotation marks necessary, because this particular book doesn't actually have words. (It's one of those high-contrast picture books meant for tummy time, so he was just making up a story as he went.) The moment is peaceful. Wholesome. Fatherly, even! Until, of course, you notice the dog lurking in the background.

And then, George makes his move.

Out of nowhere, the golden retriever swoops in and steals the book right out from under them, trotting proudly around the living room like he just won the lottery. Mauricio's reaction? Frozen in a mix of shock, amusement, and sheer betrayal.

"George has hijacked story time," Alex captioned the clip.

Of course, George and Sofia have already had plenty of cute bonding moments—he's been a patient big brother, after all. But every once in a while, he just has to remind everyone that he's still the firstborn.

Watch the full clip and see for yourself. Mauricio's face alone is worth a replay!
