Australia Day Update 26 January

Elliott has grown a whole kilo on Aussie tucker and now weighs a proud 7.5kgs and is quite big for his age (3.5 months). He is expanding his repertoire of toys - and musical instruments - and Mamma has a hard time keeping him from watching TV (cricket a favourite pastime). It seems he has begun teething and is often on the lookout for things to chew or dribble on; often accompanied by his characteristic growl! He has set a new sleep record of 9 hours straight - although usually wakes up once in the night - and has experienced baby sitting without Mamma and Pappa for the first time. Proud achievements include sitting up very well with almost no support, holding the head relatively steady and turning it to watch things, and learning how to move toys or turn pages with his hands.
