Elliott goes Australia - still fist in mouth!

We are online again! - Elliott has arrived with Mamma and Pappa in Australia, staying with Granny Sue in Canberra and enjoying getting to know the Aussie side of the family! He managed to overcome his life's first jet lag without too much difficulty, and the climate change from minus 10 to 35+ degree heat without much complaint! New equipment essentials include sun glasses, sleeveless tops, hat, shorts, and swimnappies. Elliott is continuing to grow at an unabated rate (has outgrown the 3 month clothing size!), still cute and now quite chubby! (He is also losing some of his hair but his dad wants to keep this quiet.) He can sit up for a short while with only minimal support, he holds his head very steadily, and loves kicking and pushing with his legs. He just started to grab objects deliberately when playing. New vocabulary includes 'aaagh' and 'aaooo' and is mixed in with social interchanges and smiles. The determined 'Lal!' is still the word for food, and while concentrated at play, he growls and roars (brummar) like a little bear!
