Elias Jumping, Bathing & Eating Grapes

Here is our wee man having a bath at our friend house up north. He particularly liked the fact that he could look at himself in the mirror while bathing:)

Elias just being cute and playing with toys at our friends house.

Trying grapes for the first time

Grapes are a winner!

Elias really loves spending time in his "Jolly Jumper", especially when he can watch himself in a mirror:) Here are a couple of links to Youtube clips of Elias in his "Jolly Jumper" Elias jumping in his "Jolly Jumper" http://youtu.be/37H18rEaLzc Elias spinning in his "Jolly Jumper" http://youtu.be/yiwDQ0NVpyk Another clip of him Pirouetting http://youtu.be/Nqk9o4lzhpA

Nearly Crawling

Elias in the crawling stance, although not yet crawling:)

Finally, a picture with Mum!

Elias loves to eat whatever we are eating...and makes sure he lets us know that he is waiting for food if we appear not to notice his 'puppy dog eyes'.

Elias Playing, Eating and Being Cute

Elias just being cute

Elias while eating...love the food beard!

Elias playing with his 'letter box'. Here is a youtube link of him playing with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MO38MbzW_4&feature=youtu.be

Elias playing and cuddling Dad

Elias may not be crawling yet, but his rolling allows him to get around the room. Here he is playing with his blocks which he made his way to on his own.

Elias having cuddles with Dad. ________________________________________________________________________ Here is the link to a youtube clip...sorry about the poor quality, filmed at night and forgot I needed to turn camera around...you will just need to watch it with you head cocked to one side:) http://youtu.be/GNtebjeSjz0

Elias rolls across the lounge and extra's

Elias has been sick this week with a cold. He, like us adults liked to spend time chilling out on the couch as part of his recuperation.

Elias with Dad

Elias has been rolling a lot lately...in this picture he has managed to roll from his play mat (on the left of the photo) to where you can see him. Clever boy! You can watch Elias rolling on youtube by clicking the following link http://youtu.be/AED6knV3ZBc

Sitting and eating

Elias practising sitting up (tri-pillow behind him), he is so cute

Elias after a feed of banana/mango puree...yum. He is finally eating some fruit...we think he has expensive taste with the mango:)

Elias has never been to keen on weight bearing through his legs, so we decided that the 'Jolly Jumper" may be the answer. He has only been in it twice but already loves 'dancing'.

Check out Elias dancing on youtube: http://youtu.be/7fg8iV3YNxk

Elias rolling about

Elias is enjoying rolling about on the floor. He managed to situate himself under a chair the other day and enjoyed playing with the tassels hanging from the throw on the chair. My favourite picture is of him with the tassels hanging over his head - the caption would read "Don't you know that tassels are the new dreads:)

You can also check out Elias 'talking' by using the following link: http://youtu.be/e3X8QpWu5r8

Elias having fun with Dad

Fun time with Dad. Elias laughs/ giggles as his Dad blows raspberries on his neck.

Vegemite on Toast

Yum, vegemite on toast. Elias likes savoury food, we have tried him on fruit and he just doesn't like it. He likes the toast as it dissolves in his mouth with all his dribble:)

Mmm, water

Elias with his favourite drinking cup...well it is his only one actually! He does drink water out of it if Mum holds the cup up, but he likes to hold it himself and chew on the teat:)

First swim for Elias

Elias' first swim at Moana pool. He enjoyed it, well at least appeared to:) He was very relaxed throughout the 30 mins in the pool.
