Development observations

He currently has seven teeth and they look ok at the moment (not that I am a qualified dentist).

He is now able to manipulate two objects in one hand. We can demonstrate this by handing him three objects one at a time. The first he takes with his right hand, the next he takes with his left hand and when offered the third, he sometimes transfers an object from one hand into, the already occupied, other hand before taki9ng the object.

Raphael is learning his bed time routine well. Last night Annie and I were going about the business of setting up of of his night time equipment when he lifted his leg in the air when we went to put his oxygen monitor on his foot. This isn't the first time he has done this and we are now convinced that he has learned this behaviour. He has only been on CPAP for a very choppy/interrupted month and so it took us by surprise that he has learned to help us, by doing this, so quickly.

On the down side, he has vomited three times today so far. He is still not very well.
