Development and vomit

Raphael has done some new things. He is getting over his sickness finally and has been trying out a new sign and a new sound. He can now say "ooooo" and can copy us when we sign "more" although I dont believe that he knows what it means.

On another note I have somethign to complain about. As a general rule we try to feed Rapahel as much food as possible, but if he eats too much too quickly then he vomits. So it has become an art form to determine whether he has eaten too much recently. Today, recently, we decided that he had eaten enough for the time being but for the first time I can remember he wanted to eat more. We didn't want to risk giving him more and so we refused to give him anything. Unfortunatelly this made him upset and when he gets upset he can go into a coughing fit and when he goes into a coughing fit he is very likely to vomit; this is exactly what happened. So in an attempt to prevent him from vomiting, we caused him to vomit. That was so frustrating!
