Cepheus is beginning to pick up more words.. other than PAPA and MAMA, recently he start to pick up new words as he play along with his 'speak along' toy.. one of the toys that was a gift from his first birthday.. he likes to mimick us too, other than simple words, he even mimick us when we say AIYA and AIYO.. and we find that he can really speak rather accurate as well.. maybe that is why people say have to teach the right pronunciation as sometimes when we speak wrongly he will tend to mimick as well.. he is still not able to speak full sentences.. but can only say word by word.. now his favourite words are *TAR (as in STAR, he is not able to pronounce to S as he still have no teeth yet)PAPA, MAMA and APPLE.. wherever he goes, wherever he sees stars, he will start to say TAR, TAR, TAR.. hahaha...

Cepheus threw up again this afternoon while i am feeding him his porridge, he didnt finish his milk this morning but finish a big bowl of cereal.  We were afraid that he will be hungry in the afternoon since he didnt finish his lunch as well, and thought that we can give him bread later on, however, when he sees his dad eating his favourite weekend treat (his daddy's fav is now ROAST DUCK DRUMSTICK RICE, which he would not fail to eat every weekend), he wanted to eat as well, so we scoop some rice and shred some duck meat for him to go with.  And surprisingly, Cepheus finish everything without throwing up and he actually tries to bite as he eats it.

I think he keep throwing up on porridge is because he is just too lazy to bite when we give him something watery, he will just swallow everything on the spoon and in the end often end up choking, however, to swallow a mouthful of rice is not easy for an adult as it is so dry, let alone a baby, so when Cepheus is eating rice or biscuits, he will try to chew and disolve the items with his saliva to soften the food first before swallowing, that is why, he seldom choke on hard food but instead always choke on soft or watery food.. however, giving him rice is not an option currently, although we do give him a few mouthfuls every night now when we have our dinner at home, as he doesnt have enough teeth to chew on the vege, meat etc.. so its still easier to prepare porridge for him, but have to be careful of his choking and swallowing at the same time on his porridge...
