Shh! Wipe Banana!

This morning Benjamin had some banana for breakfast and treated his Mommy to the word "nana" for the first time. As the meal progressed he reached out for the baby wipes in earnest. He has been doing a very fast back and forth arm movement for the last few weeks or so, kind of like a low flapping of the arm. Slow Mommy did not make the connection until this morning. He kept reaching out for the baby wipe container until I gave him one. Then he briskly wiped down his high chair tray. He's been a wiping clean freak of a baby this whole time! As soon as he can walk we are giving him a broom. And to top it all off, tonight before bed we were reading one of his favorite books, "How Loud Is A Lion?" and a repeating stanza throughout it is "Shh! Listen!" And twice he said, "shh!" So many firsts in one day.
