Banana, light of my life

On Friday, Craig said, "He definitely says banana."

They had gone to the grocery store earlier, and the word had been uttered in the appropriate part of the produce section -- in front of the apples. No, just kidding!

Isaac says it somewhat indistinctly, with two syllables: nah-nuh. I think he's been saying it for a while, maybe as long as two months, but it was infrequent enough that we weren't sure. He doesn't say it every time he sees a banana, for instance -- and he doesn't say it every time he wants some banana, either, or else we'd be hearing it around the clock. Boy loves him some banana.

So banana makes the move from first fake word to first real word. Congratulations, banana! I was hoping for mama, or even milk, but hey, banana deserves it. We've been saying "Bah. Nah. Nuh." around here for many weeks. Strangely, it reminds me of this inappropriate literary reference.
