The nanny saw her delight and continued to speak.
"Most children, at five months, can only hum a few tones at most. The little master is incredible, as I've never seen a five-month-old child who can speak like him."
In fact, the nanny might be exaggerating a little - Ben is not exactly speaking yet.
What he can do is connect a few simple sounds and hum them together.
The only smooth thing he can say is 'Mommy.'
But even so, it's quite remarkable.
As a mother, the favorite thing to hear is not other people praising yourself, but praising your baby.
That's how Lily Gray feels now.
Hearing the affectionate words from the nanny, her smile could hardly be contained.
She picked up little Ben and hugged and touched him, playing with him for quite a while. When it was about time, she put him back in the crib.
The little lad was reluctant to let go of her, holding onto her hand tightly.
