Today, Benjamin waved. I know it doesn't impress anyone to find out a five-year-old waved, but as you may recall, Benjamin has been diagnosed with autism, and it's the first time I can recall him ever doing it. In addition, he was waving backwards, such that his palm was facing himself. This is very typical of how kids start off waving.
As I mentioned before, he has been reaching a number of early childhood milestones, lately. This is interesting because he largely skipped most of them. Actually, the accurate way to describe it is he just never reached them in the first place, so now he's finally getting around to it.
The really great milestone lately is that he has been copying a lot. This is completely new behavior. Here's something Karen noticed him copying:

He would bounce on the couch when he'd watch it. I couldn't get him to demonstrate for the camera, though.
