A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E!!

It's amazing how much Baylor learns everyday. I can't even believe how much he picks up and holds onto with that beautiful brain of his. Lately, his interests have been primarily that of the alphabet variety. Yes, he is learning the alphabet. He couldn't sing the song if you asked him to, but point to a letter (especially an upper case one) and he'll tell you what it is.

Remember the "Always looking for adventure" wall decal we put up in his new room? Yeah, point to the letters in "adventure" and he'll say each and every one of them. Yes, this is a bit of a prideful moment on my part, but isn't that what being a mom is all about?

Anyhow, I can't take all the credit for it. He's just taken an interest in a lot of his toys and books that are focused around the alphabet, and my sister got him started with the ABC stacking blocks at my parents' house. Go, Aunt Christine!

He also likes his Leap Frog Alphabet Pal caterpillar.


And his Parents Rubber Blocks! (I'll talk about them more later in the post ... apparently Blogger has decided to mess with my picture order and orientation. Grrrr.)

And possibly most of all, he loves his Dr. Seuss ABC book! His Sandra Boynton A to Z book is a hit, too.

So, his Parents rubber blocks. He got them from my sister for Christmas and just adores them! Each of the 26 blocks has a letter of the alphabet on it as well as a corresponding animal (though I take umbrage with putting a unicorn on the block for "U" since it's not a real animal). Plus, they are rubber so they would have to be thrown pretty hard to hurt much of anything ... Little B even likes to nestle into a bucket of them every so often. You can find these at Target; they make a great gift for any little guy or gal!

So yeah, the little man is learning about letters. That's what's new. What's new with you?
