ABCs

Trey is learning his letters! For a while now, he has known that the letter "A" sounds like "aaaaaah," the letter "B" makes a "baa" sound, and the letter "D" makes a "daa" sound. He will also sometimes say "C," "mmmm" for the letter "M," and "ssssss" for the letter "S." As we founds out with colors, Trey doesn't like to show off at home, so at times it is hard for us to know exactly what all he does know (yes, this is one of the trade offs of being a working mom -- I try not to think too much about it). But then there are the times that Trey surprises us.

Trey has a tub full of those foam letters and numbers to use in the bath. Santa brought them to him last year, and for a while we thought that Santa was being a little ambitious. After all, a then-10-month-old Trey was only interested in putting the Ms and Ps in his mouth to chew on, which the packaging specifically forbids. But lately, Trey has been getting some real use out of the foam letters. Last night in the bath, Trey picked up the "B" letter and said "B!!!!"
