My DS6 was obsessed with letters as an infant. His first vocalizations were letters! His favorite toy was a wooden ABC puzzle. At around 18 months, he became particularly fond of the letter 'H' for some reason. DS would carry around the yellow wooden 'H' from the puzzle all day and we had to bring it everywhere we went. He would ask for it as soon as he woke up in the morning. We still have that ABC puzzle, and all of the letters look bright and new except for a dingy, dinged up 'H'. It sounds so cute now but, honestly, I was worried he was "on the spectrum" because he was attached to a wooden letter! He is quite the renaissance man now though, and is social and athletic in addition to still loving letters!
