How DID He Get So Smart?

Da-Doo is clearly working on developing that brain of his right now:

He reads his favorite books to himself. Hearing "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" are particularly amusing.

He knows a lot of his letters (by sound/name). He stunned me yesterday by telling me all the letters on my "St. Thomas" sweatshirt.

He somehow has learned numbers, too. I recently asked him, "Do you want 1 cranberry or 2?" He replied, "3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!"

And here's my favorite piece of evidence: On Tuesday, he got more than his fill of Mama, and was quite excited to see J come home. Except J had to leave right away. Da-Doo was NOT happy about this, crying, clinging to J, and demanding: "Up! Up! Up!". Once in J's arms, he hugged him tight, and fiercely resisted being passed back to Mama. J told him that he was sorry, but he had to go. Da-Doo responded by hugging J even tighter, and yelled "Stuck!".
