New Baby Advice - Must-Have Toys

I'm sure you will agree, whether your kids are babies, toddlers or big kids, the amount of toys in your house is IMMENSE.  And not all toys are created equal.  The following baby toys, I can confidently tell you, are winners all around the board!  Register for them or buy them for friends.  You can't go wrong.

Manhattan Whoozit - this is generally for slightly older babies, like maybe 4-6 months, up to almost a year.

Sassy Rings - this is your baby's first toy!  A newborn will respond to these, and a 6 month old will enjoy bang them all over the place.
 Lamaze Dragonfly - a baby will notice this around 4 or 5 months when you rattle it in her face, but then will love to hold it and shake it at 6 months plus.
 Vulli Sophie the Giraffe - this is new since my first son was born and it is all the rage!  Allegedly hand-made in France, it is a sweet, squeaky toy that is entertaining and a teether.

Rhino Oball Rattle - this is also a new addition to our arsenal with baby number two and it has been his very favorite toy, starting very early on.  Initially, we would shake it in his face, and now at the age of 7 months, he shakes it and throws it across the room.  And then gets mad because he can't retrieve it (yet.)
